Group of hunters satisfied bagging tail of grouse (4)
I believe the answer is:
meet
'group of hunters' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'satisfied bagging tail of grouse' is the wordplay.
'satisfied' becomes 'met' (as in 'met the conditions of his contract').
'bagging' is an insertion indicator (bag can mean to take or obtain).
'tail of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'grouse' is 'e'.
'met' placed around 'e' is 'MEET'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meet that I've seen before include "club" , "Assemble" , "Come across" , "Deal with - encounter" , "Fitting - encounter" .)
