I believe the answer is:

biden

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hunter' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'returning horned ibex hides' is the wordplay.
'returning' says the letters should be written backwards.
'hides' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'nedib' is hidden in the letters of 'horned ibex'.
'nedib' reversed gives 'BIDEN'.

'maybe' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
