My dwarf bob (names have been falsified to protect identities) has been running around with his crossbow attempting to slaughter beasts in the land.  Recently he took fondness of deer meat.  He shot the deer accurately 8 times tearing tendons and breaking bones in all 4 limbs of the deer.  The middle spine broke and a kidney was eviscerated.  My hunter ran out of ammunition and ran off to get some more.  The deer managed to make the 20 steps to the edge of the map to retreat... WITHOUT ANY LEGS!

This is a little silly isn't it?  XD

Well come to DF, where common sense is even less common then RL.

Try using your military to hunt, actually.  Send your army after deer and whatnot.  That way you can control them better, and they get experience in fighting!

The only reason I had hunters to begin with was because I wanted to let my Proficient Teacher get high in Archer/Marksdwarf so he could teach other dwarves.  When I made him military commander and put him in charge of a squad he decided not to give a toss about teaching, however and let the non-teachers organise useless demonstrations instead XD

My entire death squad of elite marksdwarves were all useless dwarfs I asigned hunting. An IG year later I check up on them and see if I can draft them up.

My hunters like to turn all the warthogs into prickly bushes, then when they run out of ammo, they fall asleep on the spot. Meanwhile the poor hog is dragging itself a long slwoly, puking, fainting, untill it's nearly at the edge. Then the hunter comes back with more ammo.

Train cheetahs, as hunting animals(dogs). They will pig out on the hog
