Whether Dad is an avid bowhunter, a deer hunter, or a waterfowler, chances are he’ll appreciate some new gear and apparel for his next hunt this Father’s Day (which is June 16, 2024, by the way). From the best cellular trail camera
to the Sitka hunting jacket
pros swear by, we’ve rounded up the best Father’s Day hunting gifts you can shop right now and have delivered in time for the big day.
Dad can keep tabs on his next buck with one of our favorite cellular trail cameras
, which sends instant photos and videos directly to his phone and provides clear imaging in any light conditions.
Yeti LoadOut GoBox 30 Gear Case
If Dad needs a place to keep all his hunting gizmos and gadgets—from ammo to calls—the Yeti LoadOut will do the trick. As tough and durable as a Yeti cooler, it’s dust- and waterproof and provides ample organization space inside.
No Dad can have too many T-shirts—it’s a fact. This one boasting the Field & Stream logo is made of a super soft cotton material that feels perfectly lived in right out of the package. It comes in sizes S to 3XL.
One of the best shotguns for duck hunting
—as tested by our experts—the Winchester Super X4 will get Dad excited for waterfowling this year with its light weight, versatility, and pattern performance.
Winter may be a ways away but Dad will love having this wind- and water-resistant Sitka hunting jacket
for the cold hunting season ahead. It’s the warmest jacket our experts have ever worn.
Benchmade Saddle Mountain Skinner Fixed Blade Knife
Whether he’s skinning, slicing, or quartering, Dad can do all the above with the best knife for field dressing
from Benchmade. It has a durable and super sharp stainless steel fixed blade along with an ergonomic handle for maneuverability.
Vortex Diamondback Rifle Scope
Any hunter—Dad included—would be thrilled to unwrap this Vortex rifle scope on Father’s Day. Hundreds of people rave about how clear the water- and fog-proof glass is and how easy the scope is to use and adjust on the go.
We’re longtime fans of Chêne Gear, and as soon as Dad puts on these Scout boots, he will be, too. They’re completely waterproof to keep Dad’s feet dry as he slogs through the marsh along with a non-slip sole for superior traction. Comfortable, durable, and long-lasting—what else could he want?
Plano Field Locker Element Bow Case
If Dad spent hundreds (or thousands) on a fancy new compound bow
, he needs one of the best bow cases
to protect it. We recommend this Plano bow case for its rugged drop- and shock-resistant shell and its customizable foam padding.
Cabela’s Classic Series II Neoprene Boot-Foot Waders
While you could shell out $1,000 on a pair of Chêne waders
or Sitka waders
, this neoprene pair from Cabela’s is much more affordable—and some of the top-performing out there, according to our experts’ test of the best duck hunting waders
.
Leupold BX-2 Alpine HD Binoculars
No matter what Dad’s hunting, these top-rated Leupold binoculars will come in handy. Lightweight yet heavy duty, they provide some of the best clarity a pair of binos can deliver and have technology that eliminates glare.
With more than 3,000 reviews, the KUIU bino harness is one of the most popular you can buy. Along with comfortable adjustable straps, it has an easy-open lid and a moldable case that will contour to any pair of binoculars.
The dedicated Field & Stream fans among us will appreciate this vintage father-son cover print from the Field & Stream September 1962 issue. You can get the artwork framed or have it printed on canvas, wood, and even metal for Dad to hang proudly on the wall.
Badlands Superday Hunting Pack
Of all the hunting backpacks
our experts have used in the field, this one is the best overall. Not only is it compatible with both rifles and compound bows, the padding, adjustability, and contouring make it one of the most comfortable packs.
Maven makes some of the best hunting optics—and its best-selling rangefinder
is no exception. Dad will be impressed by the high quality imaging and 4,500-yard ranging capabilities. You can even get it engraved for a personal touch.
Over Under Wingmaster Duck Camo Field Jacket
Over Under is one of our favorite brands for gear that’s as good for hunting as it is for everyday life. This Wingmaster field jacket is a perfect example of that. Made of quality waxed canvas, it’s packed with features for the waterfowl or upland hunter, like plenty of expandable pockets, a wading belt, and a removable blaze orange safety collar. Plus, the old school duck camo and vintage brass buttons just look super sharp.
Montana Knife Company Blackfoot 2.0
If Dad doesn’t yet own a knife from Montana Knife Company, Father’s Day is a great time to gift him one. Not only is the Blackfoot 2.0 the brand’s OG blade, it’s also one of founder Josh Smith’s favorite MKC knives
. He dubs it the “ultimate do-it-all knife” for everything from hunting to everyday carry. Bonus: It’s American-made.
Here’s what Dad will get with a Field & Stream 1871 Club membership: the brand new Field & Stream Journal delivered to his doorstep twice a year, a sweet members-only hat, exclusive discounts and VIP access to new products and experiences, and oh-so-much-more. He’ll love it, promise.
Stanley Classic Legendary Bottle
Available in three camo patterns—along with a handful of solid colors—this stainless steel Stanley mug is just what Dad needs to keep his coffee hot while he’s sitting in the stand.
Traeger Flatrock Flat Top Grill
Those elk steaks or turkey breasts aren’t going to cook themselves. Help Dad prep his wild game—or any meat for that matter—with the Traeger Flatrock. I personally own this griddle and can attest to how amazing it is. It cooks food evenly every time and the flavor is on a whole other level.
Irish Setter MudTrek Hunting Boots
If Dad’s footwear is in need of an upgrade, gift him these Irish Setter hunting boots, which we dubbed the best hunting boots of 2023
. They’re very warm and even more comfortable for trekking through the woods—and most importantly, completely waterproof.
Field & Stream Music Fest Tickets
Every hunter—and especially every dad—needs some time to kick back and let loose. For that, gift him tickets to the first ever Field & Stream Music Fest happening this October in Winnsboro, South Carolina. He can jam out to some of country music’s biggest stars (including Riley Green, Eric Church, and even Lynyrd Skynyrd) and participate in a whole host of other outdoor activities, from sporting clays to off-road adventures.
Stone Glacier packs are easily some of the best out there, and the Sky 5900 is the brand’s most popular. Made in the USA with the most durable and highest quality materials, it weighs just over 5 pounds yet can hold up to 150 pounds with its unique integrated load shelf design. It’s well worth the splurge for any dad who goes on long backcountry hunts.
Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener
One of the best knife sharpeners
, this Work Sharp pick will likely become one of Dad’s favorite tools. It’s small enough to carry in the field and can quickly sharpen everything from pocket knives to fishing hooks (if he’s an angler, too).
If you’re searching for the best personalized hunting gifts
, look no further than a custom duck call from 737. Now through Father’s Day, you can get free engraving on the call of your choice.
Under Armour Ridge Reaper Raider Pants
Outfit Dad with a pair of Under Armour Ridge Reaper hunting pants, which are lightweight and breathable yet durable enough to hold up in the backcountry and are designed to be virtually silent.
CenterPoint Wrath 430 Crossbow
Whether Dad’s been hunting with a crossbow for years or just getting into it, this CenterPoint crossbow is one of the best crossbows
our experts have tested because it’s easy to cock, compact for carrying, and fast.
