When I was in Africa the PH wanted 100.00/day, when I was in Scotland the Stalker wanted 20 pounds an outing for a pint of stout,in America the guide wants the keys to your truck.
Percentages are not really a good guide on big money. I had it explained it to me this way: A sheep hunt costs $20K, 20% of $20K is $4k. Are you going to give your guide a $4000.00 tip? Uh No.
The consensus in that situation is that 1000.00 is a good tip, maybe 1200.00 if he goes above and beyond. I would say that $100.00/day is a fair tip on a bird hunt. Tip more if he goes the extra mile, IMHO
