[QUOTE="JTH, post: 2943331, member: 59647"] Comparing the tip you give at a coffee shop to a tip you give a guide is like comparing apples and pickup trucks. There's no comparison. A guide that uses his local knowledge and busts his tail for you over multiple days in an effort to help you realize a goal or put the crowning touch on your dream hunt is priceless,whether you punch a tag or not. I don't think twice about a 10% tip. They're doing this work seasonally, for relatively low pay because they love being outdoors. They need to "make hay while the sun shines". Most good outfitters give suggested guidelines on tipping on their websites or brochures, so it shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody. Stiffing a guide that worked hard for you is a classless act in my book. [/QUOTE]
