There are regular moms and then there are moms who hunt. If you’re shopping for a Mother’s Day hunting gift for the latter, you likely know just how particular she is about the stuff she uses. As a mom myself, some of the best presents I’ve received from my husband and kids have been gear. While flowers and a card are nice, I’ll take a new pair of Vortex binoculars for my next hunt any day.
Whether the mom in your life is a seasoned hunter or just beginning her journey, these gift ideas are as useful as they are thoughtful, from a Sitka jacket perfect for deer season to the KUIU bino harness everyone is obsessed with. We’ve included something for every budget, too, including some splurge-worthy and fun finds like the new Turtlebox Ranger speaker, Chene Scout boots for women, and even Mossy Oak camo rings.
Most of us here at Field & Stream either have moms who hunt or are hunting mamas ourselves, so we know what is sure to make her happy. These are our recommendations for the best Mother’s Day gifts for hunters.
Sitka Core Lightweight Hoodie
You can never go wrong with Sitka. The Core Lightweight Hoody has been a long-time favorite and it’s recently become available in women’s sizes. Perfect for layering, it’s made of a lightweight yet warm sweat-wicking blend. It features a built-in hood, stretchy mesh face mask, and comfortable fit.
Groove Life Camo Silicone Ring
We have all heard horror stories of people losing rings out in the field or freak accidents happening by wearing rings during outdoor activities. Groove Life rings make a good choice of a substitution while in the field or doing any activity. No need to worry about damaging or losing your priceless wedding set.
Vortex Viper HD Binoculars
Offering premium quality without the premium price tag, Vortex binoculars are a must-have for any hunting mom. Crafted with high-density extra-low dispersion glass and XR anti-reflective coatings, they deliver superior edge-to-edge clarity and crisp low-light viewing. With an extra-wide field of view, she won’t miss a moment of the action.
Chene Scout Boots
I love versatile pieces I can use all throughout the year, like the Chene Scout boots. Recently released in women's sizes, these lightweight ankle boots are made of fully waterproof neoprene and rubber with a well-cushioned sole. They're some of the most comfortable rubber boots we've ever worn.
Field & Stream Hat
If she’s a firm believer you can never have too many hats, add this Field & Stream ball cap to her collection. Named after avid outdoorsman and US President Theodore Roosevelt, it’s one of those wear-anywhere kinds of hats she’ll get a ton of use out of. Psst: Morgan Wallen has been seen wearing this hat!
Stanley Classic Vacuum Bottle
This is one of my favorite mugs to take to the field. It comes in a bunch of colors—including blaze orange and forest green—and even camo patterns like Mossy Oak Bottomland to keep your tumbler concealed during hunts. The leak-resistant lid makes this thermos spill-proof and easy for one-handed use, while the stainless steel insulation keeps everything cold (or hot). Mom can throw it in her hunting pack without worrying about spills.
Turtlebox Ranger
Turtlebox has made waves in the outdoor community for its rugged, waterproof portable speakers. While we love the OG Turtlebox, we also just tested the newly released—and more compact—Ranger. It's easy to toss in a pack and has incredible sound quality and volume (and battery life!). Mom will love this, trust us.
KUIU Pro G3 Bino Harness
The KUIU Pro G3 bino harness is arguably the best out there. Give it to Mom along with a rangefinder holder, lanyard, and accessory pocket with this amazing setup. She can tailor the size of the bino harness to fit her specific binocular size, and the fully adjustable shoulder straps accommodate a wide range of users.
Yeti Hopper M20 Backpack Cooler
Every mom needs a Yeti cooler, and the Hopper M20 backpack cooler is one of the most versatile (and most portable) options. Whether she’s heading out to the duck blind or taking the kids to baseball practice, this cooler is easy to carry, lightweight, and, most importantly, well-insulated. It’s just the right size for drinks and snacks, and it features a kangaroo pocket on the outside for easy access to your other must-have items.
The Weeknight Wild Game Cookbook
This cookbook by Jennifer Danella—who is a lifelong hunter herself—offers a treasure trove of easy-to-follow recipes, from mouthwatering burgers and sliders to hearty soups and stews. Mom will have plenty of inspiration for delicious, family-friendly dishes to whip up with the wild game she harvested.
DSG Kylie 5.0 Hunting Jacket
Designed for women by women, there is nothing like having female tailored gear. The Kylie is a 3-in-1 jacket with a removable fleece inner jacket and removable hood which is perfect for adjusting layers. This jacket offers warmth, mobility, and a perfect fit for all-day comfort in the field.
