the hidden Hunter

But that gives me another thought. Since there's only one werewolf left, three known innocents, and one gifted, would it be better for the Hunter to stay hidden, or reveal?

Let's say the Hunter is NOT one of the three known innocents. It's not me, by the way. If the Hunter reveals toDay, what are the choices facing the werewolf? Any ideas?
This is an interesting topic, and here are my thoughts on it:

The Hunter, whomever he/she is, should probably not reveal him/herself. Revealing the Hunter at this point would only help the wolf.

A revealed Hunter is an obvious target for our remaining wolf, and as soon as possible: the wolf would likely try to take the Hunter down while the pool of suspects is as large as possible to lessen the probability of being the Hunter's target. The longer the Hunter stays anonymous, though, the less-appealing of a target s/he makes because of the increased likelihood of the wolf's going down too.

The Hunter, on the other hand, by simply staying alive as long as possible, only increases his/her chances that s/he will choose the right person, because the pool of possible suspects will grow smaller and smaller...provided we don't end the game toDAY, of course, in which case the Hunter's role is (happily) moot.

So, my advice is: unless the Hunter is absolutely sure of the wolf's identity and is looking to provoke a showdown, he or she should keep mum, at least for the next short while. As always, things change so fast that this advice may not hold; but it seems to me that for now the Hunter's best move is to keep quiet.
