צַיָּד‏ n.m. #2 hunter, fisherman

fowler JLAtg. TgJ Jer5:26 : צַיָידִין‏ [=MT יְקוּשִׁים]. TgJ Amos3:5 : הֲתִפוֹל צִיפְרָא בְקֻולָא עַל אַרעָא וְצַיָיד לֵית לַה‏ does a bird fall into a trap on the ground and have no fowler?.

fisherman JLAtg, Syr, JBA, Man. TgJ Is19:8 : וִיצַדוֹן צַיָידֵי נֻונַייָא וְיִתאַבְלֻון כָל דַהְווֹ רָמַן בְנַהרָא חַכְתָא‏ the fishermen of fish shall be devastated and all those who used to cast the hook in the river shall grieve.

The example at JLA Amos 3:5 is to be rendered "fowler" rather than "bird trap" in spite of the MT original.
