Quick answer:

You can find excerpts of "How to Talk to a Hunter" in the ebook version of Pam Houston's Cowboys Are My Weakness: Stories on Google Books. However, due to copyright restrictions, the complete text is not available for free online. Purchasing the ebook is an option for accessing the full story. Generally, full texts are not available online unless they are in the public domain, which occurs 75 years after an author's death.

Since Google is a sponsor of eNotes, I guess it won't be a conflict for me to point you in their direction. You can find the ebook version of Houston's Cowboys Are My Weakness: Stories, in which this story appears, at books.google.com. At this web site, you can read excerpts of books and purchase the ebook for download.

Keep in mind that the text is copyrighted material, so you won't find the entire story and you cannot copy the text. For your convenience, I have pasted a link to the site below.

For future reference, unless a story is in the public domain (copyright extends to 75 years after an author's death), you most likely won't find the full text online. If you do, it's probably not there legally.
