[QUOTE="257Tony, post: 2944303, member: 67337"] I've been guiding Mule deer and Elk hunts in Utah/Wyoming for 15 years, used to do 8-10 weeks per year, now I do 5-6. My 5 year average for tips is right at 15%. I've never guided a hunter that didn't tip at least something. The outfitter pays us a daily rate of $150, this generally covers my costs (gas, repairs on the side x side, etc). Tips are my my "profit". We provide our own pickups, side x sides, and a camp trailer to sleep in (clients stay in a lodge or mini cabins). Also provide our own gas to and from the hunt property, which is around 3.5 hours each way for me. About half my clients are repeats each year. Generally speaking, clients from the Midwest tip the best, especially farmers. Hope that helps someone... [/QUOTE]
