The Best Hunting Gifts for Moms (and Ladies Who Hunt)

The ideal gift should reflect their passion for the outdoor lifestyle and be valuable and meaningful — we must recognize women's impact and contribution to the sport of hunting. Mother's Day, birthdays, or any other day are perfect opportunities to find the ideal gift for that certain someone. There's nothing better than a piece of practical, high-quality gear that will last a lifetime. 

So, what should you get the mom, wife, sister, girlfriend, or other hunting ladies in your life? Don't forget: Mother's Day is coming soon! Here are some of the top hunting gifts for moms and women, covering everything from clothing to the latest gadgets and accessories. 

Every Woman Loves New Clothes

New clothes — even hunting clothes — can make any woman's day!

A decent hunting jacket with strong insulation, durable fabric, and breathability will always be a great option, as will a decent pair of pants. Multi-purpose insulating pants such as a midweight bottom are a great option as they're multi-use and can be great hiking or everyday pants in cool mornings.

For women's fits, Sitka gear is a great option. Cabela's also carries a vast range of ladies' hunting clothing. 

For camo gear, you can't go wrong with something from our partners at Blocker Outdoors, such as the Women's Drencher Jacket. This affordable and highly comfort-focused hunting jacket completely seals out moisture. 

Hunting Accessories and Tools 

Suppose your special person already has a complete camo kit and decent boots — there's no cause for alarm. New developments in accessories and tools are always available that can be made even more special with a personal touch. 

Knives are one of, if not the most essential part of any hunter's kit, so why not choose a custom knife from one of your favorite knife makers with an added engraved message for that personal touch? A quality set of optics, such as a decent rangefinder or binoculars, can also make the perfect present with a decent set lasting a lifetime. 

Finally, a durable backpack or hunting pack can make a great gift for ladies who hunt. You can fill it with extra goodies for a special surprise or customize it with a name or quote. 

Finally, for a fail-safe gift idea, a decent set of insulated, comfortable, and waterproof hunting boots for women is the ultimate hunting gift for moms. MEINDL consistently pumps out versatile and handcrafted hunting boots, including the women's range. 

Firearms and Bowhunting Gear 

A comfortable hunting sling is the unsung hero of hunting gear, providing comfort and protection to the shoulder and neck. A stylish and padded rifle sling can make a great gift idea, and similarly can be customized with some messaging or coloration. 

If you're shopping for a bowhunter, consider a new bow, custom bow sling, or upgraded broadheads. While still on a smaller scale, some bowmakers, such as Hoyt, produce compound bows aimed at female users with a lightweight frame and customizable cams for a shorter draw length. 

Additionally, maintenance tools, such as a firearm cleaning kit, can be a great gift idea for keeping her firearms in top shape. 

Comfort and Convenience Gifts 

Women's hunting gifts should also include things that help them stay comfortable in the field.

You can't beat a comfortable pair of merino wool socks, and whenever you think you've got enough, you can always do it with a couple of extra pairs. Consider battery-powered heated socks or gloves to keep her warm in the stand for those extra long and frosty morning hunts. You can find these at many online stores. 

Comfort and proper posture are also essential considerations during those long sits in a blind. Just like the socks, you can grab a heated seat cushion for those long winter sessions.

A thermo hunting mug or tumbler to keep hot coffee on those cold mornings can be a great gift, and for extra points, consider customizing it with a personalized name. 

Tech and Gadgets For Women Who Hunt

Even during the offseason, some elite gifts will give your special someone a way to connect with nature and keep the hunting passion alive.

Wireless trail cams are an excellent tool for tracking and scouting remotely, helping to build a profile of an intended hunting area.

In addition, an Elite subscription to HuntWise, which offers invaluable mapping insights, weather forecasting, tips, discounts, and a whole lot more, will help in the preparation of the ultimate hunting plan. 

Whether for YouTube or personal reflection, a small camera such as a GoPro can be a great addition to a hunt. It provides hunting memories as well as the opportunity to look back and revise any hunts for future reference. 

Hunting-Themed Lifestyle Gifts

Jewelry is also a great call to gift the ladies in your life, and there's an endless list of hunter-inspired choices, from antler-inspired necklaces to bullet casing bracelets or rings featuring outdoor stylings. These make a subtle yet meaningful hunting-themed accessory.

Hoodies, tees, and other clothing items customized with her name, favorite game animal, or funny hunting slogans also provide a subtle yet meaningful hunting-themed option. 

Finally, a wild game cookbook for ladies who like to cook can be a tremendous hunting-themed gift. Remember to write a personalized message on the inside front cover!

What Does a HuntWise Hunter Recommend?

Melisa Geleott, one of our HunteWise staffers and an avid hunter, knows about some of the best gear and clothing for successful hunts.

She says:

• A muff! This has been huge for me! I keep a hand warmer in my muff, which keeps my hands toasty and ready for the shot.
• Insulated/comfortable hunting boots (for cold weather hunting). The easiest and fastest way to ruin a hunt (in my opinion) is due to your feet getting too cold and not being able to move them. It'll end a hunt super quick if you're uncomfortable.
• Safety harnesses. For treestand hunting.
• Base layers. Moisture-wicking is a must!
• Hand or feet warmers/warming socks. Again, to keep feet warm during cold weather hunting.
• Headlamps. A must-have for getting in and out of your spot.
• Gear tree hangers/hooks. To hang a backpack, rifle, or bow.

Any of these recommendations from Melisa can make great hunting gifts for mom or ladies in your life who hunt!
