Default RE: SHOULD THE HUNTER TIP A GUIDE?

As I stated on my original post,I understand your outlook on this.But wishing some thing were different doesn't make it so.Anyone who is in business gives their best efforts and service to those that provide them with the greatest financial rewards.Thats how they survive and thrive.I certainly hope that courtesy and decency and sincerity still matter.If you have a not so great trip and don't intend to go back then don't tip.
If you are going back to the outfitter where you shot that beautiful buck we have seen so much of,you may want to consider tipping.
It really comes down to supply and demand,If an outfitter can book solid year after year with repeat hunters who are generous,why would they need or want to book again with a non tipper?There are so many othe relements that should be taken in to consideration,did you have a good attitude,did you pitch in with chores or other things to help out,that may be enough for the outfitter to recognize your a decent guy.But if you came in to camp wreaking of money with either your stories or the equipment you have and they work their butt off to give you a great hunt and then you don't tip,how do you think they will feel about your coming back?This is all really logical stuff.
Good luck to you! I hope where ever you go you have a great hunt!
