I'm considering the idea of Rangers in urban fantasy. Not hunters, but someone whose job it is to ensure that the mystical ecosystem is stable. Like they wouldn't let a werewolf massacre a small town wholesale, but if you're going to the pyrenees to hunt a pack of werewolves who aren't bothering anybody, you are a poacher and will be shot as such.
And because of how vast the mystical world is, a ranger would have to be a functional 'do everything' professional. Ensuring local spirits are respected, monitoring sleeping dragons in the mountains to try and gauge when they'll wake up, and telling seafarers, "Look I'm sorry about your dad, but I can't let you just skin every mermaid you find in the hopes you'll someday get the one that drowned him."
