Wabbit hunter in Skelmersdale (5)
I believe the answer is:
elmer
'wabbit hunter' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elmer that I've seen before include "- - Gantry (book, film)" , "Man" , "name" , "____ Rice, US dramatist" .)
