A better backpack... this last season was rough. My zippers were all jacked up. Anytime I wanted something outta my pack it was a 5min fix

Not sure what you have or what price range you get gifts but I am hoping to get some new game bags, books on hunting tactics, different lures / flys, Marino wool hunting clothing/socks, and i am a bowhunter so I love trying out different fixed broadheads to find out what flies best for my set up

I'm the same way so my wife says I'm hard to buy for......I guess that's true. I had 2 pair Superfeet Orange insoles and a new string set for the bow on my list so far. But I'm much better off getting those myself with discounts and knowing exactly what I want on the bowstrings, and who to order from. My wife wouldn't even know where to start for most the stuff I use.

I already replaced the Havalon I lost this year, and then found the old one under my truck seat. Picked up some more BH's to test out on some hogs. Can't think of anything else to put on the list. Gift cards don't work well for me. I still have an unused Bass Pro card from 2 years ago laying around somewhere.

Yeah it’s tough to find stuff I don’t want her to buy a bunch of stuff I’m not gunna use just so she can get something... I’ve got an archery range at my house and I’m already a member of the bha rmef nra and cda I guess some fishing stuff is a good idea I could use a nice packable fishing rod but keep the ideas comin im sure there a lot of guys in the same boat!

This is a good idea. But I will add that it should be to an organization that you’ll want to participate in. As the president of a local chapter for a hunting/conservation organization it can be frustrating looking st our member roster and seeing how many individuals actually show up to events and work parties.

I fall into this as well. Hence, my list consists of really expensive things that I don't have a need for or can't justify. Yet...

All the stuff I want I can't ask for, she would laugh at me when she sees the price

It's a strange predicament we have these days isn't it? We can't think of anything we need or want.

I sent my wife a link to the EE quilt sale and the specs I'd like. Then I always just have a list of misc. stuff that I keep on my Amazon wish list. I think random things on my list this year are heavier limbs for my Samick Sage, a few books, a micro stove to play with, etc.

interesting thread, I also have the same question

 

[Jd259]

Been doin some lookin around and am thinking about havin her upgrade my back country fishin set up... lookin at a st croix 4 piece pack rod paired with a okuma rtx spinning reel... it’s something I’ll actuall use and enjoy.

 

[Where's Bruce?]

Jeez...I have no such problem. I send an email with links to sales for camping, hunting gear, gift cards, tools, clothing, you name it.

What kind of hunting/camping gear and clothing??? That’s my question I honestly can’t think of anything I need/ want that falls into that category if I see it and like it I buy it and I haven’t seen anything lately that I “gotta have”..... I’m a backpack hunter and own just about everything I can think of that a guy needs...

I could use some new underlayers such as long-johns and undershirts. I tend to wear mine until there is no wear left in them. You should see my hand stitching on one of my current long-john sets. It aint pretty but it sure is strong!

I would like to go to Alaska, NW Territories, Yukon, or B.C. for a once in a lifetime hunt. Might never happen but I can dream. Moose, grizzly bear, and wolf. Sheep if I could afford it but the first three would be outstanding.

I usually struggle telling the old lady something meaningful that I would like as well. This I found something I wanted and I believe she is getting it for me. it's not really a hunting item but a remote start system for my truck what I came up with this year. I would rather buy my own hunting gear most of the time anyway since I try my hardest to find sale or used gear.

I could tell her what I need or want but she could go to find the stuff and see what I spend for everything. I guess a Cabela’s gift card sounds good again