Field & Stream 1871 Club Membership
If Mom enjoys reading in her downtime, she’ll love an 1871 Club membership, which includes a subscription to our new Field & Stream magazine. She can thumb through pages and pages of expert hunting tips, stunning photos, and inspiring stories from the field. Plus, with her membership, she’ll get early access to new products and experiences along with exclusive discounts.
Sightmark Solitude Spotting Scope
I did not know how much I would use a spotting scope until I got one. A must-have for glassing long distances, scouting prime hunting spots or using on the range, the Sightmark Solitude is a quality option without breaking the budget. I've been using it for a few seasons and love how clear it is and how easy it is to use.
Meater Pro Smart Meat Thermometer
Mom would be thrilled to have the Meater Pro wireless meat thermometer at her disposal, whether she’s smoking elk backstrap or grilling up venison steaks. Our director of commerce, Amanda Oliver, is a huge fan of the Meater—and has been for years. It has a long range, so Mom can keep tabs on her meat from anywhere, and it lets her know the current temperature along with the estimated cooking time.
Decibullz Wireless Custom Molded Earplugs
Whether on the range, in the duck blind or traveling, having your own custom molded earplugs is nice. These earplugs conform to perfectly fit Mom's ear and are plenty comfortable to wear for hours on end. Bonus: They also have Bluetooth technology so Mom can listen to her favorite music when she's finished shooting.
Avian-X LCD Turkey Decoy Combo
Avian-X makes some of the best decoys. If the mom in your life is a wild turkey hunter, gifting her with her own set will give her an edge when targeting those dominant toms. This combo of a 1/2-strut jake and breeder hen is one of the most popular. They’re incredibly realistic, sturdy, and easy to set up.
First Lite Furnace Long Jane Base Layers
First Lite makes some of our favorite hunting apparel for women. The Furnace Long Jane Base Layers are moisture-wicking and odor-resistant, providing ultimate comfort and warmth during long hunts, and are designed to fit to a woman's body (no shrinking and pinking it, here!).
Primos Trigger Stick Gen 3 Tripod
The Primos Trigger sticks are a must-have for any sportswoman’s gear collection. I have several and they have aided in convenience and precision. With a single pull of the trigger, effortlessly adjust the height to your desired level, making it ideal for both kneeling and standing positions. This lightweight yet sturdy shooting stick doubles as a gun rest and optical gear mount, providing versatility in the field.
Tidewe Hunting Waders
A good pair of waders belongs in every waterfowl hunting mama’s closet. This Tidewe pair is one of the more affordable options out there but they work just as well as a higher end wader. Amanda is also a mom who hunts and she loves these. They’re breathable yet fully waterproof and have plenty of storage space for calls and shot shells.
Traeger Pro 22 Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker
Whether she’s new to the smoking game or would love to upgrade her current setup, the Traeger Pro pellet grill and smoker is just what she needs. I use ours year round for all types of dishes. It is nice to not have heat up the house in the summer. I’ve made everything from bread to smoked briskets. Thanks to the precision temperature control, it’s effortless.
Shooter Buck 3D Deer Archery Target
Any archery hunter would appreciate the Big Shooter Buck 3D archery target. This transforms any backyard into an archery range, giving moms the gift of practicing without having to leave home.
Coast LED Hi-Vis Lighted Vest
I got my hands on one of the Coast LH150 lighted vests at SHOT Show 2025 and immediately placed an order for my whole family. This LED rope vest is so versatile and can be adjusted for size. It's great for the running mom for safety, family evening dog walks, for kids, or even for wearing around the campground—there are endless possibilities.
Southern Racks Scentless Shampoo
Scent-free shampoo and conditioner designed for women by women? Yes, it exists. Southern Racks was developed by a cosmetologist and is both sulfate- and paraben-free to protect your hair. This kit also includes body wash and lotion for added help staying undetected in the field.
Yeti Pour Over
Coffee is a love language. The new Yeti Rambler Pour Over is a great addition to any mama's outdoor dishware collection. Made with durable stainless steel, it can fit on any Yeti bottle or cup so she can have her coffee anywhere!
Garmin Instinct 2S GPS Watch
Of all the Garmin watches we’ve tested, the Garmin Instinct is arguably the best value. And it’s especially great for outdoorsy moms, with a fit specifically designed for smaller wrists. The rugged GPS smartwatch is water-resistant up to 100 meters and has tons of GPS and health-tracking features. As an active woman, I love the fitness components, too.
Women’s Treestand Safety Harness
Most treestand harnesses are one size fits most—however, they aren't designed for the female frame. It is worth investing in a tailored fit like this women's harness from Hunter Safety System for safety, comfort, and mobility.
Waterfowl Camo Phone Case
If you’re a hunter chances are you love camo. The case has a cute design of vintage leaf camo.
