This particular Daedric quest requires you to be at least level 17 to begin it. Once you meet that requirement, pay a visit to Hircine's Shrine located to the northwest of Bravil in The Nibenay Valley. The follower you need to speak with to start the quest is Vajhira. She will ask you if you're hunter or prey, to which you should answer "hunter." She'll then tell you to bring a Bear Pelt or a Wolf Pelt and present it as an offering to Hircine.

Such pelts aren't very difficult to come by, and you'll most likely have one in your possession at this point in the game. If you don't check the wilderness areas around the shrine - you just might find a bear or wolf waiting for your blade. Once you have the appropriate offering, approach the shrine and use it to summon Hircine. When the god speaks, he will ask that you go to Harcane Grove and hunt for his "amusement." Your prey is a unicorn, and you're to bring its horn back to Hircine as a tribute.

Harcane Grove is a very short distance to the southeast of the shrine. You'll want to be at least somewhat stealthy about your approach because three Minotaurs of the Grove guard the unicorn. If you enter the area correctly, you can single out the unicorn without any of the minotaurs even knowing you're there. Lodge an arrow into the neck of the unicorn, then snap the Unicorn Horn off its head. Sure, it feels wrong, but who would argue against the whim of a god?

Return to Hircine's Shrine and present him with the horn. "Did you taste its flesh and drink its blood," he asks. Nevertheless, he will be pleased by the horn and offer you a token, the Saviour's Hide, as a reward.
