This Father’s Day, consider giving your dad the ultimate, with the gift of quality time spent together. You don’t need to buy an expensive gift for it to be a priceless gesture on Father’s Day. Offering your help with a task or project that needs to be completed is a way to give the gift of time. And, let’s face it, we can all use a helping hand once-in-a-while for uncompleted projects. Or, show up on your dad’s doorstep ready to cast a line into your favorite fishing hole.
With that said, if you are looking for great gift ideas for Father’s Day for the men in your life that love to hunt, here are a few suggestions.
Gift of Adventure
First, the gift of adventure is a great way to create lasting memories and give your loved one a way to either try something new or revisit a favorite pastime. Think of “bucket list” items like going on a dream hunt or gifting a travel voucher for a destination that your dad has always wanted to visit.
If your dad loves shooting sports, consider signing the two of you up for a National Rifle League Hunter match or attend a nearby Total Archery Challenge event together. This will help you both prepare for hunting season and have a great time together.

Kifaru Bino Harness
Most hunters and outdoorsmen have a plethora of bino harnesses. Some we like, others we hate. The Kifaru bino harness is the newest addition to the Kifaru family of 100% American-made packs and products. This bino harness has some well-thought-out features that your dad will appreciate on his next hunting trip. The construction leaves out magnets that are load and can mess with your compasses. The 6 pockets are all purposeful and large enough to store essentials. And, one of the most interesting features is the folding front pocket that will allow you to place your phone to allow for hands-free footage of hunting encounters.
Available in small, medium, and large to accommodate your dad’s binoculars. From $125.00
Optional accessories include: navigation pouch $50.00, range finder pouch $35.00
Tetra Hearing Device
The fact of the matter is that most hunters don’t wear hearing protection while hunting because we don’t want to take away from the hunting experience. Tetra Hearing is the world’s first hearing device with built-in Specialized Target Optimization, that enhances hearing for hunt-specific sound ranges that include waterfowl, upland, elk, turkey, deer, range, and multi-pursuit.
This is a technology that hunters both with and without hearing loss will enjoy the enhancement of more natural hearing while still protecting their hearing. Available in shield series, protect and hear, and amp series, enhance and suppress. Devices are available in custom or universal fit. Starting at $749.00
Trophy Ridge Digital React Sight

Rocky Mountain Hunting Calls – Elk Calls
Father’s Day is perfectly timed, before elk season to allow the archery elk hunter adequate time to polish up their elk calling skills before hunting season kicks off.

Personalized Gift
Or consider gifting your father a personalized gift such as a customized hunting knife, a leather-bound holster for his favorite sidearm, or a laser-engraved hunting photo on a wooden plaque.

This Father’s Day, show your father how much you love him and appreciate his passion for the great outdoors, hunting, and shooting sports.
