Uncharted Rapid Raft packraft V2. Never used in the water, filled up a few times at home. Has the patch kit and extra buckle but not in the original box. It does take some technique to fill it up and close the roll-top opening tight enough to hold air for long periods of time.

Depends how he likes to hunt and what type of guns he's into, but if money were no object and shorter-range hunts for hogs or anything out of blinds is on the menu in the future, a nice double rifle might be an option.
Those can be frustrating but rewarding projects, or you can buy one already...
What did you build? I'm blown away by people who have the dedication to complete a homebuilt airplane.
My 2 cents:
I got a private license years ago and absolutely loved it. Joined a flying club and at the time it wasn't nearly as expensive even given inflation, etc..

Don't know if they would work in NW MT, but in SW MT caraganas grow pretty quickly and deer don't touch them in our yard. They take zero maintenance and make a nice, thick hedge.

I've had 10x42 and will look at 50s if/when I change.
Also, gives reason to consider 8x when looking at a smaller/compact pair.
I've never used Vortex and have friends who swear by them. Plus, it seems like they've developed a fire control system (fancy phrase for some weapon optics now a days in DOD**) for the next gen squad weapon. I hope they won the award vs it being a plus up from an Wisconsin congressional. If...
No and I regret it. They were shot mostly in the summer quite a ways off the road. Hope to get one in the near future and tan the hide, clean the skull.
