I remember hearing Keith Warren talking on stage at a hunting trade show years ago. He shared a story that has stuck with me since when he and his son went on a Canadian black bear hunt and the guide drank himself to death in his tent. On this week’s show Keith (a veteran of some 3 plus decades in the outdoor industry) tells that story plus some of the other worst experiences he’s had on guided hunts throughout his career.

Keith and I also discuss gratuity when it comes to a guided hunt. What is expected? What kind of service would you expect if you rebooked after a stellar hunt where you left a crappy tip? Also, I think alot of hunters fail to understand the entire camp staff is also in play, not just your guide.

(Keith joined me on a Zoom call from an elk hunting lodge in New Mexico)
