I have been a guide and now outfitter in the whitetail industry, typically our tip are 50-100$ a day ranging more if the guy kills an awesome buck over 150. Guides by some outfitters are really done dirty as the outfitter lied his tail off to get a guide out there was told we would eat free at the lodge, have our gas be paid, we were paid 120 a day only when we had hunters. Then he would play musical hunters when one of his part owner guided had somebody tag out so they would get the tip. Not only did those guys get the tips they were alotted the only property worth putting a hunter on. Funny thing is people keep going back to this guy, how I dont know. Oh ya th first thng he would ask in orientation is whether or not you were going to rebook for the next season or not. If you said yes you hunted good property. if you said IDK or no you hunted on doe kill properties where no decent bucks have ever been seen. Thats why I start my own outfit.
