With Christmas coming up, stocking stuffers are a fun way to add a special touch to your holiday gifts without spending a ton of extra money. I love finding unique and practical items that are perfect for hunters, from essentials like Scent-A-Way soap and wool socks to fun extras like a Montana Knife Company knife and Sitka gloves. I've even included a few splurge-worthy (yet still small enough to fit in a stocking!) gift ideas on this list, like the latest Moultrie cellular trail cam and a Bushnell monocular. Whether you're looking for budget-friendly finds or a little something extra, a few well-chosen stocking stuffers for hunters can make their next day in the field even better.
Montana Knife Company Speedgoat 2.0
The Speedgoat 2.0 is the upgraded version of MKC's most popular knife, with a blade crafted from the highest quality 52100 ball bearing steel and a handle wrapped in paracord. Weighing just 1.7 ounces, this lightweight knife offers superior strength, control, and comfort and is built to last. Bonus: Like all MKC knives, it's made in the USA and hand-finished in Montana.
Sitka Fanatic Hunting Gloves
You can never have too many gloves. Sitka's Fanatic gloves offer an ideal combination of warmth and dexterity. The half-finger design on the forefinger and thumb allows for easy use of touch screens and trigger finger access, while the DWR finish repels precipitation to keep your hands warm and dry.
Coast WPH34R 2000 Headlamp
This was a top pick from my tested review, and is one of our top-selling products month after month. Hands-free lighting is essential, especially when field dressing and packing out at night. A reliable, waterproof, high-lumens headlamp—which is exactly what the Coast WPH3R is—makes it easier to navigate in the dark.
Yeti Rambler Bottle
Hydration should always be a priority in the field. The Yeti Rambler water bottle uses the brand's popular double-walled stainless steel construction that can keep drinks hot (or cold) for days on end. This particular model also has a convenient spill proof lid, so hunters can easily throw it in their pack without worrying about leaks or spills.
Moultrie Edge 2 Pro Cellular Trail Camera
It may be a bit of a splurge for a stocking, but the new Moultrie Mobile Edge 2 Pro cellular trail camera is worth it. I's packed with tons of advanced features, including on-demand controls, GPS capabilities, and Moultrie Mobile AI technology for identifying species and reducing false triggers. With 8GB of built-in memory and unlimited cloud storage, no SD card is needed.
1st Phorm Protein Sticks
Nothing ruins a hunt faster than a growling stomach. Plus, if you're trekking through the backcountry for days on end or packing out a massive elk, you'll need to be properly fueled. Enter these 1st Phorm protein sticks, which are made with high quality, lean meat and packed with 18 to 20 grams of protein per stick. They come in a variety of delicious flavors, including Original Smokehouse, Jalapeno Cheddar, and Cajun Style.
Rocky Talkie Mountain Radio
When you're deep in the woods or high up on a mountain, cell signal often fails, so having reliable radios you can count on when the time comes is invaluable. That's just what Rocky Talkie has made: a durable two-way radio with avid hunters in mind. We've tested the Mountain Radio ourselves and can attest to how good it is. Highlights include a shatterproof screen, impressively long range of 35 miles, and a battery life that can last more than four (!!) days.
Scent-A-Way Max Soap and Shampoo
Scent control is a priority for most hunters. Keep them stocked up on the essentials with this Scent-A-Way Max liquid soap and shampoo blend from Hunters Specialties. Formulated from natural proteins with an odorless scent, it helps hunters combat human scent that often remains undetected in the field.
Walker's Razor Muffs
Walker’s Razor electronic ear muffs are a popular choice for hunters when it comes to shooting ear protection. Not only do these comfortable over-the-head muffs pick up noise from 360 degrees around you, they also reduce sound for maximum hearing protection while allowing you to still hear what you need to hear. Whether you’re in the duck blind or zeroing in on the range, these are a great addition to any hunter’s gear collection.
Bushnell Legend Monocular
The Bushnell Legend monocular delivers clear views with its 10x magnification and compact size. The rugged, waterproof design ensures durability in any weather. With an easy focus system and adjustable eyecup, it's the ideal stocking stuffer.
Cabela's Lightweight Wool Socks
You can never go wrong with socks for Christmas. This synthetic wool blend features a cushioned bottom and breathable moisture-wicking fabric that's as warm as it is lightweight. These Cabela's socks come in sizes M to XL to fit any hunter's foot.
