One thing I did learn is while tipping is great, these workers and bird boys also like merchandise. The way it was explained to me was that it doesn't matter if you tip $100 a day there's nowhere for them to go purchase things like an academy.. On the last day I gave my bird boy my noise cancelling ear protection, my hunting vest and a few more items I thought he could use. He was more appreciative of that than the money I gave him.

This right here. They have a real lack of suppliers for things like tablets. One of the guys I went with waited for Amazon Prime Day and picked up a few of those Google Tablets for not much. You should have seen those bird boys faces when they got those things. I've also seen guys give carhartt pants (after coordinating in advance with the outfit to get sizes). Same deal. They were over the moon.
