    I'm going on a bear trip to Ontario tomorrow. The package is cabin, fishing boat and motor, a baited site, recovery, skinning, quartering and freezer storage. The Bill is $1600 for the week. Whats the appropriate amount to tip if you get a bear?

    100-200. Depending on how hard the guide worked.

    I would use a 150 grain tip for the bear!

    Depends on the guide. Could be 80 or could be 180. Where exactly are you headed up there?

    For me its $30 to $50 a day depending on the hunt. I can't imagine not tipping a guide unless he was a complete train wreck and even then I would probably give him something and blame myself for not doing my research ahead of time.
