While I was raised better than to ever hint at tipping to a client, or even think about doing so, I also have come to rely on at least some folks providing me with a gratuity as a young guide that in turn uses the money I make guiding to pay for school. I've found that because I try to give everybody I have the opportunity to hunt with 110% of my effort and albeit, small, skill set- things usually take care of themselves, and if I don't deserve a tip at the end of the day, that's fine and dandy too.
