Also having the same issue on Mac version. A number of hunters are in equipment loops, collecting and returning ammo, not hunting and needing to toggle hunting on/off to get a different - not always correct - behaviour.

Definitely related to 0001451, if not an outright duplicate

I managed to reproduce it in a fresh fort.

I have seen the same behavior in 44.11 with woodcutters in a squad. When the squad went off duty, the militia commander of the squad, who was also a woodcutter, got stuck in a loop of putting away/picking up his equipment. He got unstuck once I disabled his wood cutting labor. He was the only one in his squad who had this problem, despite there being another woodcutter in the same squad.

I know that I did not have many spare battle axes in supply, so I wonder if that perhaps confused or threw off his pickup equipment task. Since woodcutting is its own "uniform", maybe there was not enough equipment to satisfy both his military uniform and his woodcutting uniform, and this caused the task to not complete properly.

I have seen a variant of this in 47.04. This time it was a wood cutter in an active squad. He was stuck in a loop of putting away equipment. In this case, he was running in between a crafts stockpile and a weapon stockpile, picking up/putting away a battle axe and a rock scepter craft. He got unstuck when I removed him from the squad. This is the first time I've seen this bug with an item that was not a weapon or armor.
