How can you tell if a guide is alive? You can hear them bitching about money.
This applies to both fishing and hunting guides, as I know a few.
I recommend tipping heavily, and not paying attention to the whining.
What a dumbass blanket statement. I guarantee if you came and hunted with me, I would not be the one whining.
Tanner
You would after you saw the tip!
Some of the thinnest skin is apparently also found on guides.
I know Tanner and I know he wouldn't bitch about anything either. If you were an a$$hole, he would just literally walk the desire to hunt right out of you. You would literally have to tip him to stop...
Couldn't agree more....
I'm pretty sure there's more than a couple folks here that've hunted with Tanner..... hell, been guided by Tanner..... absolutely free, through the kindness of a damn good kid.... who also happens to be a very talented hunter. He ain't in it for the money..... or the Instagram Fame.... he's in it cause he like to help folks shoot cool schitt.
Maybe..... instead of a tip..... you could show up for the hunt in shape.... with quality field proven gear.... a rifle you can shoot.... a willingness to put in some work.... and some reasonable expectations. I'm sure 90% of "guides" would far prefer that to the "10% industry standard".
