No, Jacques Cartier was not a "runner of the woods" (or "coureur des bois"). He was a French explorer known for his voyages to Canada in the 16th century, where he played a significant role in the exploration and mapping of the St. Lawrence River and the surrounding areas. The coureurs des bois were independent French traders and adventurers who ventured into the wilderness, often engaging in the fur trade with Indigenous peoples, a role that Cartier did not fulfill.
