Thanks for the advice. I had often wondered if the old custom of giving knives, etc. still held or if they simply want cold hard cash. I like the idea of giving each person a tip, a handshake, and a word of thanks. Sometimes an "ATTABOY" goes farther than money.

I have also heard the stories of greedy operators smiling, taking a pocketful of money for distribution to the staff, and then keeping it. I think the one at a time handout would solve this problem.

The idea of handing a double rifle, or any firearm, to a guide kind of freaks me out. Even if the hunt went that well, I dont think I would ever hand a rifle over to a resident of a foreign country. Gotta wonder how many laws you would be breaking. Plus I have worked too damn hard to get what I have, and sure cant start giving stuff away.

Anyway, thanks to all for the words of advice. I hope in a year or two I have the opportunity to put it to use.

Mike
