Books

Books, quality knives, good calls, and ammo are our go to gifts for hunters in my family.

 

[manitou1]

Game cookbooks, headlamps, knives, KNIFE SHARPENING SYSTEM, wool beanies, good gloves, wool socks, merino base layers...

One year around Christmas I was walking through a local sporting goods store with my wife. As we walked past the knife display, I pointed out a really nice knife I would like to have. She looked at me and said, "Don't you think you have enough knives?" I felt just like Ralphie when he told his mom he wanted a Red Rider BB Gun for Christmas.

Agree that ammo can never be a bad gift. Spend as little or as much as you'd like. And its "personal" if you know their calibers. Or 6.5cm for the in-law you dont like haha

Procompression Merino socks (these are the absolute best, have tried Smartwool and others)
Peax backcountry duo headlamp (or one of the other brands that have same design) you can buy 81650 lithium batteries cheap online and they last a long time, super duper bright
Billet Aluminum fuel nozzle that fits the race style gas cans...just got mine today super happy with it - https://ai13.us/collections/best-sellers/products/all-metal-race-nozzle

I'm havin trouble thinkin of some gifts for the men in my family. everyone hunts and we always buy "hunting gifts". problem is evryone has the "basic" stuff. so my question is. does anyone have some ideas for a useful gift that the average hunter wouldnt already have?

price limit? Fun Gadgety stuff? Or more like basic survival?
Books - lots of good books.
Survival Cards like the Readyman.
I love going to a local 'trading post' that sells alot of locally made soaps, candy, snacks, coffee, knives, fire starters, key chains with local antler etc.
I like to give quality strops for knives with sharpener or just the leather.
MSR Groundhog Tent Stakes.
The new Flextail Air Mattress Pump.
Flasks.
Something like the HotLips for your titanium cups if you use those.
You can go up to high end gear too - solar panels (Dark Energy has a new one/GoalZero/etc)
Truck Supplies for the hunter - comealong and rope with snatchblocks.
nice wool hat and glove - or not so nice ones so they don't feel bad using them.
Good Socks isn't a bad idea either.

I asked for some gloves that worked on a touch screen and a blaze orange lid for my SG pack as well.

Bug assault shotgun. It shoots salt. Hunters can stalk and shoot bugs in the off-season. I think there are several companies that sell similar products. I'll paste one of them below.

Bug-A-Salt: The Original Salt Gun | Bug-A-Salt

Insect hunting as sport has entered the 21st Century with Bug-A-Salt. Our insect eradication devices fire ordinary table salt to kill pesky flies. We ship to all 50 states. Fast Shipping. Fire your flyswatter!

Agreed. Raw sugar acts like buck shot on those big ass flies!

Do you know of some that work well? I’ve had mixed results on the touch gloves

Unfortunately no, this will be my first pair.

 

[TOGIE]

i asked for a pair of beartooths from the wife.

also need a SG Krux Frame - if anyone has a lightly used medium for a steal hit me up

need a new range finder

obviously the family nor wife is gonna buy all that for me, but good to throw it out there so the wife knows what's needed in the hunting dept.

always like getting bottles of whiskey that i've never tried

i ask for a gift/variety set of flatiron pepper company flakes every christmas - stuff is expensive but oh so good for my cooking

I purchased some thin gloves off the75% off bin from midway that work in touch screen.

I snagged a few ammo wallets, pockets to go on bino harnesses, stock packs to go on rifles to give to family this year. They have been a hit so far.
