Dig out victim (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

quarry

I believe this is a double definition.

'dig out' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'victim' is the second definition.
(quarry is a kind of victim)

(Other definitions for quarry that I've seen before include "Hunted animal - mine" , "Hunted animal; stone pit" , "Excavated pit" , "Prey or stone pit" , "Surface excavation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
