Bag the perfect holiday gift Short of bagging the perfect 10-point buck, hunters can get what they really want for Christmas if gift buyers follow a few guidelines.
Stores are full of hunting and fishing equipment, clothes, gadgets, and games.
Some are needed, others useful and fun, but there are some that hunters and fishermen sincerely hope don't end up under their Christmas tree. Dean Stewart, an avid hunter and wildlife specialist with Mississippi State's Extension Service, said hunters and fishermen are very particular about the gifts they get. It's a good gift idea to get something related to hunting or fishing, but there are so many things available that it's sometimes hard to know what to buy. Stewart said the safest thing to do is to find out from the sportsmen what they really want. For example, if the hunter wants a duck call, learn the brand and type.
