Idiom-Magic - A Happy Hunting Ground.

The North America Indians believed that when they died their souls would move on to a place where they would spend eternity happily fishing and hunting. However, when people speak of a happy hunting ground today, they mean an area rich in opportunities or one that will prove profitable to them. "I have discovered that the library is a happy hunting ground for my research work." "This beach is a happy hunting ground to anyone interested in collecting seasheels."
