    Guide tipping question

    You are joking right? I never expect a tip, but around 50% of my fishing/hunting clients do, and it ranges from on average 10-25% We always tip in restaurants, unless the service has been terrible, which is very rare. Just to mention, I have always given a good tip to any fly fishing guides...

    Neck shots.

    From memory you shot the roe buck with me with a neck shot?

    Neck shots.

    I have never neck shot an Elk, but more deer than I care to remember, I keep it simple, all less than 100 yards, face on or from the rear, never side on, too risky side on, you can just hit the windpipe and it will run off and have a slow death, and you will just think, damn I missed.

    Arizona 5b put up or shutup.

    It is to someone who doesn't have a 'off season', I feel for you all, but it does, as you say, provide entertainment, and has done since I joined over 10 years ago. Not long to go now chaps ;)

    How many deer can you kill in your home state?

    As many as I like, and many farms wish I could/would shoot more.

    I have eaten lots, but cooked zero, my 94 year old mother-in-law (or as I have her in my phone on speed dial, monster-in-law, she know's it and likes a joke) makes a lovely pie, she makes it along similar lines of this recipe She uses cod, for the smoked fish its mainly haddock, but sometimes...

    I know him personally, which is strange as I live so far away! A really genuine friendly guy, he has mentioned coming across the pond with his wife to visit one day, they are more than welcome, one favour deserves another.
