If I go to McDonalds, I pay for the food and since no one served the food, no tips. Access to land is like the food - you pay what is asked. If no one guides you (Wait staff), no tip. If the outfitter is setting up lodging, doing pre-season scouting, giving good scouting reports and boots on the ground info, then I think a tip is in order.

Quote from: Farmboy27 on June 10, 2016, 05:51:42 PMOk. Enough bickering! Lol! Bottom line is I'm going on a self guided hunt. Meals and lodging provided. The contract states that the outfitter will show us the property the day before the hunt and then we are on our own. We provide our own transportation. Bird cleaning is on us. Is there really any reason to tip? Self guided folks! Quit bringing guides into the question! There ain't gonna be any! We are already paying the outfitter for access and lodging. And did I mention, no guides!

Great post!Sent from the Strut ZoneThe first turkey I shot was called in by a friend of mine. I didn't pay for the hunt, but honestly I did little more than pull the trigger. I still remember it like it was yesterday. It got me hooked. I've called in dozens of birds for "first time" turkey hunters since. I've never judged any of them for "just pulling the trigger". Many of them have gotten hooked on turkey hunting... We all start somewhere, right?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quote from: Farmboy27 on June 12, 2016, 06:28:58 PMLol! Yup! Doing nothing but pulling the trigger? Unless you're in a blind, then even if you didn't do the calling you're doing more than just pulling the trigger. You still have to sit still, move at the right time, pick out the bird, wait for the right shot, and then make the shot. I've killed lots of birds that the calling was the easy part. Getting the shot was the issue!
