[QUOTE="GA Sheephunter, post: 1481248, member: 102497"] I just got back from a hunt in Canada and killed a dall sheep and a caribou. I talked to hunters who left camp the week before I did who killed the exact same thing, and he said the outfitter told him $2,000 USD was a great tip for the guide. I talked to another hunter in camp at the same time I was there, who was also going for a dall and a caribou, and he said the outfitter told him a good tip is $100/day. Having heard all of that, and after feeling like my guide gave 110% at all times, I tipped my guide $3,000 USD. I discretely handed him a roll of 100s at dinner after we got back to base camp and told him this is for you, thank you. He came up to me later after he had counted and asked if I was sure, said that it was alot of money.....could he give me some back to tip the supercub pilot. I told him No, that is for you....how much should I give the supercub pilot. He said $200 would be nice....so I gave the pilot $300. I asked him if I should tip anyone else, the kitchen, etc....he said no, just the pilot. Horseback hunters might have a wrangler, moose hunters might also have a packer. I hope to hunt with my same guide one day, but if not.....I wanted him to feel valued and wanted to send a message. He had made my dreams come true. [/QUOTE]
