If you didn't already know that the first response would be, "Kill her children," then you haven't spent enough time with the DF community.

Actually, I was going to actually fail while attempting to help.

ANYWAY::::::::::________________

Is she doing anything right now?

When was her most recent child born?

Do you have bolts assigned?

It isn't the babies that are preventing her from hunting.  Dwarven mothers do not show any reluctance whatsoever to drag their children along with them on the most dangerous jobs.

Since dwarves don't seem to show any general preference or need for meat vs plant matter or fish (though some do have certain meats listed as a preferred food), future workers are a greater priority than the acquisition of meat products if you want to look at it from a purely logistical standpoint.

However, the idea of a dwarven mother with her noisy children in tow trying to stalk dangerous beasts in the wild is something I approve of. Perhaps she can train them to flush animals out of the bushes or corner them like a hunting dog would.
