Venery, or hunting with hounds, is an ancestral way of hunting which consists of chasing a wild animal (traditionally stags, wild boar, roe deer, fox or hare) with a pack of hounds until it is exhausted and captured. Only dogs hunt, thanks to their sense of smell and predatory instinct. The role of the human being, generally on horseback for the occasion, is to control and follow them.
