100% against this, unless the customer placed heavy demands for turnaround on the taxi, and the taxi met those expectations.  Or some similar extraordinary effort above and beyond a normal taxidermy transaction. 

Tipping culture is completely out of control, IMHO.  Offer your services for a price, accept payment of that price, and don't expect a customer to make up for your lack of willingness to pay a reasonable wage to your employees on your behalf.  We're stuck with food service tipping, but I resist it at every other opportunity.  If anything other than a sit-down restaurant expects me to tip as a form of payment, they'll never see me again.

That said, I do tip often, and generously, when the service is warranted.
 :twocents:, and off my soapbox now.

Well Said!

I’d say repeat business is a tip enough if you have a taxi who does a great job.

The tip should be return business.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I agree the tip should be repeat business as well as a good recommendation to fellow hunters
