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

This is very close +1! The end result is correct, but the last stanza has three letters (and relates to the subject matter better than Stack Exchange). Check my grammar, is anything amiss?
