Is hunting bugged?

[Flickmann]

My hunters walk to the animals and then immediately turn around to the hunting hut and stand around doing nothing. Is this normal? They might pull an animal back one in every 15 trips.

Yeah this is normal(at least im 99% sure), each action has a timer, thats the standing about, at the end it seems to be a roll if the hunt with a success, then they either go home victorious/defeated/dead/wounded with or without a catch.

Best way to look at it is, the animal noticed them and ran off for a while.

The bit i feel is a bug in hunting is when wounded they will continue to butcher the animal they caught and bleed out at the table ha.

Yup watch them for awhile--they go stalk an animal, and like 95% of the time, scare it off. The other time they get a kill and drag the carcass back to butcher it.

Yeah, bleeding is punishing--I have Physicians but they can NOT stop bleeding. You need to have a Hospital to stop bleeding, so they just butcher while they bleed! ;-p

It DOES seem like a hunter can wipe an area out of possible animals to hunt. So I will stop hunting there for awhile and let the animals re-pop before they are all gone.

Good news is if you hunt a spot dry new ones will spawn in every year, the bit i dont know is if they multiply faster if you leave some alive there, or if its just X spawn in every year upto a cap.
