How to use "Hunt down" in context?
Hunting is a centuries-old tradition, which is still practiced by some today. While it is most common to hunt animals for food, there are other reasons to hunt, such as protecting oneself or others from danger.
There are many different ways to pursue and kill an animal. Some hunters use firearms, while others use traps and hunting dogs. Regardless of the method used, the goal is the same: to bring down the animal as quickly and humanely as possible.
The vast majority of hunting accidents occur during firearms hunts, which is why proper safety training is so important.
