Over the years I have tried hundreds of items suggested to me by others, or things I have read about, some good and some not so good, and some down right bad.  Bowhunting is a game of "stuff", lots of stuff.  On this page I will list items that always have a place in any hunter/camper/mountain person's wish list.  I am not going to suggest brand name, but just gift ideas. 

Under the equipment section I am listing the manufacturing organization of equipment I use.  I don't recommend suppliers that don't make top quality items, or can't supply them in a timely manner.  These are reputable companies that stand behind their products and have for a number of years.  If we get information that any company will not stand behind their gear, I won't use them and they won't be listed here!

 Gift Ideas:

     -  camo clothing for men and women (no style suits all situations)

     -  boots (hiking, hunting, casual)

     -  packs (waist or day packs)

     -  sleeping bags and pads

     -  warm clothes (undies and coats)

     -  blinds for hunting out of

     -  small space heater for the blinds

     -  folding chair that does not squeek

     -  bug off that does not have odor

     -  comfy tree stand

     -  new bow, shotgun, rifle or muzzle loader (make it fit the shooter)

     -  sturdy golf cart for hauling equipment into the field
