Orcs, perhaps? Though that was in the middle of the Siege of Angband, so that is doubtful. It seems Eastern Beleriand was quite a good hunting ground for animals, as the land of Amras, son of Feanor, just below Estolad was quite a popular hunting ground, especially with Finrod. The man sure liked his hunting.

Or maybe he just liked the sons of Feanor, after all he was the wisest of the Noldor in M-E...

There are many references to hunting in the Sil by Elves, mainly the Elves you and Sister Golden Hair mentioned. The referrences seem to be more of a "male-bonding" kind of referrence where they're hunting animals.
In places in the book where Orcs are mentioned there seems to be a set up to the scene, where your mind conjures up dark images and dread. I don't get that feeling when I read the passages about the guys off hunting.
