Hunters are exclusively food gatherers. That's it. Can they do more? Sure, but it ain't part of the job. "Huntsmen" are trained to fight Grimm. What they put that training to use for is irrelevant and up to them, and like Raven shows, doesn't even need to have something to do with Grimm. They are trained to hunt Grimm, specifics such as "while defending an area" or "while helping a group get to some place" are only conditions.

Like I said, the only difference is the training, which is not even necesary to be a "Huntsman" in practice as proven with Roman, Neo, arguably Blake. And while "not part of their job", "Huntsmen" can also do more than just kill Grimm.

Hunters can also be "Huntsmen" in strength and abilities, since everyone has Aura and it's not like it's a government secret plus it can unlock by itself. And like "Huntsmen", while "not part of their job", they can do other things if they want. Like kill Grimm, or help a group get somewhere.

There's also the case of semantics: Let's say I write a man, who is a hunter, but not a "Huntsmen". The correct thing would be to call him a Huntsman, but that would create confusion with the other Huntsmen, no?
