1. The Original Bear Paws Shredder Claws

 

 

Do you know a hunter who loves to cook wild game? These Original Bear Paws shredder claws can make the cooking process easier. Each claw features a handle and a row of teeth, so your recipient can shred meat without getting their hands dirty. Easy to hold and comfortable to use, these claws enable faster, more efficient meat preparation. They’re made from BPA-free nylon, which is tough enough to toss in the dishwasher or use near the oven or grill. Choose from a variety of colors to find the right fit.

 

2. Carhartt Men’s Sandstone Active Jacket

 

 

Hunting can be a cold and wet experience — and that’s why this men’s Sandstone Active jacket from Carhartt is one of the best Christmas gifts for hunters. Made with thick, durable materials, this piece is warm enough for cold weather. Plus, since it resists tearing, the jacket is ideal for hunters who spend hours walking through the forest. The drawstring hood can be worn up or down depending on the weather, and the split kangaroo pocket is a cozy place to warm the hands. We love the knitted cuffs and hem, which help keep cool air out.

 

3. SnowCinda Unisex Flashlight Beanie

 

 

Help your favorite hunter stay safe in the wild with this SnowCinda flashlight beanie. The soft and stretchy knit fabric keeps the recipient warm, and the built-in LED light ensures visibility during a nighttime hike. In fact, the five LEDs deliver 12,000 MCD of brightness for safety. Turning them on requires a quick flip of the hand switch — that way, your hunter can leave their hands free to carry their game.

 

4. TRSCIND Survival Gear Kit

 

 

Does the hunter in your life spend time off the beaten path during hunting trips? This TRSCIND survival gear kit can give both of you peace of mind. It comes with 13 different tools that are useful in the wilderness, including a compass, a knife, an emergency blanket, and a flashlight. Each of the compact tools come packed in a small, durable case that keeps out moisture and prevents rust. Since the case is tiny, it’s easy to tuck in a pocket or a backpack without adding unnecessary weight or bulk.

 

5. YETI Rambler Mug

Sometimes, a cup of hot coffee or tea can make a long day of hunting more pleasant. That’s where the YETI Rambler mug comes in. Made from tough, durable materials and vacuum insulated, this mug keeps drinks hot for longer. The full-loop handle features a wide grip, so it’s easy to hold when wearing gloves — plus, since the design prevents sweating and condensation, it prevents wet gloves or hands. The Duracoat finish resists scratching, even in a harsh outdoor setting.

For hunters, it can be a hassle to carry around a variety of tools. This Gerber Suspension multi-plier solves that problem — it’s packed with 12 different tools, each loaded into a compact frame. Simply rotate out the tool to use it, and collapse it back into the frame for safe carrying.

We love the Saf.T.Plus locking system, which prevents tools from flipping out accidentally.

Use the front-mounted keypad to access the interior, and rely on the pry-proof frame to keep guns safely locked away. With its freestanding frame, this safe is easy to set up in any location.

 

8. Ergodyne N-Ferno 6823 Balaclava

 

 

Camouflage is crucial for hunters — and so is warmth. This Ergodyne N-Ferno 6823 balaclava, which is one of the best gifts for duck hunters, covers both bases. It offers coverage for the entire head, face, and neck; there’s a small opening that leaves room for the hunter to see clearly. The thermal fleece fabric blocks the wind and adds insulation, and the mesh mouth panel allows easy breathing without creating condensation buildup. We love the reflective trim, which helps your hunter stay safe in the wild.

 

9. Prosmart Heated Vest

 

Do you know a hunter who spends lots of time outdoors in extreme winter weather? This Prosmart heated vest makes a great gift. It’s made with multiple integrated heating units that deliver a constant stream of warmth. Choose from three different heating levels to suit the weather; they’re easy to change using the built-in button on the chest. Charge the battery using the USB port, and rely on 10 hours of heating on a single charge. With its carbon-fiber heating elements, this vest is machine washable.

 

10. A Look at Life from a Deer Stand

 

 

Whether your hunter is hanging out at home or sitting for long days in a deer stand, a good book can be a great gift. This hunting-themed devotional uses the great outdoors to teach lessons about faith and life, making it an inspirational read. The compact size is easy to carry, and the softcover looks and feels luxurious.
