As far as I know most of the huts are in national parks at the current time so I've never met some one on a hunt during my stay.
I had the opportunity a couple of weeks ago to stay in a remote area of Rogers Pass and join some fellow ACC members while skiing. Two of the four were parks workers and three of the four were hunters. There was a lot of wild game consumed that evening. I wish I had known more about the new hut going in the Castle area at the time because one of the members was involved in some part with how changes were happening under the current government.
