Morphology
The meaning 'an official document that allows a person to hunt...' is directly derivable from combining 'hunting' (pursuing wild animals) with 'permit' (a document granting permission). This noun+noun compositional pattern is common across languages and follows standard English compound logic, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Hunting permit is the name for the official paper that 'allows' a person to hunt. The first word hunting shows the activity and the second word permit is the paper you must show to a ranger, so the phrase means the document that lets someone hunt.
