Used to describe when a drunken individual (i.e. College male) is going out for the night solely with intention of getting drunk and finding someone to
hook up with. This individual is not likely to care about
the others looks, but is more interested in the easiness of
the score.
Man 1: "Hey did you see John leave with
Cindy last night at the party?"
Man 2: "Yeah, he was
on the prowl last night, after getting turned down from Sarah he set his
sights on Cindy"
