Personally i did the hunt once and got the kill. To me it wasnt a hard minigame so i think you got a bug. To me i personally find the hunt boring and redundant with the garden. With 1 slave working it you never have to get food again and with the greenhouse you get surplus and that is with just 1 slave. Just make sure you eat every 3 days like whe your satiety is at 10 since the food fills you up to 100 every time anyway.i normally get 8 to 13 but the deer always runs off
Maybe a suggestion to have your slaves eat the food as well or have to option to give your slaves food or not to make them more submissive and have the slaves die when they dont get any food at all after a certain time. That way you have to keep your eye on the slaves you want to starve for a bit to increase submission without actually training them. Of course at the same time their relationship would drop with you by x2 or something each time to balance it out.
