Its not the outfitters responsiblilty to tip the guide for the hunter. Sometimes the outfitter will split up a tip that he gets to the guides. I'm glad my business is a family one with no outside help it keeps things flowing smoothly.

CHEROKEE I HAVE TO AGREE ITS NOT THE OUTFITTERS JOB TO TIP THE GUIDE BUT I WOULD HAVE TO ASK YOU AS AN OUTFITTER WHY YOU WOULD ONLY PAY A GOOD GUIDE $4.50 AN HR? I ASSUME BECAUSE THAT LOW OF A WAGE ALLOWS YOU THE OUTFITTER TO NET MORE PROFIT ... I ALSO AGREE THAT IF THE GUIDE IS EXCEPTIOANL IN WHAT HE DOES THEN HE DESERVES A"REASONABLE" TIP IF I SHOOT AND WOUND AND ANIMAL AND WE HAVE TO TRACK IT THROUGH THE BUSH SEVERAL 100 YARDS OR IFDEER MOVEMENT IS EXTREAMLY SLOW AND BECAUSE OF HIS PRE SCOUTING HE MOVES HIS CLIENT INTO AN AREA THAT NETS A SHOOTER ...BUT I HONESTLYTHINK THE OUTFITTER IS ASKING TO MUCH TO EXPECT A TIP FOR THE COOK WHEN MOST OUTFITTERS I HAVE DELT WITH MAKE GREAT HOME COOKED MEALS ASPART OF THEIR PITCH WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO SELL YOU A HUNT ...SO ONCE IVE COMMITED TO BUY THE HUNT I HAVE TO THINK IVE BOUGHT THE GOOD COOKING AND THE GOOD HUNTING ...IM NOT TRYING TO SPLIT HAIRS HERE ... I PERSONALLY WOULDPREFER THE OUTFITTER TO CHARGE ME $500.00 MORE FOR THE HUNT SO HE CAN PAY HIS GUIDEAND COOK WHAT THERE WORTHTHEN TO"EXPECT" ME TO TIP FOR GOOD SERVICE WHEN AFTER WHAT MOST YOU GUYS CHARGE FOR THESE HUNTS ( MOST ARE WORTH IT ) THAT A HUNTER SHOULD EXPECT GOOD SERVICE ... AND I MAY BE WRONG ..BUT IT JUST RUBS ME WRONG ...ITS OK FOR A OUTFITTER TO PAY A GUIDE $4.50 AND HR AND TAKE ADVATAGE OF THE GUIDE BUT ITS NOT OK FOR A HUNTER TO EXPECT GOOD SERVICE WITHOUT A TIP ON A $3500 TO $5500 WT DEER HUNT .. THATS THE POINT I AM WANTING TO DISCUSS .. LIKE I SAID MAYBE I AM WRONG ..IF SO I AM MAN ENOUGH TO ADMIT IT ..THATS WHY I HAVE POSTED THIS QUESTION
