Q: what's the typical tipping amount for the bird boys and the lodge staff per day for a couple with one non-hunter
That's a great question, and tipping is a customary way to show appreciation for the dedicated team that makes your trip exceptional.
For the bird boys, a typical recommendation is around $100 to $150 per hunter, per day. They work incredibly hard to ensure your hunting experience is seamless and productive, retrieving birds and assisting you in the field.
For the lodge staff (including chefs, servers, housekeepers, and other support staff), a suggested amount is usually around $50 to $75 per guest (including non-hunters), per day, to be distributed among the entire team. This ensures everyone who contributes to your comfort, gourmet meals, and overall experience at the lodge is recognized.
These are general guidelines, and any gratuity is, of course, entirely at your discretion based on the quality of service you receive during your stay with us.
