Alright, let’s talk about this “word often paired with hunter” thing, you know, the kind they use in them fancy New York Times crossword puzzles. I ain’t no scholar, but I reckon I can figure this out. It’s like, what do them hunters always be doin’? They be lookin’ for somethin’, right?
So, if you ask me, words that go with “hunter” are things like “bounty”. Yeah, bounty hunters, they always be lookin’ to catch someone for the reward money. It’s like in them old western movies, always a bounty on somebody’s head. Or maybe it’s just plain old “hunt”, like “hunt for food” or somethin’ like that.
- Bounty – Like I said, them bounty hunters.
- Hunt – Makes perfect sense, don’t it? Hunters hunt.
- Deer – What do hunters hunt most of the time? Deer! So, it fits right in.
Them city folks, they like to make things complicated, but it ain’t that hard. If a hunter ain’t huntin’ for bounty, he’s huntin’ for somethin’ to eat, like “deer” or maybe some other critter. We used to have a fella in our town, always talkin’ about deer huntin’. He’d go out every season, come back with a big ol’ buck. So yeah, “deer” is a good one too.
Now, this New York Times crossword, they say it’s a real brain teaser. I reckon it is, if you ain’t used to thinkin’ about things like this. But if you live out here, where huntin’ is just a part of life, it ain’t so hard. You just gotta think about what a hunter does, what he needs, and what he’s lookin’ for.
They also talk about clues and answers and all that. Sounds like a lot of fuss to me. If they just said “what goes with hunter,” I could tell ’em straight away. It’s like when you see a puzzle, and you know right away where that piece goes. It just fits.
I heard tell that some of these puzzles are real famous, even show up in movies and books. Can you believe that? People makin’ a big deal outta words and clues. Well, I guess it keeps ‘em busy. Back in my day, we didn’t have time for such things. We were too busy workin’ the land and puttin’ food on the table.
But hey, if they wanna play games with words, that’s their business. Me, I just try to keep things simple. Hunter? Bounty, hunt, deer. That’s all there is to it, far as I can see. Don’t need no fancy book learnin’ to figure that out.
And this “NYT Crossword Puzzle” thing? Seems like folks are always tryin’ to solve it. They got clues and answers and dates and all that. Like that time they had a clue about “Buddy” back in September. Or that one about Carol Brady. Lordy, who got time for all that? I tell you, city folks got way too much time on their hands.
But if you are gonna play their game, you gotta think like they do. They ain’t just gonna give you the answer straight out. They gonna make you think, make you work for it. So, you gotta look at the word, think about what it means, and then try to figure out what other words go with it. It’s like lookin’ for clues in the woods, only instead of tracks and signs, you got letters and words.
So, there you have it. My two cents on this “word often paired with hunter” business. Bounty, hunt, deer. Take your pick. Or maybe there’s some other fancy word they use in the city. But out here, in the real world, them’s the words that come to mind when you say “hunter.”
And if you’re still stuck on that crossword, maybe you should just go outside and get some fresh air. Sometimes, the best way to solve a puzzle is to stop thinkin’ about it so hard.
