oldtimer I do not really disagree with you but if guide was poor (and I'M not talking about wether or not you kill an animal, I'M speaking of how hard he tried) he deserves a tip that reflects how you feel. if you feel he was worthless then tip should be zero and never use them again. truth is, anyone who is willing to pay 10 grand for an elk hunt ought to be able to part with a grand or more for a tip. and if you are really, really happy with his service , give the sumbeech the best christmas he ever had.
I , personally,would never go on a guided trip anyhow as I am a cheap bastid and I would rather do it myself or not at all.
