I seem to have a bug in Hetepsenusret where my Hunting Lodges, the hunters walk over to the birds, turn around, and just walk back. They don't do a thing. This is especially bad considering the requests I keep getting for Game Meat.

Is there some way I have to place the lodges to get them to not bug out like this?

Can the hunters actually get to the birds ? If they can't reach them, they won't do anything. Are you sure they aren't actually doing anything ? It may be that they are walking too far and the game is telling them to turn around and go back.

Aye, they are walking to the birds -- directly under them, but then turning around immediately without throwing their nets.

So, just to clarify, the hunters go to the birds, then just turn around ? I wonder if they are picking up other birds that have been killed and taking them back instead. Screenshots would be very helpful :)

Yup, they walk there, turn around, and walk back. In the info windows for the hunting lodges, they never receive any game meat, and likewise, none ever appears in my granaries.

Here is a screen shot of.. the hunters doing nothing (not quite sure what good a screen shot would do here?).

Just for testing purposes can you put a hunting lodge near the spawn area and see if the problem still persists?

Went along that thought process, and tried placing hunting lodges in different locations on the map. On the central land, they hunt the birds, but when placed on the far right bank, they just walk over there. Guess they don't like taking the ferry, and then crossing a bridge.

Case in point, in the screen shot, the hunting lodges on the left bank DO capture the birds. The ones on the right bank do not. And yes, everything building fully employed on both banks.

Guess it's just a weird glitch

Someone need to correct if I am wrong as I haven't played Pharaoh for a while but I believe hunters can't carry dead birds on the ferry so you need to have hunting lodges on the same side of the ferry then they can transfer game meat using ferry.

I believe you are correct, hunters can't cross ferries with their catch, so do as has been suggested: get all the game on the main island, then cart it over via ferry like that. :)

I have the same issue on a different level. I have hunting lodges all over the map, including ones right next to spawns. The hunters ignore these closer spawns and go to one on the other side of the map, then turn around and walk back empty handed. They don't have any river crossings to make.

In future, don't bump ancient discussions: it is better if you make your own thread and reference this one. Bumping dead discussions is never helpful.

Have you tried just penning in the herd they keep going towards with statues and/or walls?

I'm having the same issue as well. This is NOT due to a ferry as I don't have a ferry at all. The hunters go to the game to be hunted (in this level, ostriches), and just turn around. Employment is good. They were fine for a while, but then stopped working.
Searching online pointed me here. Sorry it's the same thread.. Thanks
