huntswoman
She pursues game
A huntswoman is a woman who hunts, whether for sport or as a profession.
The term appears in contexts where gender distinction matters or where the masculine *huntsman* feels inappropriate: She was an accomplished huntswoman who had tracked game across three continents.
Less common than the gender-neutral *hunter*.
