All tipping is BS - the guide/cook/etc. are not my employees .
Pay the outfitter and he pays his people and expects them to do a good job .
When I built or remodeled a house for someone - why didn't the owners or owners to be tip every trade who participated - I wish they'd start then I could pocket more money for myself .
I would say to you the average guide isn't making a killing in wages. Add the fact that it is seasonal work for the most part. It is a personal choice to tip or not to tip. For me it is an easy choice specially when the guide has worked hard for me, Kill or no Kill.
I have tipped tradesmen too because they have done a great job for me.
