For the Münchner Abendzeitung (AZ) he wrote his regular column "Hunter notiert" since 1952. According to his own admission, he wrote for up to 40 sheets during his most successful period. In Munich he organized several balls a year, such as the carnival ball "Hunters battue". In 1970 Obermaier switched to Bild . He also worked for the Bunte . Hunter is considered a role model for the society reporter Baby Schimmerlos from the TV series Kir Royal , next to his successor at AZ Michael Graeter , as well as the reporters Almut Hauenschild, Paul Sahner and Franz Hug.
