Chases from that little old county (5)

I believe the answer is:

hunts

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'chases' is the definition.
(hunting is a kind of chasing)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for hunts that I've seen before include "Chases and kills (prey)" , "country pursuits" , "Traditional county" , "Pursues wild animals for sport" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
