Finding the right gift is often a headache. However, if the or the gift is hunter, there are countless possibilities for small and large gifts - you can do almost nothing wrong, because hunters have basically never too much equipment :).
Hunting equipment is usually relatively expensive, but already up to about 50 euros there are some nice gift ideas with which every hunter can prepare a joy:
Hunters usually take 10-20 cartridges on the Ansitz or to the driven hunt. These are best stored in a small case, with loden or leather being the most popular materials.
When hunting, the hunting license must always be carried on the man, as well as the gun ownership card. Therefore, every hunter needs a sturdy case, so that the documents can be transported protected even in wind and weather. While most hunters have a case, having a high-quality one in reserve can never hurt - especially because the item is bound to wear out eventually.
It's a good idea to protect the scopes on hunting rifles. Some hunters have protective caps on the objective and eyepiece for this purpose. This would also be a nice gift, but you need to know the diameter of the scope lenses so that the protective caps will fit. Also, caps only protect the lenses and not the body. A scope cover offers more protection. This is a type of neoprene tube that can be stretched over the entire scope. This can be quickly pulled off during hunting use and also fits different scope sizes due to the stretchability of the material. Many hunters are a little picky about the manufacturers of their products - ideally the neoprene cover should be from the same company as the scope- simply so that "it fits together". If the manufacturer cannot be determined, because it would be strange to ask for it, a cover from a general hunting manufacturer such as Niggeloh will also work.
A good hunting knife can easily cost several hundred euros. However, knives are part of the absolute basic equipment for hunters, so it is safe to assume that the person giving the gift already owns a good hunting knife. However, it is almost impossible to own too many knives, as they wear out and sometimes one can be lost. A fairly inexpensive plastic hunting knife can be a useful addition to any hunting equipment, for example, the classic Morakniv hunting knife. The knife is very sharp and stable, fits perfectly in the hand and is easy to find in the field due to the signal color - if it is lost, it would not be a disaster due to the low price, if it were lost in the bush. Folding knives can be handy, but they are harder to clean than fixed blade knives, and therefore of limited use for prying.
Rifles are tools and are used, so over time they wear their marks from hunting. With new, noble stock woods there scratches in the surface can be annoying. That's why felt forend protectors are very popular with many hunters. Not only do they ensure that the forearm remains free of scratches for as long as possible, the rifle can also be placed more securely on a soft surface.
Even better than a forearm protector is a rifle rest, which can be placed on the edge of the raised hide. With such a rest, shots as precise as on the shooting range are no longer a problem. Entry-level models made of plastic are already available for around 20 euros.
Recovery aids are special belts, with which hunters can pull alone game, which would be too heavy to carry. The belts have special loops and game hooks - on the one hand to fasten the piece of game to it, on the other hand to be able to be packed by one or more hunters correctly.
In order to be able to transport a freshly killed piece of game cleanly in the car, a game tub is a sensible purchase for every hunter. A foldable tub can also be stored in a space-saving way when it is not needed.
In many Ansitzeinrichtungen is provided for sitting only a hard wooden board. In that case, a foldable seat cushion can be a real convenience upgrade. Good seat cushions also protect against cold, which is a challenge for every hunter's equipment from mid-autumn at the latest.
In a shot and hunting diary, many hunters document their kills and is actually a good gift for any hunter. Important to find out: The hunter should not yet keep a hunting diary, because otherwise a second one is of no use.
Cookbooks on the subject of game
Not all, but many hunters are also interested in the preparation of the game they have shot. As with hunting, in the kitchen it is always possible to learn something new. That's why even for already accomplished game cooks, a cookbook is a great way to expand your skills or at least get some new inspiration.
Whether for buckling or slightly higher quality models made of metal - there is probably no hunter who has not suffered from cold fingers. Pocket stoves made of metal can be powered either with fuel sticks or lighter fluid and keep reliably warm for up to twelve hours.
Subscription to a hunting magazine
Hunters spend their time at the hunting lodge waiting for game. Although attention is necessary for observation and the ultimate success of the hunt, many hunters bridge the waiting time by reading something - what could be more suitable than a current hunting magazine?
If the gift may be a little more expensive than 50 euros, we also have other gift ideas with which enthusiastic hunters can make a friend.
A heated vest keeps not only the hands but the whole torso warm. Especially for driven hunts, where freedom of movement is an important success factor, they are a good alternative to putting on several thick layers of clothing. Most hunters do not have a heated vest. Good models are available starting at about 150 euros.
If the hunter who is to receive a gift has his own hunting ground (and does not hunt exclusively as a guest), he will have often considered the purchase of a game camera. Maybe he already has some in use. However, as is often the case with equipment, a lot helps a lot - as a gift for a hunting ground owner, you won't make a mistake with a game camera. The most suitable models are those with their own SIM cards, which can send the images from the hunting ground directly to the cell phone. With such models you save the annoying reading of the SD cards and only have to drive to the camera to change the battery.
A real luxury gift is a thermal imaging camera, but entry-level models already cost around 2000 euros - a gift only for the very dearest. With a thermal imaging camera, game can be detected and relatively safely addressed even in the dark. Most hunters are enthusiastic about this relatively new technology.
On the whole, there are many gift ideas for young hunters as well as for old hands - for more ideas, we recommend simply browsing a bit on Gunfinder.
