Summary0003906: Hunter in Squad Does Not Hunt

Steps To Reproduce1. Get a hunter.
2. Assign it to a squad.
Additional InformationI have not attempted to reproduce it in other forts, but in the fort I have it's successfully repro'd three times.

They probably consider their quivers and bows military equipment, and not hunting equipment, when you assign them to the squad, even when off-duty. I'm pretty sure it's a known bug that military and civilian equipment can't be the same item even when off-duty.

Does this explain your behaviour?

That would explain it. They have enough bows that they could probably pick up another bow, but I guess they're not going to do that since I've specifically assigned them each a steel crossbow.
