[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1465524, member: 313"] Tipping seems to vary widely but 10% to the "guide" does come up a lot. I have been in camps with hunters who didn't believe in tipping and felt no obligation to pay more than the actual cost(s) of the hunt. I hunted in a bear camp with a wealthy businessman who had hunted all over the world. When I asked him how much he intended to tip, he said that his guide was the outfitter himself and therefore didn't get tipped. He tipped ZERO. I've seen guys give $100 tips on a $5,000 hunt and thought I was crazy for offering 10%. Personally, I'll tip 10% even when the service or hunt sucks because I feel obligated to, same as I feel when dining in a restaurant. Sadly, this only encourages lousy service. Here's a question - how much do you tip when hunting in a high fence enclosure? The "guide" doesn't really do anything but expects a nice tip. I've shot several fat hogs for the meat in these places in the east. I give that "guide" the tip too but it isn't "earned". [/QUOTE]
