[QUOTE="Bob Milek, post: 2943948, member: 111516"] Typically, the guide gets a very small percentage of the price of the hunt. In your example of $10,000.00, I would guess the guide may get paid $200.00/day. Doesn't sound bad, except if he does a really good job and tags you out early, he may only get $200.00- not all outfitters pay the guide per hunt, often they are paid only by the day. While most of the outfitters provide vehicles, fuel during the hunt, meals, and a bed, the guide still provides his own pack, knives, binoculars, rangefinders, etc. So to suggest that the pay a guide receives should be adequate to make a living is not necessarily accurate. There is a wide variance between outfitters and how things are handled. [/QUOTE]
