I imagine they both are correct. If you are hunting for fox, use 'for' but if you are speaking of the act of fox hunting, 'hunting of fox' would also be correct.

I don't know what the rest of the phrase is, but both ways you've written the question are awkward. "Hunt for fox" is more correct but not completely grammatically correct. It lacks an article such as "a" or "the" as in "hunt for a fox" or "hunt for the fox." If you have more questions, check my profile and send me an email.

I agree with the answer that says that both are correct. The distinction is how the words are used in the sentence.
If hunt is a verb ("We hunt for fox on the weekend."), then "for" is correct.
If hunting is a noun ("The hunt of fox will begin promptly at 3:00 PM.") then it is "of." Hope that helps.

Since it's not a complete sentence it's hard to say. You could say: We are going hunting for fox today.
or: The hunting of fox is one of my favorite activities.
