Father's Day is almost here. Is your pops one of those guys that has everything, or when you ask him what he wants, you get, "Ah, I don't need anything," or a similiar response? This list will definitely help. We have shooting gloves, a cooler, a grill, boots, and lots more—from the affordable to the extravagant. They're all sure to make the old man crack a smile. Scroll through and get some ideas.

In England: £27.99; online: $45-$50 (macwet.com) Serious target shooters, high volume dove hunters, and any dads that shoot anything will love a pair of MacWet gloves for Father’s Day. Skin-tight and thin enough that you can easily pick up a dime while wearing them, MacWets offer exceptional dexterity. In fact, I am wearing a pair as I type this. Seriously.

Hailing from England, a famously damp island, MacWets are made of Aquatec fabric that both wicks moisture and retains its gripping power when wet. I have worn mine shooting on days both dry and very rainy and they perform exactly as advertised. They are so thin that at times I really have forgetten I had them on as I was... [ Read Full Post ]

How much would you pay to own a knife carried by a Navy SEAL on the raid in Pakistan that finally took Osama Bin Laden off the Most Wanted list?

One auction bidder thought $35,400 was the right price for this history-laden folder (an example of the knife model is pictured above).

According to ABC News, the knife is an Emerson CQC-7B, a model popular throughout the Special Forces, and was carried as a secondary blade by a former SEAL Team Six member, indentified by his author pseudonym Mark Owen. He's the same retired SEAL who wrote the first-hand account of the mission, "No Easy Day". (The New York Daily News has reported Owen's real name is Matt Bissonnette.)

The 4-in-1 Woodsman is a tool perfectly designed for deer camp. It combines a hatchet, saw, mallet, and a stake puller into one easy-to-carry implement. Converting it from hatchet to saw is easy, and the ingenious hatchet sheath also serves as the saw handle. To switch back to the hatchet, simply stow the blade in the handle, then loosen the sheath. Kindling is just seconds away.

Avian-X Strutter Decoy

$120; avian-x.com.  Outside of taxidermy decoys, Avian-X LCD inflatable turkey decoys are as realistic as it gets—just what you need when trying to fool late-season longbeards wary of rubber-chicken lookalikes. This new strutter works with a real fan, weighs 4.8 pounds, and comes with a carrying bag for run-and-gun hunting. It’s 15 percent smaller than your average real tom, too, making it less intimidating to subordinate birds. Hey, some of us like to shoot jakes. —Will Brantley

When you’re ready to fish, grab the tray you need, snap it into the box, and you’re ready to go. The ventilated FlyPad allows wet flies to air dry, and you can purchase extra fly boxes or trays configured to hold all different kinds of flies. —Joe Cermele

The question is not so much what you’ll be hunting as, will you be in bear country? I have hunted caribou in Alaska with a .270, .270 WSM, and 7mm Weatherby Magnum, and all three did fine. Except that, on the hunt where I had the 7mm, I was checked out by a young boar grizzly, who seemed to find the guide, my friend, and me mildly disappointing and wandered away. If he had been a mature boar grizzly, I might have wished for a much bigger rifle.

I’ve known, personally, two guides who had to kill bears (one a brown, the other a grizzly) who were trying to do the same to them. One guide did the job himself with a .416 wildcat. The other guide had a .44 Magnum revolver, and the attack took place very suddenly over the disputed carcass of a caribou. The guide told me that if his client had not stood his ground and shot very quickly and very accurately with a .338, he might not be there to tell me the story. [ Read Full Post ]
