Tipping Guide

[Csnakes03]

What is common practice when hunting with another hunter or even a small group of hunters (3 or 4)? Does everyone tip individually or do they "pool" for a "standard" tip?
My hunt next year in RSA is with 3 other guys, but only 1 PH. Its the same Outfitter I was with this last May, and I have a feeling we might have "overtipped" (we didnt feel like we did) since myself, my wife and my brother all rode in one vehicle while hunting and all had the same PH. I can see tipping cleaning staff or skinners by each hunter individually, but I'm curious what people think about my situation in general.
Thanks!

Cant get my head around expected tips.

I come from a culture where tipping is very uncommon plus i was raised poor, so often there was often nothing extra you could give away.

But here wages are enough to get by and most people dont rely on tips.

The tipping culture in the us is the biggest point that keeps me from visiting the us.
It just messes with my head.

Althought i get the point that a PH would be able to keep harmony if he distributes the tips to the staff and it would be fair to give a staff, thats not visible to the client but makes a great job, a piece of the cake.

I still seem to prefere the trough to hand it personally to the person that i feel deserved it.

Seems like i need another year or two to save the extra money expected as tips

He was sort of a ditz, but had been friendly and respectful to me and my wife and helped me bag a puku.

Was it a trophy puku?
