Pippin:
There isn't a "nightly outing" -- there was another dead unicorn a week ago. Hagrid believes there is nothing in the forest that won't avoid him or Fang, and as far as we know that's what McGonagall thinks as well. Nobody at the school suspected that the unicorns were being killed by a wizard with a grudge against Harry. They thought the attacker was in the school, not in the forest. Whatever the centaurs knew,   they weren't talking.
