Hunter (SoM)

Hunter is one of the five bachelors available for the female main character to marry in Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories.
Hunter runs the animal shop where you can buy your chickens, cows and sheep. He is a man of very few words; however, he has a very kind heart. Talk to him and he will give you all sorts of tips on how to take better care of your animals.
Make sure you meet him as soon as possible when you start the game so he can supply you with much needed tools (Milker, Pitchfork, Clipper and Brush).
==Story==
Hunter has never been good with people and words and has distanced himself from people since he was young. However, as a child he interacted with the giant cows owned by the elderly couple who used to run your farm and his dream of working with animals was realized. Since then, he has loved animals and dreams of befriending everyone and being able to become a bridge between humanity and animals.

Hunter: "...I'm Hunter... This is muh Animal Shop. I see stuff folks need fer keepin' animals... If y'all a farmer, I reckon y'all'll be raisin' some animals... Lemme give y'all some tools you'll need for takin' care of 'em."
* You received a brush, milker, pitchfork, clippers and 10 pieces of animal feed!*
Hunter: "Y'all's cows, sheep, and horses go in th' barn... Th' chickens go in th' coop... Put th' animal feed in th' feedbox in the barn or coop. Then th' animals can eat it any time. On sunny days, th' animals an' poultry like goin' outside to graze on th' grass... If th' barn or coop gets dirty, y'all should muck it out... You can use th' much as fertilizer.. Animals, they're right fond a' bein' brushed, but if y'all leave things dirty, they'll get sick... Y'all can get milk from cows an' wool from sheep... Jus' keep in mind they won't give y'all nothin' till y'all finish carin' for 'em proper... I'll give y'all a book 'bout how to raise animals... Any questions, and th' answers are right in there. Y'all can read books by lookin' at the bookshelf in y'all's house... Muh Animal Shop's open from 10am to 6pm... Tuesdays an' Saturdays're muh days off, though. Now, y'all make good friends with y'all's animals, hear...?"

...Y'all's animals doin' awright? ...If y'all got any trouble with th' animals an' don't understand somethin', I'll lend a hand. Animals, they can tell when a human's fond of 'em... A happy animal will... well, y'all can get high-quality products from 'em.
...Shucks... I ain't no slick talker, but when it comes to animals, I'll talk with y'all any ol' time...
...When I was a young'un, I saw a big ol' cow. Big, but real gentle. Friendliest cow y'ever saw... Ever since then, I've been real fond a' animals...cows, 'specially... Do y'all like animals too...? I'd be mighty pleased to hear it if y'all do."
