We were all brought up the same & not just from my old man any older hunter we were invited along with to show the ropes always drilled into us no shooting near huts & gun unloaded on walking tracks frequented by trampers etc. I can say in all honesty neither l or anyone l have hunted with have ever shot near a hut in my 30+ years of hunting.
Plus it was only up to a few years ago before they really cracked down on it that it was not unusual to find private camps scattered through even the remotest areas,made from everything from loca timber to tarps & ground plastic sheets.So you never knew when you would come across someone ,down here there was infamous old Hippy hermit that lived in one of my hunting spots right in the middle of a good patch of trees.He would make buttons etc from cast antlers & sell them at the markets once a month,he lived there for 8 years that l know of.
