[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2946064, member: 71817"] I'm thinking that it depends on where you are hunting and for what species. Since becoming older and less mobile my guided hunts are with an outfitter that charges $2k for a 5-day hunt. I typically tip 10%. A little more if the guide really stands out. There is no provision for the cooks. The food just shows up at the lodge morning and evening and is very good. I found out that it's the guys wife and mom that does the cooking so if I see them on the way in or out I will give them something. I paid $11k for an Idaho elk hunt on horseback. lots more to consider where horses were concerned. the guide happened to be the outfitter himself so It was obvious that he was trying to get us to book again and was declining tips. That kind of hunt is different given the unreliability of consistently drawing an elk tag. [/QUOTE]
