Many hunters come to us and ask how much they should tip. It is a very personal issue and we believe it should be for a job well done. I think that Jim Shockey covers this topic very well in the article below. 

THE TRUTH ABOUT TIPPING
By Jim Shockey
Tipping is one of the least understood aspects of a guided hunt. What follows is only a guideline to help the hunter better understand the tipping process. Not everyone tips and definitely not everyone tips well. There is no requirement to tip; it’s a gesture that expresses appreciation for the guide or packers’ efforts. 

• It is customary for a client to tip not only the guide but also anyone else directly helping to make the hunt a success. e.g. the cook, packer/wrangler. 

• The tip should be forthcoming whether or not any animals were taken. Provided the guide did his best to find said animals. It isn’t the guides fault if the hunting was slow or there were no animals around. 

• Money is nearly always better than giving equipment for a tip. Guides don’t get rich guiding and usually rely on their tips to help make it through the off-season. The exception is where the guide actually wants the equipment and/or where the dollar value of the equipment is at least double the standard monetary tip. 

• Assuming the hunter is happy with the guide’s effort the average tip should be between 5 and 10 percent of the value of the hunt. Generally speaking, the more expensive the hunt, the closer the tip should be to 5 percent. Expensive being over $10,000. For hunts valued at under $10K the closer the tip should be to 10 percent of the value. 

• Average camp cook and packer tips are $50 to $100 per hunter. In other words, if five buddies share a camp, each hunter should tip the camp cook this amount. 

• Contrary to what some hunters believe, if the outfitter actually gets out there and guides the hunter, then the outfitter should definitely be tipped. If the outfitter does not guide the hunter, a tip is not customary. 

• If you tip higher than customary, the guide will take that to mean you are thrilled with his or her performance. If you tip lower than is customary, your guide will take that to mean you were unhappy with their performance. 

• If in fact you were happy with the guide but prefer to leave a substandard tip, it is common courtesy to explain to the guide that they did a great job but either you can’t afford it or simply don’t wish to give them a higher tip.
