Let's Go Hunting (Meta)

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is what a hunter seeks
I must confess that I have never gone hunting, save for one memorable time when I was a child and Dad took us out rabbit shooting. Now rabbits are an introduced pest here in Australia so I guess we were just trying to do our bit to protect our native species. I don't recall being allowed to have a shot. But Dad must have been successful, because I remember we had rabbit for dinner that night. (It tasted a bit like chicken!) I don't know if this little story will help or hinder your search for the meta answer, which is what a hunter seeks. Answer & explanation: https://xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=164195#p164195
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
