Note
Not every hunter is a person. A stable's hunters are horses, often thoroughbreds, bred and trained for the chase, and the word also names hunting dogs and the huntsman spiders. The seeking sense turns up in compounds such as bargain hunters, job hunters and treasure hunters. The plural possessive puts the apostrophe after the s: the hunters' cabin.
