Spanish term or phrase: Caza en mano

I have tried to hold off asking this one but here goes.

La caza en mano es aquélla practicada por varios cazadores conjuntamente, abiertos en ala y a una distancia aproximadamente equidistante, generalmente ayudados por perros, con el objeto de batir el campo.

Cada mano se compone comúnmente de una partida de entre 2 y cuatro cazadores.

In this second paragraph what does it mean by "cada mano"?

in teams

Explanation:
This is what this article seems to suggest:

En la caza en mano, conozca la situación de sus compañeros. Precaución con otras cuadrillas que se crucen con nosotros.
Extreme la precaución en las zonas de monte o vegetación espesa. Piense en su perro o en los de sus compañeros a la hora de disparar. No lo haga si no está convencido de que los disparos no los alcanzarán.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Could this be known as the "stalking method"?

45 mins confidence:

( a) team of five / teams of five

Explanation:
...implying 5 people making up the team (... just like the fingers in a hand)

cada mano = each hand. In this context it means "each team of five"
The other word that comes in mind is "a handful of" but I am not sure this term can be used in this context.

Good luck!

Scouting in groups

Explanation:
The RAE gives the following definition of mano:

17. f. En la caza, cada una de las vueltas que dan los cazadores reconociendo un sitio para buscarla.

"Each scouting of the area" here might be a possibility.
