[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2946135, member: 313"] Here's another interesting angle, I met a rather wealthy guy in a New Brunswick bear camp. The guy traveled all over the country in pursuit of bears. Big or small, he just loved hunting bears. When asked, he was happy to show me pictures of his grizzlys, brown bears and even two polar bears. This guy was the real deal and had plenty of money to pursue his passion. When the subject of tipping came up, he said that the guy who was taking him out every day was the outfitter, not a guide. He told me the outfitter owns the business and that they don't get tipped. He said that ordinarily he is a generous tipper but in this case he would not be tipping anything. It wasn't a matter of money, but it was a matter of protocol. At the end of the week, and after he killed his bear, I asked him if he still felt that no tip was due. He replied that nothing had changed and that he would not be tipping because it wasn't called for. He said he would be happy to tip a guide but he never had one. [/QUOTE]
