Was the hut you stayed in private or was it a backcountry hut anyone could use? Do you do much backpack hunting there?

Thanks for your comments. The hut was public and anyone can use, there are hundreds of similar huts on public land that are available to all - usually for a small fee. Yes I do a lot of backpack hunting, both in tents and huts. Most of my hunts I walk in with a pack but a few times a year take a helicopter to get to remote areas. For example to walk to the tahr rut location would take about 20+hrs of hard walking to get to.
