I've thought the same thing before, but two things bug me about that theory:

1. If he was a hunter, even retired, i don't think he would help Scott or any other werewolf. That would go against the grain of everything they stand for.

2. Gerard said he thought the vet retired years ago and the vet corrected him. If he isn't retired and he's a hunter, why haven't the Argents tried to pull him into their plans with the rest of the hunters, especially if they have a good history working together.

I don't think he's a werewolf or a hunter, but I don't think the writers will go too far out there with their explanation. He could be some sort of earthy witch doctor and still fit into this series.
