Whether you’re looking for hunting gifts for a hunting buddy or you’re someone who doesn’t hunt but you need a gift for someone who does, just keep in mind what the person loves and it’ll be hard to choose a gift that they don’t love. Gift giving for anyone is simplified if you keep in mind the things they love to do. Whether a man is a football fanatic or he likes model airplanes, a gift with some sort of relationship to those favorite things is going to be hit. So a man who hunts is going to love something related to the sport.
Outdoorsman hunting gifts can be anything they can use while hunting or anything that reminds them of hunting. While that might seem like a narrow field to choose from if you’re not a hunter, it’s really a wide-open area. Someone who hunts uses all types of gear. Hunting gifts could be any of those things that he regularly uses.
A duck hunter might enjoy duck calls or a new decoy. Someone who hunts deer or large animals like that might enjoy a new hunting knife or something specifically related to the animal that they hunt. If you can’t bring yourself to purchase a hunting knife for someone else, then consider things like a keychain that says deer or elk hunter. A bumper sticker or a decal for them to put on their vehicle that shows their love of hunting is also a good option.
Camouflaged items are popular hunting gifts. If you know the person’s size then camouflaged clothing is a good option as are things like camouflaged jackets. Many hunters also enjoy fishing or their hunting takes them out onto the water. So useful items like keychains that float and keep keys from sinking are a good idea. Most hunters can never have enough emergency flashlights so a flashlight it doesn’t require batteries like a hand crank flashlight is a thoughtful and practical gift.
If you already hunt and you’d like to buy hunting gifts for friends who also enjoy the sport, you can simply ask them what they need or go for something that’s a perennial favorite. Hunting DVDs and books that provide information and entertainment are sure to be appreciated.
Even if you are a duck hunter and your friend is a deer hunter, you can purchase them a book (Strategies for Whitetails
) or DVD (Deer Masters Home Deer Processing
) about white tailed deer hunting and that’s going to interest them. You don’t actually need to know anything about their type of hunting to give them a thoughtful gift about their sport. Also consider things like cookbooks for wild game (Dressing & Cooking Wild Game
). Your deer hunting friend might appreciate a cookbook all about how to prepare venison, or your duck hunting friend might appreciate a cookbook that’s about different ways to cook ducks and geese.
Just think about the many things that hunting involves from preparation to safety to cooking, and you’ll come up with great hunting gifts for everyone on your list.

People who don’t hunt or fish or participate in any outdoor sports often like to make fun of things like fishing programs or a hunting DVD. They can’t understand why anyone would want to watch something like someone else fishing or hunting. And while it’s true that many fishing and hunting videos aren’t action-packed, many hunters love them. Even if 20 minutes is spent just listening to the fishermen or the hunter talk about what they’re doing, the observant hunter is soaking up what they’re saying and figuring out how to put it to use on his own terms.
If you enjoy hunting and have never watched a hunting DVD, you’re really missing out on an educational experience. You can find a hunting DVD for every type of game from bison and bear to ducks and quail. Not only do these DVDs let you see beautiful outdoor areas that you might not be able to visit in person, you get the commentary from the experienced sportsmen who are making the DVDs.
Buy: The Modern Day Mountain Man Season 1, Brown Bear, Caribou, Dall Sheep, Wolf, Elk, and Mule Deer Hunting from Alaska and Idaho
Listening to them talk about what they’re doing, how they’re doing it, how they planned it and what they expect can be a very educational especially for someone new to hunting. If guided hunts aren’t for you and you don’t have any close friends that you can regularly go hunting with, a hunting DVD can really fill in that gap of knowledge and experience. Just don’t make the mistake of thinking that since you’ve watched one of those DVDs that you actually have that experience. Be sure and don’t become overconfident, especially since you’re using a weapon.
If you do have friends that you hunt with or you’re not against the idea of a guided hunt, you can still really enjoy a hunting DVD. Some are designed just to show you a special hunt where they’d bagged a trophy winning animal or made an impressive kill. Other hunting DVDs are set up in a certain way to convey specific information.
You might find a white tailed deer hunting DVD that gives you several specific pointers about how to have your first white tailed deer hunt. Another deer hunting DVD may simply be scenes from several of the sportsman’s most impressive hunting trips. Duck hunting DVDs may demonstrate the best calls for certain types of ducks or how to locate a spot and build a blind. Other DVDs may take you on a guided hunt and help to advertise a specific hunting lodge or line of hunting products and gear.
Buy: Majestic Whitetails
Regardless of the focus of the hunting DVD, you can mine it for the information that you really want. Just watching the sportsman’s technique, whether they’re shooting or using a compound bow, can give you a point of reference to compare your own techniques you. And even if you doubt whether or not you’ll get anything educational from the DVD, you still may enjoy following along with the professional hunter and just seeing a different style and technique than your own.

A hunting magazine certainly isn’t a necessity for today’s hunter especially with the Internet where information on almost anything can be found. But hunting magazines offer just one more way for you to enjoy your support, read about other experiences and learn tips and tricks. You can find a hunting magazine just for white-tailed deer, one just for ducks and geese and other waterfowl, one for quail, grouse and partridge and hunting magazines that cover just about everything you can think of.
Buy: Field & Stream (1-year)
Some magazines are just focused on outdoor hunting and may contain information and stories about all different types of the sport. Know what you’re getting before you pay for it so you’re not disappointed. If you like to fish also you may invest in a hunting magazine that simply covers hunting and fishing and all of its different manifestations.
Buy: North American Whitetail
There are a number of magazines dedicated to deer hunting. Most of these really only focus on deer with a very occasional article about some other similar hunting like elk or moose. The people who write for these magazines are typically deer hunters who also work as journalists or simply have a way with words. And some of the stories that they publish aren’t by people with much writing skill at all but they are interesting because of the stories themselves.
Buy: Hunting
These deer hunting magazines have tips and tricks, and sections that are designed to help you become a better hunter. They have columns that focus on a different aspect of hunting each month. One month might talk about tree stand safety while another month might focus on the importance of masking your scent. And of course they have feature articles that give an overview of the sport and focus on a few key points. Some deer hunting magazines are very specialized like a magazine specifically for whitetail deer.
Buy: Bowhunting
One of the most popular outdoor magazines in history, Field & Stream, is example of a magazine that covers all different types of hunting as well as fishing. Someone who only deer hunts may be disappointed at the broad coverage in a magazine like this unless they really enjoy reading about other types of outdoor activities too. But it’s ideal for the outdoor sportsman who appreciates a variety of different experiences. Someone who enjoys fishing for a variety of different species as well as someone who hunts throughout several seasons of the year will really enjoy this type of magazine.
Buy: Deer & Deer Hunting (1-year)
A hunting magazine that focuses on just one type of game typically offers more in-depth information than a magazine that covers several different types of game and/or fishing. You’re more likely to find specific tips for scouting out a white-tailed deer in a magazine just dedicated to deer hunting than you will in a broad-based magazine. So if you’re looking for specific information, you may want to subscribe to a very specialized magazine. Choose a hunting magazine that focuses on your sport for information but don’t discount those broad-based magazines for entertainment, too.
