Thread: Proposed new hut fee system.

These proposals get put forward because the people in charge feel they are good ideas. Look for them to at least partially happen.

My concern is how it affects the hunting community, as we use these places a bit different to the average, and when it comes to decision making, we are not often considered.

At worst case scenario, 57 bucks a night is an additional 350-400 dollars for a week in the mountains hunting per person.

The booking system is absolute crap for us. Most of the bookable huts now are booked out well in advance, meaning you have no option to consider the weather.

And even when I don't intend to use the hut, I do rely on it as being there in case of bad weather. Ive had really mixed results from hut wardens when Ive shown up too a hut because the weather on the tops has been shit and or there's a storm coming. Over half have been really good when I explain. but some have been prepared to read me the riot act, even when I say Im happy to sleep on the floor.

Trying to work out even 2 weeks in advance, what nights you will be in the hut, and what nights you will be out and away camping etc is near on impossible if you are making the best of a trip.
