Hunting for a gift for the outdoorsman
By Andy Anderson
With the holidays upon us and Christmas just a few weeks away, what to get your hunter is a question not often easily answered. Most hunters acquire their basic tools of the trade on their own. Decoys, clothes, weapons and ammo are usually the staple in most hunters’ closets. To top it off, the advances in technology, gizmos and gadgets make it just that much harder to find that perfect gift.
As an avid outdoorsman and hunter, I have quite the collection of stuff I use; most I bought on my own because I know what I need or want for a particular hunt. But what’s your hunter into? Deer, turkey, bow hunting, elk, the list is endless and can become over whelming.
Gizmos and gadgets are always quick and easy items to fill that stocking. GPS units and knives are good. Camo is always a hit. Some new stuff that’s out like Prym1 camo is awesome and has a unique story behind its creation. It’s quality stuff, but the pattern is phenomenal and adaptive, something no one else has been able to create.
But for the hunter who has everything, a guided hunt may be the ticket. It’s said that in Texas there are more exotic species than much of Africa. Your hunter could have a Safari at home at often half the cost of crossing the big pond. Trophy Whitetail hunts are a bargain right now as well as pig hunting on the ground; of course my favorite is helicopter hog hunting. It’s the thrill of a life time, and you get to help farmers and ranchers keep those pesky hogs in check.
