[QUOTE="LongestShot, post: 2943852, member: 101776"] I've hunted a few western states, Canada and Africa. Africa was actually easier as the gentleman who acted as the front for the African company told me what to give the guide, his assistant and housekeeping. It was the guide's assistant who made the trip for me; carried my rifle at times, helped me navigate through the shale hillside and insisted on carrying my backpack. He unfortunately was treated like garbage by the others, being black in Africa doesn't get you much respect. The guide got $200 a day(this was five years ago) and the assistant was supposed to get $20 a day, I gave him $50. When I got back to my room the last night he was waiting for me. He threw his arms around me and kept thanking me. As far as the US, (this was in the 80's) tips averaged between $100 a day for the bargain basement hunts to $200 a day for the more expensive ones. My Canada Moose hunt was your do it yourself hunt. They supplied the cabin and boat, you brought your own food and hunted on your own and took care of your game yourself. He was given a couple hundred at the end of the trip but didn't really contribute anything. I've always based it on what I felt they contributed. [/QUOTE]
