As an outfitter who also guides , I don't expect a tip. As far as my staff are concerned , I have guidelines to help hunters who aren't sure. However the staff understand that there are people who will tip more , or less , than others. My people give their 110 % , always , and the trackers put themselves in harms way more often than is good for the average mans health. I don't have minimums to tip and no maximums. Tip as you see fit and what you can afford. If your tracker has tracked down your wounded lion, Buffalo , leopard or Elephant successfully , look after the man , he was the only one in the follow up without a rifle... I believe in having the hunter personally tip the staff . It is the right way.
