a spider the size of your hand that wants nothing to do with you
means A person who hunts, especially one who manages hounds for a hunt — or, in everyday use, the large flat-bodied spider that bears the name.
from A plain English compound: 'hunt' (from Old English 'huntian,' to chase game) plus 'man.' The spider got the name later for its hunting style — it doesn't spin a web to wait, but actively stalks and chases its prey, much like a huntsman after a stag.
