Summary0008674: Hunters not completing hunt
DescriptionOk this is the issue when hunters hunt and they run our of ammo while hunting they cancel the hunt even when the animal dies. I know its not important but still. What you should add to fix this would be for hunter to have a second weapon like a sword to finish off its hunt, or you could make the hunter, when it runs out of ammo, wait a little bit before it cancels its hunt. This is not a problem unless you live somewhere like in the Arctic with no plant/water to get your food.

The behavior you described is intentional for now -- the proposed solutions read like feature requests.

Meanwhile, if you want the corpse to get butchered, setting up a refuse stockpile and enabling the [o]rder for "Dwarves gather refuse from outside" should do it.