Rocky Mountain Hunting Calls
This triple threat of game calls—including the Big Raspy, Mean Raspy, and the Lil' Raspy—will be a game changer when it comes to calling in predators. (Not to mention these compact calls will fit perfectly in a stocking!) The machined, anodized aluminum calls perfectly mimic distressed animals and are built to last for plenty of seasons.
Rechargeable Hand Warmers
These rechargeable hand warmers keep hunters' hands toasty in cold blinds or tree stands. With three levels of heat and up to 20 hours of use on a single charge, they'll offer plenty more warmth than the disposable hand warmers they're used to. You won't hear the end of "thank you" for this one.
Streamlight ProTac 2.0 Flashlight
This powerful flashlight delivers 2,000 lumens with a 2.25-hour run time on high, making it ideal for any hunter. It features a tactical cap switch for easy one-handed operation, and a rechargeable battery pack for convenience. With an IP64 waterproof rating and a durable design, it's the perfect gift for any outdoorsman who needs reliable lighting in the field.
Gerber Gear Truss 17-in-1 Multi-Tool
A compact multi-tool is every hunter's best friend for quick fixes in the field—you never know when you'll need it. It's a must-have in every hunting pack. The Gerber Truss multi-tool boasts 17 tools in 1, including multiple pliers, a razor sharp plain edge blade and serrated blade, screwdrivers, scissors, and even a bottle opener.
Bushnell BackTrack Mini GPS
If you know a hunter who likes to venture into the backcountry, this pocket-sized GPS tracker can help them find their way back to marked waypoints and give them necessary data, like weather and time. Compact and easy to use, it’s a high-tech essential for safety. It offers up to 35 hours of use on one charge and features a rugged waterproof design that will stand up to the elements (and years of abuse being jostled around in a pack).
Thermacell MR300 Handheld Mosquito Repeller
Buy this now, thank us later. As a hunter, it is the worst sitting in a stand getting attacked by bugs. The handheld Thermacell MR300 is a lifesaver. It effectively repels mosquitoes without DEET sprays and has a large 15-foot zone of protection. I never leave home without this.
Otis Universal Gun Cleaning Kit
Otis is the go-to for all your gun cleaning needs. This compact universal gun cleaning kit—which works for rifles, pistols, and shotguns—has all the tools they need for keeping their firearms in peak condition, even after the season ends. Plus, it's all packed in a convenient soft case for easy storage or portability.
Deer Antler Bottle Opener
A unique novelty item like a deer antler bottle opener is fun and useful. After all, who doesn't love celebrating a successful hunt with a drink afterward? It's also a nice little addition to any man-cave or home bar.
Wiley X WX Sierra Sunglasses
The Wiley X WX Sierra sunglasses are as good-looking as they are functional, with shatterproof Selenite lenses that offer plenty of protection for shooting or hunting. These rugged glasses feature lens ventilation for increased airflow and side shields that can be set as removable or permanent. They're ideal for any serious hunter looking for durable, Rx-ready safety eyewear.
Athlon Midas 1 Mile G2 Laser Rangefinder
Every hunter needs a reliable rangefinder. Enter the Athlon Midas 1 Mile, which features advanced technology like angle compensation and scan mode for fast and accurate readings, even on moving targets. Its compact, rugged design makes it perfect for hunters and shooters who demand high-performance gear in the field.
Emergency Trauma Kit
Safety first! A small, portable first aid kit fits easily in a pack and covers injuries that could occur in the field. It's a gift that could really save a life in the future. And this one from Everlit Survival is not just your average first aid kit. This is a trauma kit ready to treat critical wounds and injuries—it even includes a 36-inch splint roll and a CAT GEN-7 tourniquet.
Solar Charger Power Bank
For hunters who use online maps or who rely on their smartphone when they're out hunting, this compact charger is a blessing. The 20W USB-C charging is super fast and capable of powering your phone from 15% to 65% in just 30 minutes. It's small enough that it won't add any weight to their pack, too.
Microfiber Lens Cloth
Whether for binoculars or a rifle scope, a microfiber cleaning cloth helps keep lenses clean and clear. This handy lens cleaning cloth comes in a convenient protective pouch. Simply pull the cloth out when needed and tuck it back into the pouch when done. It's a purely practical gift, yes, but one that will definitely come in handy.
Sawyer Premium Insect Repellent
Tickborne diseases are always a concern for hunters. Sawyer's Permethrin spray is an unscented treatment for clothes, tents, and gear that actually works against 55 types of pesky insects. Hunters can pretreat their clothes before heading out to the woods to help combat contact with ticks.
