ROFLMAO @ hillbillyhunter, I see I'm not the only person who thought that exact same sentiment. Truth be known, the ENTIRE country should have to work for about half their usual income and then be dependent upon tips to make up the difference. Some attitudes would change, those more deserving and hardworking might make closer too what they are worth and the rest "the free riders" would end up on skid row.

I don't know of to many guides that are paid very well (from their simple daily income by the outfitter they work for). Most are paid $50-$100 a day and depend on tips for making the job worth it for them. I know I would NOT bust my azz for some un-appreciative slob to make me do all the work and then in the end stiff me for the sweat and worn bootleather.

Like I said, when you deal with quality/first rate outfitters you will QUICKLY know whether you took care of business properly by the fact that you either did or did NOT get invited back or shown an special courtesy!
