Title: How to tip a guide
Post by: Mike Yancey on August 26, 2011, 07:21:00 PM
Here is how you tip a guide that bowhunts as well as some cash!

52@ 28 bamboo backed osage with diamondbacks and an otter back quiver with a set of Traditional only arrows. I am sending this out to the guy that guided me on an elk hunt in Wyoming last year.

Mike I've got some trail-cam pics. of some Booner groundhogs on my property just begging to be ambushed this fall! Got a bunch of stands over looking 2 real nice food plots with plenty of big holes and trails leading away from them. Barry Wensel and Mike Mitten were going to come and do a little filming for their next DVD, but I already was full for this season! But I bet I could find a real secluded spot for you if your interested! It would be just between us! LOL
Let me know if your interested

Hey Randy, the sinew on your bow is about dry enough for me to start tillering it and start shooting it.
Good luck this fall, wish I was out there!

Mike,

Nice work, your guide will truly appreciate this.  He obviously did a great job for you.  I'm smiling for your guide right now.

As for Morrison,
Do you tip waitstaff at restaurants?  I'm very confused by your comments.  Would you refuse a tip if someone offered it to you as a great appreciation for your efforts?

As a fishing outfitter in MT, tips are greatly appreciated and thanks to all of you that support the people in service industries.
