Tiger possibly stalking hind in the bush? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

backwoods

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the bush?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'tiger possibly stalking hind' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'tiger' could be 'woods' (I've seen this before) and 'woods' is found in the answer.
'hind' could be 'back' (synonyms) and 'back' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for backwoods that I've seen before include "remote regions" , "Remote region" .)
