Hey trophy8- sorry I hurt your little feelings. Dont get your panties in a wad. Again, you added your crap to the list of crap on this forum. As always, somebody gives their opinion on something like I did, and here you come with the bashing. You Probly couldn’t guide a 10 year old, much less me for 5g.

Are you sure you owe no more money since no opportunity was provided? Or is that the point of this thread, to try and convince yourself it's ok to leave without paying?
What's the ranch name/website? That may clear things up.

Thanks for clearing that up. Some places you pay in full regardless. At least you’re only out $500. Imo you owe nothing. They wasted your weekend if you don’t have a single opportunity at a deer you went there for.
If you feel the guide deserves something after today then pay what you think is right and move on.

I would argue the steak dinners and hot breakfasts constitute a tip in this specific situation, unless it was discussed that you would be providing all meals for the entire camp previously. As you mentioned, you would probably feel differently if they were busting their tail all day long, up early, in bed late, etc... But that is not the case. Chalk it up to a $500 weekend with your son and move on to better, more fruitful, pastures. Fingers crossed he gets his buck this AM and all of this talk is moot.

Were you satisfied with the blind set ups, deer feeders, lodging, and uber rides to blinds? Were you happy with guide at the start and unhappy once you didn't see enough game?
You technically owe nothing. Tip is for great service. Unless they told you up front to please tip the guide that is.
I have no idea how hunting is there but all around here is slower than ever.
Whatever you decide just go with it and try to not worry. Doesn't hurt to try and talk to the guy. Only you really know the effort he put in (or didn't)
Add in an entire different debateWhy should what he tips be different if they luck into a buck this morning? The guide worked "X" hard.
