turkeyward,

I appreciate your comments on tipping and doing what you feel comfortable with. But tell me, what does the guide expect? I am sure every guide is a little different but there has to be a threshold you hear around camp away from clients. Do you ever hear anything like "I busted my butt and got him a big bull, packed it out and he gives me a sorry --%"??

I have always been curious as to what goes on behind the scene, what drives guides crazy about clients etc. I have never done a guided hunt, I have been lucky enough to be able to bust my own butt on DIY hunts and be successful. But, when I have just finished debonning an elk and am loaded to the gills I often think how nice a guided hunt would be.

Give us a little insiders look.
