huntsman
Rider with hounds
A huntsman is a person who hunts, particularly one who manages hounds during a fox hunt or similar pursuit.
The term carries a traditional, slightly formal tone—you're more likely to encounter it in British contexts or period literature than in casual American speech: The huntsman sounded his horn to call the hounds.
A huntsman spider is a large, fast-moving spider found in warm climates.
