1) "In a case study on female involvement in hunting, women participate in many hunting activities around the world, whether encouraging hunting, performing rituals, tracking injured prey, preparing the hunt or supporting hunters. In the same study, the results showed that women assumed the role of hunter, however, they killed a lower diversity of species and achieved a lower hunting income when compared to men." (From an article "Influence of the sociodemographic profile of hunters on the knowledge and use of faunistic resources." by Jeferson De Menezes Souza)
2) "Having spent so many years in the role of hunter, it is unusual to find myself as prey!" This is a quote from a video game titled "Hand of Fate", unfortunately I can't add any more context.
Why are there no articles before the word "hunter" in the bolded phrases? Is it because "hunter" here is meant in a very general way and not as a profession? If so, how is it different from something like "This is the story of one day from dawn to dusk. Every day, by choice or by fate, each human being takes the role of a hunter or a gatherer. Hunting because of hunger, survival or simply for sport. Sometimes animals are Food and sometimes Pets." (source - https://faustomontanari.it/hunters-or-gatherers) Could these articles be omitted, then?
