However, the guide said he received a gracious letter from the guy thanking him for the hunt and about how much that hunt meant to him. He said it warmed his heart and put a tear in his eye because the letter was much more than any money he received from clients that had plenty of money to spend.
OK that being said it should not be based on what the outfitter charges for the hunt or what the tags cost. If you have a great experience tip what you feel is fair and if you have a lousy experience no tip. and somewhere in the middle for an in between experience. I would agree to that logic. As far as for that letter it sounds to me that guide is a pretty decent guy.
