Just a quick note.. Tipping should always be in the world of "you give what you can!" I give the percentages only for a rough guideline. If you can offer someone something they truly want or need then that is much better! My first elk hunt I tipped $100.00 and a really great pair of optics and the guide had just busted his optics on the saddle horn while packing out my elk, so it was the perfect tip for him and for me!

Each and every situation is a personal choice!

BTW I am not an outfitter and not a booking agent! Just a full time writer and CEO of www.huntinglife.com and so far that pays very little!
