Postby Bowjoe » Thu Jan 10, 2013 8:02 pm

Whats a average tip for a guide on a half day goose hunt?? Good or bad day not the guides fault but bad birds dont matter if he is a decent guide whats your thought ??

Fishing guides I know expect 15-20% of your cost for the day, same as any service worker. Figures it'd be the same for hunting.

I guess I am ignorant when it comes to these things. I've never really paid for a guide, but I really didn't think a tip was expected from them. I figured a tip would be something extra that you may get if your clients were happy. What does say about you if you expect a tip? Might as well include it in your price if you expect it.
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven." Such is the rule of honor.

If it was an awesome hunt, they'd get 20+%. If it wasn't their fault but they tried damn hard, 15-20. If they didn't try or made things bad, none.

If its the owner of the operation usually zero, unless they work exceptionally hard.

If its the guides employee, then 15-25% depending on the effort put forth.

Now we've arrived.

It's not uncommon to see repeat posts but, from the same guy just 3 months later? :o

Noshit? I figured it was something we discussed on TOS. Ha ha. Was I at least consistent with my previous answer??
