12 Days of Christmas - Outdoorsmen Gift Guide

I always laugh when I get a phone call from a panicked wife, girlfriend or sister, asking that dreaded question of "what should I get him for Christmas?". Honestly, I laugh only because I have the same issue when it comes to thinking of something to get Casey! The problem is that most outdoorsmen, buy what ever they need or want, whenever they need or want it. More often than not, they never wait, and end up just buying it on the spot. This makes it very difficult for the women in their lives to get them something that they don't already have. I've decided to compile a list of items that I have gotten Casey in the past. Maybe this list will help instigate an idea for a perplexed woman trying to find the perfect gift or maybe it will give our guy followers a few ideas for their wish lists this year. So over the next 12 days, I'll post a new idea each day and most of these items can be easily found online, so that will make your shopping even easier! Good Luck and Merry Christmas!

Day 3:

When hunting is your job it becomes difficult to view it has a sport, hobby, or leisurely past time.  Like any job, it can become mundane, ordinary and sometimes even wearisome. So when it comes to our own personal pursuits, when we take the time to head outdoors without guests, we try to liven up the occasion by pushing ourselves to our highest limits; longing for a personal challenge! Taking off on foot has been one of the most effective ways to liven up our hunting experiences. Packing miles into the deepest canyons or up to the highest peaks has enabled us to remember the joy of the hunt and our passion for the outdoors. The only hiccup with this particular style of hunting once an animal is successfully killed, when you are miles away from base camp, is the fact that you have to pack that animal all the way back...This can be more than a challenge and sometimes almost impossible, unless you have the right equipment!

There are no if, ands or buts about it! We could not meet this challenge without the help of two very important tools: (1). Our Eberlestock Packs and (2). Our Bull-Pac Pack Frames! Both are the best on the market if you ask me! The Eberlestock Packs help us carry all of our gear, including our rifles or bows, in the most comfortable way possible and the Bull-Pac frames are the easiest way to pack our game out of the field. Either one of these would make a great gift for any kind of big game hunter!!!
