Gift Ideas for Young New Hunter

[hillbillyhunting]

Hi All,

I would like to buy my niece something useful for Christmas, but on a budget.  She is a new hunter.   I have been watching for affordable quality binos on the secondary market, but haven't been able to pull that together.  Any other ideas?

Day packs are always good

Knife,  gps, compass,  pack,  waterproof gear,  boots,  rangefinder.   Lots of stuff!

What species is she mostly hunting?  That may narrow down some of the choices of gear she will need.

I got my 10 year old a,pair of vortex diamond backs for 129 last week at sportsmans.

So far she has just been deer hunting.

Maps, a nice compass, and a book on how to use them.

What about gifting next season's license and tags?

Any type of call is a good gift.  Most are in the budget.  May spark a new interest and provide an early start to refine the skill. I also think the License/Tag idea is great.

That's what I was going to say.

You can always go with handwarmers, snacks or fun stuff too.  That works if you don't know what they already have.

Girls like to be warm.

Gloves, hand warmers, butt pad, rechargeable hand warmer from Zippo. Also will charge her phone.
Good knife. Maybe with her name engraved on it.

If ya need something to put all this stuff in  this is a pack you could have for free to give her. Not a pricy hunting pack but it’s brand new and she might dig the camo. I’m in Arlington.

I always give my kids, neices and nephews a Buck 102 woodsman in their 1st year or so.

It fits those small hands and they always light up when they see a cousin with the same knife, it connects them.


Wish I could go back 23 years and have them all engraved. 

Reminds me I need to get 2 more!
