I’ve been on hunts where I felt the outfitter was too generous as well. I tried to make it up with an extra generous tip. I had an unsuccessful brown bear hunt in SE Alaska. Outfitter and 2nd guide did everything in their power to get me a bear but spring just came early and was too green. There was nothing they could do. He offered me a $5000 deer hunt and no charge for extra deer instead of the regular $7000 and $1000 for each additional deer after first. I had a great hunt and took 3 bucks a few years later and he honored price. I paid him for the extra two deer and tipped his guide very well. When I asked about a black bear hunt. He offered it at $5000 again. Generosity generally gets repaid. I find the opposite true as well.I know all of you want to shoot me but I told an outfitter I hunted with recently his cost was too low based on the experience. I just always want to be fair with my outfitters and have been so fortunate to always being felt fairly by them
