IMO, this tipping thing is out of hand.. It's one thing to tip 15% when you go out to eat, but who ever came up with giving 10% or 15% of the cost of a guided hunt? So, you go on a moose hunt that costs $20,000 and the customary tip is $2,000 to $3,000? I've worked a lot of jobs (construction, delivery, retail, worked for the state, etc.) and I never got a tip and didn't expect one. Doing a job and doing it well is expected regardless of your line of work. Why should someone be tipped for doing a job they were hired to do? How about getting a 10% or 15% refund if a guide does a poor job? That would make more sense...
