Peter Haining's The Vampire Hunters' Casebook (Warners, 1996) might be worth considering. Ramsey Campbell's similarly themed and painfully informed The Dead Must Die - sadly, not included - most certainly is. Have not yet snagged a copy of Andrew McCoy's Atrocity Week but feel confident it belongs.

Jack Vance's The Dirdir (from the Planet of Adventure series) might fit--it includes Dirdir hunting humans and one human who turns the tables. I don't think this one has been mentioned yet - "His Coat So Gay" by Sterling E Lanier (originally published in "The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction", July 1070). It's one of his "Brigadier Ffellowes" series of club stories, which I'd love to see to reprinted in a nice single collection. You and me both; I love those stories. “His Only Safari,” from the same series, might fit as well. You'd think All Heads Turn When the Hunt Goes By has a hunting scene it it, but I can't remember it. I had that thought, too, though I don't remember much of the book except the title and the wedding scene at the beginning.

I remember that and a little bit more---something about people being in a jungle somewhere, possibly by a river! Between us I think we should be able to piece the whole thing together eventually.
