'hunter' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for eagle that I've seen before include "Former US coin" , "five buck bit, or more" , "may be soaring" , "Bird of prey, may be golden" , "It normally takes two or three shots to shoot this" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
