If you lok, you will fid: There's an empty place

Whee the laws of the wld are cmpletely disgraced. 2



In th spring, in this and, the hunting dries out;

And y midsummer's day Hunter's nowhere abou. 4



In the fall, just 'fore dan, he again pokes aound

(Though it' soon that he finds that n hunting be foun). 1



In the wintr he thrives and ool hunting i good,

Though he hunts not in rairie, nor mountin, nor wood. 3



But, alas! on comes spring and he begins to feel umbrage

And again, through the ummer, hibernates in dar slumberage. 1

I think the answer is




Stars




Working off the same logic as Nudge Nudge above (upvote!), the five stanzas yield:

1




L(o)ok, Fi(n)d, Whe(r)e, W(i)ld, C(o)mpletely => Orion




2




th(e), (l)and, (b)y, abou(t) => Belt




3




da(w)n, a(r)ound, it'(s), n(o), foun(d) => Sword




4




wint(e)r, (c)ool, i(s), (p)rairie, mount(a)in => Space




5




(Y)on, (s)ummer, dar(k) => Sky




Then given the words, take the




Indicated letter of each word: O(r)ion, Bel(t), (S)word, Sp(a)ce, (S)ky and rearrange to form STARS, which is of course what Orion's Belt and Sword in Space/Sky are formed of

        The missing letters in each stanza appear to be anagrams:

        If you lo(o)k, you will fi(n)d: There's an empty place
        Whe(r)e the laws of the w(i)ld are c(o)mpletely disgraced.

        ONRIO -> ORION

        In th(e) spring, in this (l)and, the hunting dries out;
        And (b)y midsummer's day Hunter's nowhere abou(t). 4
