[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 224596, member: 2736"] Boss I have never hunted on a reservation so I don't know what type of tip your guides would expect but I would talk to the outfiter (In private) and ask him what would be approprate if a guide performed well (Tried). This would give you a bench mark to tip by, If the outfiter said $100.oo and your guide was outstanding then $200.oo to $300.oo might be approprate. And if he just strolled along and made no effort then he should'nt expect or deserve anything. One of the best guided hunts I have been on was for Elk and Mule Deer .Over half way through the hunt I found out that the Outfiter paid the guides a bonus for each animal killed but we were not allowed to know this.( I overheard two guides talking about how fair this was because some times the client's did'nt tip even if they killed something).This was a bow hunt and that is always harder for the guides to be successful . So after this young man worked his butt of trying to get me a 6x6 I told him that the last two days would be spent meat hunting but if a nice bull came in that it would even be better. Well he actually worked even harder trying to get my bull But it was not to be, so on the last day I shot a very large cow and a nice Muley 4x4. Bow hunting is very hard on the guides because they have to get you close with out being seen and then rely on the bow hunter to do his part. You must work as a team and listen to each other to be successful. So go with your heart when tipping, PS: I had such a good time he receved $250.oo from me and $200.oo from the outfiter Plus I gave him a Custom Knife I had made for just such a performance by a guide.
