I tip my hat as I walk on past.
We had one guide that worked for us that complained he didn't get a tip. After explaining in no uncertain terms "tips were discretionary and should not be expected" we no longer employ that guide.
Now what is expected is a good attitude and a certain amount of effort by the hunter, regardless of what they are paying. We will work hard during the hunt, but that is really just minimum compared to work and costs the rest of the year getting to the hunt.
So, if you tip your hat on the way out as appreciation for a job well done, we are good with that. If you tip your hat sarcastically, kinda how I took your comment, then you better hurry when leaving the gate cause it is about to hit you in your backside. Hope I misread your comment.
