Top Father’s Day Gifts for Hunters

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.

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.

Speaking of campfires, Dad could probably use some new cookware this Father's Day. The Long Handle Wok from Barebones is made of heavy-duty 12" rolled steel with a hand-blued finish to resist rust and corrosion. The extra-long 18" walnut handle offers added safety when cooking over an open flame. The hand-blued steel ring base keeps the wok stable and in the perfect position, whether it's on a stovetop or directly over the fire. Dad can also turn the wok into a portable grill by placing briquettes inside the ring.

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.
