Why don't hunters use arrows?

One of my hunters in the middle of loads of deer has complained for years they’re not catching anything. They keep “checking traps”. Well the deer are wandering in plain sight so why doesn’t the hunter stock up on some bows and arrows, of which the village has loads, and kill the ones they can see?

Check the building menu and lower the amount of traps.

Once you upgrade it to T2, thats how the hunter works pretty much 100% of time.
That mechanic so far is too expensive to keep for the cost of 2 iron lingots per trap (that when used, the iron gets wasted and need to be replaced) and because it takes a long time for an animal to be trapped. Eventually, you run out of food or your production drops considerably.
I might work, specially for those whom iron is not a problem. But i think it needs improvements from devs team. Right now, staying in T1 is the best option…

Disable the traps. They don’t work well.

Someone else explained the problem in detail, but it comes down to:
T2 has less meat storage ==> more walking ==> if too far away from food storage he goes for another trap ==> never will hunt ever again becaus trap beats hunting
