Call from Hunt to agree with House (5-2)

I believe the answer is:

tally-ho

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

'call from hunt' is the definition.
'tally ho' can be an answer for 'call' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'from hunt' bit.

'agree with house' is the wordplay.
'agree' becomes 'tally' (synonyms).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'tally'+'ho'='TALLY-HO'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tally-ho that I've seen before include "Huntsman's cry" , "Cry of the huntsman pursuing the fox" , "Hunter's cry" , "Come on, hounds!" , "Hunt cry" .)
