Boars in DE take only 1 arrow to become aggro, so as soon as your villager shots, run back to the TC, garrison and attack with the villagers that are still working on the sheep.
You can also try to weaken the boar with the TC by garrison the vills that are still at the TC instead but this is risky as the boar looses all of its food if it's killed by military.

T-West made a video about the TC attack thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpQQrn0ZOd8

About deer... it's a bit tricky as you have to ensure that your scout is behind the deer at all times + pushes it to the TC. Two villagers are enough to kill the deer. For deer pushing + killing, I can recommend playing Arena as the start is more calm there so you can practice that skill :)

Mia you pass throw the tutorial? the tutorial - the art of war - was made just to the players training things like this , that strategics is the beggining way of all pro players.
About colect animals , when is dears or animals that only runaway i normaly do 2 teams of 3 citzens and send the atack on 1 dear each team , normaly even in the beggan on the game this 3 citzen would collect all the animal in one travel , now when is boars or elefants i atract it if one citzen throw the towncenter and when it is run after the citzen that is going to the towncenter i send more 5 citzens to atack it to take it down , how the tutorial teachs.

You have to garrison villagers into your TC before it'll shoot arrows. And you have to be careful not to completely kill the boar with the TC. What they do is take down maybe 75-80% of the boar HP with the town center, then ungarrison the villagers, and shoot it for the remaining 20-25%. If your town center deals the kill shot that takes down the boar, you won't be able to harvest it. That also applies to deer, sheep, and turkeys, etc.

Thanks for the video and the explanations.To me, however, it looks like many players use a macro for this. Would such a thing be allowed? I think daut is one of the only "pro players" who kill their wild boars without tc

No it doesn't require a macro, just hotkeys and fast clicking. I use a macro assigned to one of my mouse buttons for use at the start of every game. Basically what it does, is queues up the town center with 4 vills, assigns the scout to group 1, and the TC to group 2 and gets the first villager ready to throw down a house. It maybe gives me a maximum of 2 second head start (if that) over others, so yea, call me lazy 11.
