Mammoth trapper (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tar

'mammoth trapper' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tar that I've seen before include "Tobacco residue; sailor" , "Sailor (colloq.)" , "Dark liquid used on roads" , "It paves the way" , "Hearty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
