Hunter
There is a confusing fuzzy line between Scout and Hunter, as sometimes a scout will hunt creatures. In fact, as not all scouts are hired, sometimes they earn money through hunting in the same way. So the line is hard to draw.
Let's focus on what a hunter does. They take down other creatures, then gather applicable resources from their corpses. For example, a rabbit has both meat and fur to offer. A Dire Pangolin has scales, though not its meat unless the hunter is a poacher. Deer have meat, fur, and antlers. All resources that need to be harvested from the corpse and properly handled to not spoiled.
So then what makes a hunter? When their normal focus is to obtain animals to process into tradeable products. This definition distinguishes between the farmer that just grabs some extra meat, and the hunter that earns their living taking down prey. Additionally, a scout will go wherever, the hunt is just an addition at times. Thus, we arbitrarily define a difference.
