Knives... candy and soccer balls for their kids.....

Don't replace tips with gifts... Cash is always king

Lots of discussion on this. Take cash or spare items you have and don’t use. Unfortunately if you spend money on gifts most will be sold for a fraction of what you spent. Trackers only need so many Leatherman’s.

I’ve given them clothing & cigarettes, and of course tips too.

I take things like hard candies, cheap $3 Walmart headlamps, etc that allow me to make kind gestures and show appreciation while on the hunt…

But those in no way replace tips… they’re just a little something “extra” to share when appropriate…

On our trip, a few guys left their shoes or boots for the trackers.

US Army surplus OD green fleece jackets. The trackers love them

Beanies, jackets, even phone chargers that fit all make decent gifts. You could also check with your outfitter beforehand to see what is hard to get there. As said before, don't replace cash with a gift.

Clothing, hats, boots, are things they will use and appreciate.

This is the best gift you can give them.

Are you giving them cash in their currency? I just got back and I hunted with the owner of the farm the whole time the PH was sick. I paid with my debit card and he made it pretty clear don’t bring cash out there and give it to anybody. It made it kind of awkward leaving because those guys did so much for me
