brademan76 Report post Posted May 22, 2021 Depending on outfit, tipping 10-15% of package price. 50-75% of that amount to guide, rest to cooks, cleaners, etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
longshooter Report post Posted May 22, 2021 I usually tip guides 10-15% min. of the guide fees plus tip any drivers 250-500 plus tip cooks any where from 500-1000 pending on the amount of cooks and the length of the hunt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HuntHarder Report post Posted May 22, 2021 I tip based on their service. I know most people just expect to get tipped, but sometimes they do not deserve it. If the guide met my expectations, he usually gets 10%-15%. If he exceeded it, I will bump it up to 20%. If he sucked, he gets nothing but advice on how to do better next time, with someone else, not me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildwoody Report post Posted May 22, 2021 What you feel comfortable with, I hate when its expected I cook all the time and a 10 day hunt comes with a steak and lobster and crab leg dinner. I expect nothing, but normally do real good $ and give it to the guide who normally makes $7.50 an hr if you add up all his time and gas. Enjoy the hunt first and foremost , 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildwoody Report post Posted May 23, 2021 Most hunters don't believe they should tip after the guide service cost. Or don't even know there supposed to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
