My father and I both got skunked on a whitetail hunt last year in Canada. We stilled tipped him $150 because he did everything he could to get us a trophy. It's still hunting! Now, don't confuse a whitetail hunt with humping the mountains out West. We also tipped his wife $50 or $100 for all of the cooking that she did. I would however stiff a guide that didn't put in the effort or truly had no idea what he was doing.
