[QUOTE="fordy, post: 2945668, member: 120504"] Gday A interesting thread & responses that from a aussie I really don’t understand the tip system as we don’t have one My personal belief is one should incorporate it in the price or @least be upfront on what’s expected as to me that @ the end or during the trip would basically sour the whole thing Ive hunted in PNG , various Africa countries New Zealand , Canada & of course aussie & never tipped money but before I ever embarked on the trip I would find out as much as I could about the people I was to hunt with & take gifts from my area to give as my appreciation of being able to have the privilege to hunt in their neck of the woods ( I still live by my nanas words of it’s not the Value of these gifts its the thought behind it ) from bouncy balls for kids to custom made spotlights that were around a months wage for me & been well received I think 🤞but I’m not one to expect my guide to do all the work or skinners as I always helped to cape or cook , wash dishes gather firewood you name it if I could help I would & still do today when I get the chance to hunt This to me was just common sense as helps keep the guide fresh as possible & that allowed more time to get out & keep looking for which I’ve been extremely blessed to share those times with incredible people & life long friendships made & some even considered family now The critter to me is secondary especially the older I get but you have to have a sustainable industry & what I’m seeing is a division of rich & poor & so much is placed on the score not the journey Jm2cw Cheers [/QUOTE]
