[[{{Q|Hunt|Image}}|left]] '''Hunt''' is an [[order]] used to mark wild [[animals]] to be automatically hunted and killed by [[Work#Hunt|hunters]]. Once a hunter's target is [[downed]], they will finish it off at point-blank range by cutting its throat. If a properly configured [[stockpile zone]] is present and has room, the hunter will then haul the [[corpse]] back before resuming hunting. These corpses can then be butchered by [[Work#Cook|cooks]] to yield [[meat]] and [[leather]], with type and quantity of both depending on the animal hunted.

Animals can be marked for hunting in the [[Work#Wildlife|Wildlife]] menu. Multiple animals can be selected clicking and dragging the mouse down the "Mark animals for Hunting" column. This tab also shows the revenge chance for each animal and has a special icon for [[Animals#Predation|predators]]. All wild animals on the current map are shown there. If an animal is injured or [[downed]], it will be highlighted as such. Such animals may be 'finished off' for easy meat.

Hunters only hunt when equipped with a [[Weapons#Ranged Weapons|ranged weapon]], when their Hunting task is active in the [[Work]] menu, and when all other jobs of a higher priority are finished.

Some animals have a chance to "revenge" when harmed, that is turn [[manhunter]] and attack any nearby [[human]]s. Each time an animal is injured, a check whether the animal will turn manhunter is performed. When an animal turns manhunter there is a chance that any nearby animal of the same species will also turn manhunter. When marking an animal for hunting with a chance to turn manhunter, a warning will be displayed. 

Hunters are coded to shoot marked animals from a maximum distance to minimize the risk of injury should the target turn [[Mental break#Manhunter|manhunter]]. However, animals will flee from nearby gunshots and may inadvertently move closer to the hunter. Weapons with a long range and high damage per shot are the safest for hunting weapons, such as the [[greatbow]] and [[bolt-action rifle]], while short-range weapons, low damage weapons and weapons that predominantly get their {{DPS}} from low-damage but high rates of fire, such as the [[machine pistol]] are poor choices. {{Check Tag|Fact check|Doesn't distance directly decrease manhunter chance}} The [[hunting stealth]] of the hunter directly scales the chance of manhunting.<noinclude>
