This is my solve path for my "Bounty" sudoku introducing the hunter cage constraint.
The hunter cages are a new constraint type I have been working on to be able to explore the logic discovered with the psycho killer cages in more flexible ways.

Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- There are cages in the grid, digits can not repeat within cages.
- Black cages are normal killer cages, digits in these cages must sum to the value in the top left corner of the cage.
- Brown cages are hunter cages. Digits placed in hunter cages point to that box in the grid, and the cell in the same position in that box. The digits in the top left corner of a hunter cage must be pointed to by the digits in the cage.

Correction to where I go wrong in my solve path:
At 34:50 where I restrict r7c23 to a 37 pair I do this without valid logic. Here is what I should have done.
If you put a 7 into r8c3, then that forces an 8 into r8c4 and makes the 16 cage a 2356 cage.
If you put an 8 into r8c3, then that makes r9c3 a 1, forces a 5 into r9c6 and makes the 16 cages a 2356 cage.
Either way making that cage a 2356 places some digits, including resolving the hunter cage in b2 and everything collapses from there.
Sorry viewers.
