Hunting | Buildings Banished Guide

Hunting Cabin is a place that you should build in the very beginning of the game - it doesn't require any preparation in terms of breeding animals, and the only requirement is in the availability of wild animals near the place where you plan to place the cabin.

A hunting cabin should be built in a very forested place.

It should be built in a forested place - deer tend to stay in the forest, avoiding open spaces. If there are no places like that available, you should make use of your foresters, who can plant trees on an area specified by the range of a forester lodge.

Hunters usually don't kill too many animals so their population doesn't drop. You should, however, build lodges so that their ranges don't overlap - it lets you manage supplies of venison sensibly. It's worth mentioning that hunters produce leather as well, it's used for production of coats so you should think early enough about giving work to hunters sensibly.
