Gifts for Hunters: Blinds, Belts and Cold-Morning Gear

Most hunters already own the rifle, the bow and the boots they trust. The gifts that get used every season are the pieces around them: something to hide in, something to carry birds and shells, something to keep gear dry, and light and warmth for the dark, cold hours before shooting light. This guide sticks to six of those. Prices change, so check each product page for the current price before you order.

For the deer and turkey hunter

The 360-Degree See-Through Pop-Up Ground Blind is a pop-up hub blind with one-way see-through fabric on all four sides, so the hunter can see out while the camo face stays solid from outside. It has four noise-free sliding windows, brush-in loops for blending it into cover, fiberglass poles and a carry bag. Overall it measures about 82 x 82 x 69 in and weighs 15.5 lb, so it suits someone who hunts from the ground and has room to carry it in.

For the dove and upland hunter

The Camo Dove and Bird Hunting Belt with Game Pouch keeps shells, calls and harvested birds on the hips instead of in the hands. It has one large center game pouch and two side pouches, an adjustable webbing belt that fits over layers, a quick-release buckle and water-resistant construction in a reed camo pattern for grass and wetland.

For the waterfowl hunter

The Camo Roll-Top Dry Bag, 10 L is a 10-liter roll-top bag in green camo with a single shoulder strap. Roll the top down three times and clip it, and a phone, keys and a spare layer stay dry in the boat, kayak or duck blind.

For cold mornings in the stand

The Rechargeable Hand Warmer with Digital Display heats on both sides, shows its setting on a digital display and recharges over USB, so there is nothing to throw away after a cold sit. It is sized for a coat pocket. For more on choosing one, read our guide to rechargeable hand warmers for hunting.
