Question 5

What should I tip my guide and their staff?

Accepted Answer

The standard tip for guides and staff averages 15% as a base. Your tip is a personal choice and your happiness with your experience can be reflected in your tip. Guides work seasonally and that often comes with sacrifice. Cooks and other staff are usually tipped slightly less than your guide. If you think someone has gone above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable, a tip is greatly appreciated.

Question 6

I can't wait to treat my family to wild game, how do I get it home?"

Accepted Answer

You have serveral options in getting your taxidermy and meat home. We suggest: 1. bring serveral large coolers to travel home 2. donate your meat to Hunters for Hunger (must be the entire carcass including backstrap and tenderloin) 3. complete a meat/taxidermy cut and delivery form. Rack and Reel staff will deliver your meat and taxidermy. It can be shipped to you from Montana.Delivery is typically in January following  your hunt.   The hunter is responsible for meat, taxidermy and shipping costs.

Question 7

Do you recommend a certain taxidermist?

Accepted Answer

Rack and Reel uses several local taxidermists, however, if you have another taxidermist that you'd like to use, ask your guide to cape your animal for you to travel home. Taxidermists typically charge about $100 per animal to cape.
