I have some little contraption that allows my trekking poles to lock together and form shooting sticks. Wiser Precision makes it. Pretty slick. Seated position, rifle on the sticks, pack under my chest and right elbow like a rear rest. Very solid.
I bought a zoleo for a backpack hunt above the arctic circle. Paid something like 200 or 250 for it, and think I had to buy a 3 month plan. Worked great. My wife was able to track me. Sent her check in messages daily. Peace of mind for her after me being stuck in a blizzard on Kodiak for 11 days...
I too did the crow res this year. Probably with the same guide. Great time. Very inexpensive. Killed a huge goat. Prices are going up next year though...

I agree, gifts are for the kids. My wife and I rarely exchange gifts, unless I surprise her with something. Same situation, if we want it, we just buy it.
How about an experience? Have her set up a trip somewhere you've been wanting to go. My wife doesn't know it yet, but we bought me an ibex...
