What's the normal tipping rate for a two day goose hunt for two people ? Also we had our own dog . (Total price of hunt was $800.00)

If your guide works for the outfitter tip him good. Those kids only make about $25 per head

Since I work the industry I tip good, last hunt I tipped our guide $400. Gotta have a few good ones to make up for all the dead beats that don't tip at all.

If you can find a goose guide that will actually show up and/or answer his phone, then he's worth a pretty good tip in my book.

Men this is not a timber goose hunting thread, its a tipping the guides help thread. I suggest another thread be started to answer these very important questions on timber goose hunting and 410's

Well I tip a sawbuck for every inch of mag tube that hangs past my barrel. As a general rule.

If the guide:
Is rude to your wife
Acts annoyed that your guest's teenage daughter needs a ride to take a leak, and then stalls getting her to the truck while she is nearly in tears
Acts like you are there the set decoys for him
Doesn't know how to use a 4 wheeler
Dumps your guest off the 4-wheeler into the mud
Refuses to give you and your guest a ride back to the truck until his decoys are picked-up, and then watches you and your guest walk 3/4 mile back to the trucks
Wont shut his trap about how good he is, and you and your guest get a shot at one goose all morning

I will not use that guide service again

TIP TOTAL - $0

Depends on the hunt and more importantly the guide...

That's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year
