The best place to shop for hunting gifts is going to be where hunters, fisherman and outdoorsman usually shop. Here at DeerHuntingGuide.net, we are a team of hunters and fisherman. Here is a list of all of the websites that we typically shop at and buy our hunting and fishing gear.
Big Box Online Stores Shopping For Hunters And Fisherman
- Amazon - Amazon is world's largest retailer and a good place to shop for hunters. One word of caution. If you are buying more expensive gifts, it is best to buy from a more reputable source. There have been instances of counterfeit items purchased through Amazon. If you are buying a $300 raincoat, we would recommend buying direct from the manufacturers website. Those are also listed below.
- Bass Pro Shops- There isn't a hunter or fisherman alive that can drive by a Bass Pro Shops without wanting to go inside and shop for gear. Not to mention that these are the coolest stores ever, with all of the animal mounts and huge aquariums to watch the fish in their natural habitat. You can't go wrongshopping for hunting gifts online at Bass Pro Shops.
- Cabelas- Cabelas used to be the "Foremost Outfitter", but they have been bought by Bass Pro Shops, so now you are best off to buy all of your hunting, fishing and camping gear directly from Bass Pro Shops. Cabela's is still around and they have all of the same products as Bass Pro.
- Aventuron- We love shopping at Aventuron. They carry a lot of outdoor gear that is difficult to get at other online stores. They are very reputable with awesome customer service.
Buy Direct And Support Small Business In America
- Buck Knives - Buck Knives are the epitome of a great american company. Started in 1902 by Hoyt Buck, today they employ over 300 Americans creating the best hunting knives in the world. When you combine the American craftsmanship with Buck's Forever Warranty, you will have a hunting gift that you can be proud to give and the recipient will be handing it down for generations to come.
- Kuiu Hunting Clothes - Kuiu is another great American company that we are proud to support. They produce some of the best hunting clothes on the market today and are used extensively by our staff of hunters here at DeerHuntingGuide.net.
- Sitka Gear Hunting Clothes - Sitka Gear is a relative newcomer to the outdoor clothing market. Founded in 2005, Sitka Gear has quickly become legendary and the go-to manufacturer for the best rain gear and outdoor gear in the industry. Sitka Gear is expensive and we recommend buying directly from the company to avoid issues with counterfeit gear.
- Darn Tough Vermont Socks - Darn Tough makes some of the best socks available today and they still make them in Vermont, with wool from their own mill in Northfield Vermont. These are American made socks and we are super proud to support the American workers that make them.

Another example of a great American company that we are proud to support.
- ScentCrusher Hunting Gear - ScentCrusher is based in Wichita Kansas and uses NASA based research to create products that use ozone generation technology to remove scent from hunting clothing, hunting gear, even from hunter's cars. We use ScentCrusher products all year long to keep our gear and vehicles scent free.
Those are some of our favorite American small businesses that we like to support when shopping for hunting and fishing gear.
Hunting Gift Shopping Tips
Finding the perfect gift for hunters doesn't have to be difficult, but there are a few things that you should keep in mind when shopping for a hunter.
What Does He or She Like To Hunt?
There are plenty of hunting gifts that will work for hunters regardless of what they like to hunt, but if know specifically the type of hunting they do, you can narrow down the gifts and get them something tailored to what they like.
For instance, if they are an upland hunter, you can get them a pair of briar proof pants that will save their legs from cuts and scratches when they hunt. But those would not be appropriate for a deer hunter.
On the flip side, what would a rabbit hunter do with a tree stand?
You get the idea.
The better you know your hunter, the more meaningful the gift will be.
Buy American Made
We can't stress this enough. Building and maintaining an American company is more difficult than ever and the least we can do as outdoors people is to support American workers and American companies. They make some of the best hunting, fishing and outdoor gear on the planet and many of the products they produce would make great hunting gifts.
Do the Research!
There is no excuse today for not doing the research necessary to find the best products on the internet.
Read the reviews and Google search for the best product in the category that you are looking for.
Just open up Google and type in the search bar, best tree stand, or best hunting binoculars and with a little looking around, you will find real reviews by real hunters. Don't be fooled by the many marketers out there trying to sell you the products that make them the most money.
You can find REAL HUNTERS like us here at DeerHuntingGuide.net that provide REAL REVIEWS on products that we actually use!
