Well said! Your right there always seem to be that hanging over your head during the week...how much should I tip?
Check this out..do the math >>> I hunted in Alberta in the early 90's and they where getting $3200 per person x 8 men x 3 weeks Thats $76,800 for 3 weeks!
NOT including his bear hunts (always booked)
Moose hunts (always booked)
Not exactly sure but I think we figured something like 240K gross for his hunting seasons in the early 90's! - less then 3 months of actual work time not bad...He paid a indian woman to cook for everyone..sure he paid her well (haha)
Your right outfitters should take care of his guides..they can make him or break him...pay them well your making it.
Maybe they need a UNION?
