so 400 bucks on a 4000 hunt? I think 400 on a 4000 hunt would be fair/fine if you liked your guide/ did a good job, got you an animal.......I hate feeling like I have to tip a guide when I'm not impressed, and not even impressed, more like up to the standard that a guide should be.

So ya 10% sounds good I think if you had a good guide, worked hard, put you in/on game, also if you get a shot.

To me a shot opportunity/miss is the same as taking an animal, all I want is a chance to shoot an animal, then I can blame myself for the miss, my elk hunt I didnt get a shot, which pretty much upset me, also my guide I wasn't too impressed with, kinda felt like the outfitter found him late to guide me...not one of his regulars.....though it is bowhunting but still. I gave the guide about 5% tip, had he done better Id of had no problem giving 10%, and had I shot a big boy, even 15% id have no probelms with.

Anyone else feel the need to stiff a guide? ever? I guess my guide wasnt horrible, just couldve been better IMO.
