Make a gem stockpile somewhere and the dwarves will haul any gems to it.

I don't use hunters so cant help you there, sorry.

For hunting, they have to have a ranged weapon, a quiver to hold bolts, bolts, ammunition (bolts) assigned to "Hunters" in the military screen, and you have to select the hunting labor.

Also, dwarves seem to have a problem collecting bolts from bins, so set your ammo stock pile to not allow any bins.

thanks, how do stockpiles work exactly, I've tried using them, but i couldn't figure out how to use them

[Lord Darkstar]

select (p).

Select the kind of stockpile you want to create. w = wood, r = refuse, f = food.

Decide where you want a corner of the stockpile. hit enter.

Decide where you want the opposite corner of the stockpile. hit enter.

A rectangle of "=" will be drawn. That's your new stockpile of the type you selected.

There's more advanced things you can do with stock piles. I suggest checking the Dwarf Fortress Wiki which Existent was kind enough to post the URL.
