Ok, time for ideas. Let's eliminate knives, broadheads, arrows, flashlights, headlamps. What do you have that makes a difference that would be a good gift. What you
would you like...never know who will read this. Oh, keep it in the hunting and outdoor category.
Got all things you listed, but can always use more tapered Maple shafts. Check produce review for a great headlamp.

Wool socks

Good thermal underware. The elastic waste always seems to ware out too soon.
