Whats the best way to reach village status?
Got a group of 5 people together working on building up a town. We've got a decent farm that's cranking out wheat, grapes, flax, and turnips as well as a steady supply of silk and wood. However we seem to be lacking in leather in metals. What's the best way to go about obtaining the leather to get the metals to get the more leather to get the bare to make it into a sanctioned village?

Get a guy with a boat, 20MM, and some free time. Send him out hunting and he'll get the bears for you. If you want metal, find a cave and send your miner in there to find ore. Much more convenient for newbies than building a mine hole.

Rabbits. Find them.
By the way, you don't need leather or metal to become a village. Deer Antlers, Bear Teeth, and Lawspeaking are the most difficult parts of a village claim.
If you simply want to get the leather to get a mine hole and try to get ore/metal then catch rabbits and do as Teck said. Though it's my opinion to have more than just one person, or have the one have higher MM. Slings will make it go slightly faster, but you'll need 2 leather to start with (catch dem rabbits). Bows work better with higher MM, but will still work if it's low.

So what's 20mm, can a person with 20 ranged and a sling kill a deer, and what's the best environment for a cave as I have yet to see one?

They'll randomly spawn in forested areas. Do not engage a deer in combat if more then one is present. Also, MM = Marksman = ranged combat skill. Dunno if 20 is enough though.

One more question. What would be the best way of starting a fighter disassociated with the village?

20mm = 20 marksmen or "ranged" as you call it.
They can kill a deer, but it'll take some work as they tend to run when injured and then heal themselves. Contrary to what amat said, they do not attack as a herd.
Caves are randomly placed in cliff walls facing east and south, the bottom right and bottom left corners of your screen. Any cliffs not facing those directions will not have a cliff. The only caves you will find, unless you're lucky, will be most likely devoid of ore or anything of major value.

From my understanding they'll heal eachother though even if only fighting one.

The move they use heals themselves, but it heals nearby animals as well when used.

To kill a Deer at the beginning your best bet would be to build a decent bow ( if you ain't got any decent soil around use Bear or Boar Hides to make Strings )
and craft a few Bone Arrows with Bear Bones. You'll be able to one shot a Deer your only chance to kill a Deer at the beginning, without the adequate MM Stats.
