As you know, tipping is voluntary and no obligation on your part. Tipping is a way of telling your guide, and if applicable camp staff, how much you valued his (their) services and professionalism. The amount you might tip should therefore reflect your degree of satisfaction.
This said, you might still wish to tip and wonder how much is customary. Apart from your satisfaction level you should also consider the type of hunt you went on, and any extra work your guide did for you. Most our hunters start tipping at around $500 as a starting point. It usually ends around $2000. We are sure you will find a number that will reflect your means and satisfaction level.

Deposit Requirements
To reserve your space we require a deposit of 50% of the hunt price up to a year before the hunt takes place. The balance of the hunt price is due by May 15th the year of the hunt. 25% deposit is required to hold your space for bookings made more than a year in advance. An additional 25% will be due by November 15th the year prior to your hunt, with the balance again being payable by May 15th the year of the hunt.
A hunting contract and a receipt will be issued for your initial deposit, which will also indicate the remaining payment schedule.
Please note that you can only come on a hunt with us if you are paid up by May 15th the year of your hunt. Otherwise all monies paid will be forfeited and your hunt space will be resold.
Payment Options
All funds are charged in Canadian Dollars and payments can be wired to our CAD account in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. We certainly accept personal cheques for hunt deposits.
For payments in camp we can take traveller cheques, certified cheques, bank drafts, cash and VISA or MASTER card (2,9% service charge applies). We are sorry for the inconvenience but for payments in camp we cannot accept personal cheques.
For payments in any other currency than CAD the daily rate of "Bank of Canada" will be used for conversion the day your payment takes place.

If an animal is wounded or killed and can't be recovered, it is dealt with as killed. Your licence automatically cancels and trophy fees to the outfitter are payable accordingly.

Trophy Fees
Trophy fees are payable to the outfitter for all game killed. Trophy fees on single species hunts are included in your hunt price.
Trophy fees are payable for all add on species taken on single species hunts. The same applies for all trophies taken on mixed bag hunts. Please see the price list through this link for specific pricing.
