Characters in the same phonetic series (守) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
守 *qʰljuʔ, *qʰljus
狩 *qʰljus

Ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : 宀 (“roof; building”) + 寸 (“hand”); to guard, keep, or defend a place (e.g., a building whose roof is visible on top of the character). It's possible that 寸 (original form of 肘 (OC *tkuʔ)) is also a phonetic component. A more conservative version is 㝊, in which 又 is not a phonetic component.
