Random thought from this peanut -

Hunter is a bit like Orienteering - "a competitive sport in which participants 
find their way to various checkpoints across rough country with the aid of a 
map and compass, the winner being the one with the lowest elapsed time."

The Finnish word for that according to Google translate is “Suunnistus”
