RE: Tipping your guide ?
I know not all will agree but then again I'm not running for office,,
Guides know what they signed up for so I never let that "adjust" what I think is a fair tip. You and I do what ever it is we do and before we took the job or opened the business we had a pretty good idea of what was ahead.
So with that said I tip on how well the guide did the Job. A couple of the key items:
1) I take into consideration that he/she should show as much effort as I am willing to put forth not less
2) They show me the ability to relocate me if the situation warrents. Spending 11/2 to 2 days in the same location without seeing game
3) Take my desires of not having someone smoke in my face such as driving in the same truck and they are puffing away..like I have not spent any time trying to keep my gear scent free.
4) I'm not looking for miracles just a regular Joe who tries..this equalls a good trip
I think all trips start at $100 and go up from there.
