* OlderThanRadio: Natty Bumppo, the hero from ''Literature/TheLastOfTheMohicans'' and other ''Literature/LeatherstockingTales'' by James Fenimore Cooper.

Often overlaps with ThePioneer; can turn into the MountainMan if he decides to stay outside civilization permanently. Contrast the EvilPoacher; compare and contrast the RoguishPoacher.

* One of these tries to goad Lucas [=McCain=] into killing him in a showdown in ''TheRifleman'' episode "Day of the Hunter".

* This is a possible [[AnEntrepreneurIsYou side-business]] for a character with high Survival skill in ''FalloutNewVegas'' -- harvesting and tanning the skins of the rarer varieties of mutated Gecko is particularly profitable.

* ''{{Ultima}} VII Part 2: Serpent's Isle'' gives us the Trapper, a frontiersman who hunts and traps the sentient Gwani for their pelts. Players may go in expecting a rehash of ''Ultima VII Part 1'' and its subplot about the logger who doesn't realize he's destroying the homes of the sentient Emps and swears to leave them alone as soon as he finds out. Uh...[[TheMostDangerousGame nope]].

* The hunters brought in to hunt the Beast in ''BrotherhoodOfTheWolf'' fit this mold.
* As does the wolf-hunter whom the Bishop hires to kill Navarre in ''{{Ladyhawke}}''.
* The protagonist in 2011's The Hunter qualifies; despite being referred to as just a mercenary, he knows a LOT about stalking, hunting, and trapping 4-legged prey.

* The wild hunters brought in to hunt the Beast in ''BrotherhoodOfTheWolf'' fit this mold.

* [[OneSceneWonder The bear guy]] from TrueGrit.

* Kraven the Hunter of Spider-Man fame is a super-villain with this as his shtick. When he isn't playing bad guy, he lives off the land in the wildest places of Earth, including the dinosaur infested Savage Land.

* Wolverine Mc Allister from the ''Journey'' comic book published by Aardvark-Vanaheim.

* In the ''Trixie Belden'' books, Mr. Maypenny, who works for Honey's father as gamekeeper in his preserve. I don't believe he gets paid for his services (at least not as much as Mr. Wheeler offered him, according to Mr. Maypenny's telling of it) but gets to hunt and trap the animals in the preserve for his own use. (Also Mr. Maypenny is the non-crazy/non-unicycle-riding/non-poacher that Honey and Trixie thought he was.)

* Parodied in a sketch of ''TheKidsInTheHall'', where a pair of French Canadian trappers row a boat with wheels on dry land, and kill businessmen for their expensive Armani suits.

* ''Sid Meier's VideoGame/{{Colonization}}'' got Fur Trapper colonist occupation, to [[CaptainObvious produce fur]] for your colony on forest squares. "Game" bonus is applied to both furs and food production on the square.

* ''{{Ultima}} VII Part 2: Serpent's Isle'' gives us the Trapper, a frontiersman who hunts and traps the sentient Gwani for their pelts.

* RedDeadRedemption relies heavily on hunting and trapping throughout the game.

* William "Buffalo Bill" Cody was less on the trapping side, and quickly parlayed his fame as a hunter into a career in entertainment, but he counts.

* The Fur Trappers from ''Sid Meier's {{Colonization}}'', who [[CaptainObvious produce fur]] for your colony.

* Natty Bumppo, the hero from ''Literature/TheLastOfTheMohicans'' and other ''Literature/LeatherstockingTales'' by James Fenimore Cooper. This one has to be OlderThanRadio, and possibly extending into OlderThanSteam (but not by much).
