Default Tipping the outfitter?

I am going on my first archery outfitted hunt in SW Montana for Elk in a couple of weeks. Since this is my first exposure to a fully outfitted hunt, I am clueless as to how much I should tip the outfitter, assuming his services were adequate. Any suggestions?

Tip the guide,unless otherwise told diffrent.10% should be suficent.Also ask the other hunters in the group before tipping so you don' t look cheap or otherwise.

Keep in mind, and consider when tipping, that the guides job is to show you animals within the range of your selected weapon. He can' t shoot em for ya' . If he puts ya on it and you miss or pass...he' s done his job.
