Hunting For A Great Father’s Day Gift? Give This List A Look
Like many of us who chase wild game, it was our dads (or those wonderful father figures out there!) who got us into hunting. With his guidance, we learned the importance of sitting still and being quiet in the stand, where to aim the crosshairs on a buck, and how to field dress a deer.
It’s because of Dad that some of our most cherished memories involve forests full of autumn leaves or echoes of turkey gobbles over green meadows. So, for this Father’s Day, why not get him some gear that helps support the pastime he shares with his kids? From meat grinders to newfangled GPS devices, we know these Father’s Day gifts for hunters will delight any camo-wearing dad.
Katadyn Pocket Water Filter
Make sure Dad has plenty of clean water on his backcountry hunts with the Katadyn Pocket Water Filter. The ceramic filter removes particles, bacteria, cysts, and parasites larger than 0.2 microns—including common threats like Giardia and Cryptosporidia—so Dad can drink with confidence. It also comes with two abrasive pads to keep the filter clean and working efficiently in the field. Plus, the silver-impregnated ceramic helps prevent bacteria from growing inside the filter, adding an extra layer of protection.
Game Winner Ultimate Hunting Chair
The Game Winner Ultimate Hunting Chair is built for comfort and durability, featuring a sturdy steel frame with a tough hammer-tone, powder-coat finish that stands up to the elements. The polyester seat with PVC backing provides a comfy spot to rest, while the camo pattern helps Dad remain undetected. It’s packed with convenient features like a large gear pocket under the seat, a side table with a shell pocket and cup holder, and a handy cooler bag with an easy-access flap. The wide mud feet keep Dad stable and prevent sinking into soft ground, and when it’s time to move, the chair collapses easily and includes a carry strap for grab-and-go portability.
Cabela’s Heavy-Duty Meat Grinder
First on our list of Father’s Day gifts for hunters is the Cabela’s Heavy-Duty Meat Grinder. This is a perfect gift for dads who take pride in processing their hard-earned game meat at home. The powerful 400W motor efficiently handles large quantities of meat which means Dad can process meat for his hunting buddies, too! The components include a durable aluminum hopper, feeder, and gearbox as well as easy-to-clean metal blades and grinding plates.
The three-way toggle switch allows for seamless transitions between grinding, stuffing, and reverse modes along with a cantilever-head release for added convenience. To prevent unwanted shifting, the grinder’s nonslip feet add stability while in use. Included are two #8 grinding plates (fine and medium), three sizes of stuffing funnels, a stomper, a stuffing star, and a pocketed dust cover.
Benchmade Station Knife
Complete Dad’s knife collection with the Benchmade Station Knife. Simple, reliable, and built to perform, this ultra-versatile kitchen knife was made to handle everything from field to table with ease. Thanks to Benchmade’s proprietary SelectEdge® technology, it delivers an incredibly sharp, precise cut that stands out in any kitchen.
Vortex Impact 1000 Rangefinder with HCD
The Vortex Impact 1000 Rangefinder with HCD is a perfect gift that can be used during gun and bow season, so Dad is covered throughout the whole year. This rangefinder is super easy to operate and includes angle compensation—perfect for treestand hunters needing precise horizontal distance measurements. The rangefinder is powered by a single CR2 battery and has waterproof and sturdy construction for reliable performance in any environment. Dad will absolutely appreciate the built-in features like diopter adjustment, an intuitive menu, and various ranging modes that provide accurate distance readings in yards or meters.
Garmin inReach Mini 2 Satellite Communicator
If you’re worried about Dad while on long hunts far from home, you can help ease everyone’s minds with the Garmin inReach Mini 2 Satellite Communicator. It is the ultimate solution for maintaining communication off-the-grid, designed specifically for adventures where portability is essential. This palm-sized device offers two-way messaging, posting on social media, and communication with other inReach devices in the field (mind you, this feature requires a satellite subscription).
In case of emergencies, Dad can trigger SOS alerts that connect him to the Garmin IERCC, a 24/7 professional emergency response coordination center. The device also enables location sharing, allowing Dad to track his whereabouts and share his progress with others (this also requires a satellite subscription). Additionally, Dad can access detailed weather updates and forecasts for his current location or other waypoints to enhance his safety and preparedness.
