It is much more gratifying to me to get a warm heart-felt handshake and the promise to come hunt with me again.(priceless) I have worked my a-s off and received zero, I have been on easy hunts and received up to $1300.00 tip! It all depends on the hunter and how it all goes. An average I receive is around 10-15% of hunt cost.
