There are a couple designated Hunter areas that form a habitat housing multiple [[Hunter creatures]]. These habitats are a desert, jungle, woodland and a snowy area. These Hunter areas are not the only locations in [[Gielinor]] that house Hunter creatures. There are also several other locations housing a single species.

Upon completing any of the following quests, players may choose to allocate experience to Hunter. These rewards usually come in the form of items, such as lamps or books, and are independent of any experience rewards directly received for completing the quest.
Hunter can be trained in a variety of locations throughout the game, with most players beginning their training in the Feldip Hills. Birdhouses are often utilised at later levels, and at level 46 players can access the Hunter Guild, located in the Avium Savannah, along with its associated rumours.
Released in November 2006, Hunter is the most recent skill added to Old School RuneScape.

The box trapping technique is used to catch ferrets and chinchompas. With the required Hunter level and completion of the Eagles' Peak quest, the player may set up a box trap. When a chinchompa or ferret passes the trap, it may be caught, but only when the player is not standing on the trap.

Miscellaneous
Bait and smoking traps
There are three ways for player to increase the catch rate of creatures: a higher skill level, using bait and smoking the trap. Many Hunter creatures have a preferred bait that players can use on a trap to increase the catch rate. To find out what the preferred bait of a creature is, visit the creature's page or the in-game Hunter guide. By smoking a trap, the player's scent will vanish, and thus make the creature less suspicious of the trap. A trap can be smoked by using a lit torch on the trap.
Adding a creature's corresponding bait to a trap will increase the catch rate by +3%, while smoking a trap with a Torch will increase the catch rate by +2%.[1] Due to the low increase of the catch rate, most players believe that smoking or adding bait to traps doesn't justify the extra actions it takes.
Multiple traps
Box trapping, net trapping, bird snaring and rabbit snaring can be done with multiple traps at once, with the maximum amount of traps depending on the player's Hunter level.
Some Hunter creatures will reward the player with the creature's fur when caught. These furs may be traded in at the Fancy Clothes Store in south-east Varrock for different types of hunter gear. In addition to the furs, the costume maker will also charge a small fee to create this gear.
Wearing camouflage gear does not improve the chance of successfully capturing creatures [2], although the tops and legs reduce the player's weight when worn by 3kg and 2kg respectively.
The Larupia, Graahk, and Kyatt hunter gear sets reduce damage from Hunter creatures by 20%, 40%, and 60% respectively.
The costume maker can also make a few other items. Spotted and spottier capes reduce the player's weight when worn, and the gloves of silence made from dark kebbit furs make pickpocketing easier.
The baby chinchompa is a skilling pet that can be obtained while catching any kind of chinchompa. The chances of getting it are dependent on the player's Hunter level and the type of chinchompa being hunted.
