Pretty much everything that has been said here. Don’t forget to tip the cook and the wrangler if they have one. A lot of guides are not paid well and usually bust their hump from daylight to dark. Not all do. I guided in Idaho and I thought I knew what hard work was until I got to camp. It was eye opening for sure. Do what you can afford though but don’t break the bank. Never know you might end up with some life long friends like I did.

What about tipping a drop camp outfitter?

Just got back from Moose hunt, spent 11 days up there, my guide was a fantastic person and cooked for me the entire 7 days we were in the out camp together.  I was overly impressed with how hard he worked so I gave him a good chunk of change (he said it was $1,000 more than he had ever received before).  I also gave both the kids that helped pack the meat $200 each and even though I only spent 3 nights at the lodge waiting to get out due to bad weather, the food there was outstanding and gave $100 there as well as that was the last of the cash I had on me but would have liked to give at least another $50-100 to them.
