Yep, I'm with you on that. If I'm hunting, I fully intend on hunting. That means working hard to kill and animal and pitching in to get the job done. I've been priviledged to drop off in the middle of no-where with a single guide and a pile of gear. It takes both men full-time to hunt and live for 2 weeks.
My point, I guess, is that as Hatari says, is to not over think it. Be fair and be willing to pay, but don't go broke over it either. If you can afford more, fine. But, for guys that save for 2 and 3 years at a time like me, I'm not going to sacrifice the price of a kudu over it either. I'd sure rather see my dad grinning over another critter than lay out an extra $500 to $1000, when, all other things being equal, I'm working hard and giving a guide a fair tip.
