Question

How do the hunters damage the wall

Answer 1

The hunters in their attempt to impress their dogs and find out the rabbits had piled stones of the wall, one on top of another.

In the process they made gaps in the wall.

The gaps were enough to balance the foundation of the wall, and make the purpose of the wall doubtful.

That’s why the poet writes about damages to the wall by hunters.

Answer 2

Answer:

According to the poet, it seems that hunters come by the wall during the winter and remove stones in order to flush rabbits out of their hiding places within the wall. By tearing down sections of the wall, the hunters destroy the rabbits' hiding places, thus allowing their dogs to chase them more easily.
