Pair with vision looked for victims (6)

I believe the answer is:

preyed

'looked for victims' is the definition.
(prey can mean hunt for)

'pair with vision' is the wordplay.
'pair' becomes 'pr'.
'with vision' becomes 'eyed' (eyed means having eyes or vision).
'pr'+'eyed'='PREYED'

(Another definition for preyed that I've seen is " Hunted other animals for food".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
