Hear cop shot criminal on estate? (7)
I believe the answer is:
poacher
'criminal on estate?' is the definition.
'poacher' can be an answer for 'criminal' (poacher is a kind of criminal). I am not certain of the 'on estate?' bit.
'hear cop shot' is the wordplay.
'shot' is an anagram indicator.
'hear'+'cop'='hearcop'
'hearcop' with letters rearranged gives 'POACHER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for poacher that I've seen before include "Illegal game hunter" , "in the kitchen?" , "One at the game" , "Person hunting game illegally" , "Cooking device" .)
