Could be useful though, I seem to be unable to find out about anything much more than medieval coursing and falconery at the moment, which is not quite right for Heortlings, if only becuase they don't have dog packs to hunt with.

Good - should have thought of that.

I would guess when the hunt is not about food but about the act of hunting itself. Eurpoean medieval hunting as a nobles pursuit seems to fall into this category, though Celtic and Roamn tales seem to also have hunts whose purpose is more related to the display of skill among the hunters than hunger as well.
