I'd highly recommend putting all your skills and attribute points into Mobility/Hiding and becoming a pure Hider
You won't regret it.
in the low levels you can hunt turkeys to get those annoying quest items out of the way.
in the mid 20's or so you will be hunting Coyotes and wolves, protecting the track of settlers
around level 30 you can do treasure hunt and stealing horses
I am now level 40 and doing Ambush , Grave Robber, Transporting Ammo , Selling guns to indians
you will find very nice items ESPECIALLY if you use premium, which I would highly recommend if choosing this path. You will also be a good fort defender as Hiding is an important skill when defending forts.
Good Luck
