There are few things more maternal than going out to hunt for food for your family. I happen to be a mother who hunts. When Mothers Day rolls around, I can tell you that more than a few moms would appreciate a day of peace and quiet in the woods.

　　When it comes to Mothers Day gifts, there are endless options that will help Mom enjoy her time there. Trust me when I say shell appreciate just about anything, but why not go big?

　　If you have a mom who hunts, get her something awesome to make her time in the field a little more comfortable, successful, and all-around better. Sure, get her a few bath bombs and some coffee, too, but why not throw in a killer jacket or a rangefinder?

　　Ive put together a list of hunting gifts sure to make moms giddy when Mothers Day rolls around.

　　Hunting Gifts for Mothers Day KUIU Guide Pro Jacket

　　Replacing last years recommendation of the Guide DCS Jacket, the new KUIU Guide Pro Jacket takes its place as just about the best dang jacket money can buy for your mom.

　　I wasnt sure Id be putting my DCS jacket away any time soon, but the upgraded PRO version has become my everyday jacket, as well as my go-to hunting outer layer. It fits like a glove and feels slightly lighter than the DCS. I also wear this jacket under/over my waders while Im on the river for maximum comfort, regardless of what species Im chasing.

　　That all being said, either jacket would easily become your moms favorite jacket, and in turn, you would easily become your moms favorite child.

　　Shop Now SD Card Reader/Trail Camera Viewer

　　Ill start out by saying I have like three or four of these card readers. They are cheap, and they work.

　　If you have a mom who is out pulling SD cards from cameras just to bring them home to offload images, and then trekking them back out into the field, this is the ticket. She can pull the card, upload all the images directly to her phone, and put the card back, all without leaving the base of the tree.

　　Aside from that, moms love taking pictures, right? This little card reader is slick and will let your mom snap wildlife photos on the big camera and immediately get them on her phone to upload to Facebook. If not as a Mothers Day gift, just get these for everyone you know and a few for yourself.

　　Shop Now Halo 3 GPS Dog Collar

　　Charlie and her Halo 3 Collar; (photo/Rachelle Schrute) Dog moms should not be counted out on Mothers Day. Im fortunate to have both two- and four-legged children. Few things have had a bigger impact on my pups than the Halo 3 wireless fence and GPS collar. We live rurally and dont have traditional fences. After a traumatic GPS collar test failure that almost led to the loss of one of our pups, Halo jumped in to keep all of my dogs safe.

　　Now, I can have the peace of mind of knowing they wont make it to the highway and they wont run off chasing birds out of season.

　　If your mom has hunting dogs like mine or just family members who happen to be of the fluffy variety, the Halo 3 Collar is the perfect gift that will allow her to relax just a bit more on Mothers Day.

　　Shop Now Gunner Kennels Food Accessories

　　Speaking of dog moms, Gunners G1 Kennels are what dreams are made of. Even my destructive pups are no match for these fortresses of dog containment. That, and if your mom travels with her dogs, it could mean the difference between life and death if there was an accident.

　　If a full-blown kennel is out of your budget, you could always get Mom the ultimate dog kitchen with the Gunner Food Crate and Dog Bowls. I have all of these items for my four-legged kids, and Ill acknowledge that they are not easy on the wallet, but they are rugged and work.

　　The Gunner Food Crate is awesome at keeping mice out of the food, particularly at hunt camp. It also contains smells really well. The Dog Bowls have a tight-sealing lid, and that has been the biggest perk I didnt know I needed. You can fill a water dish for your pups in the field, stop for a sip, and seal it back up without having to worry about leaks.

　　If your mother loves her dogs just about as much as she loves you (or maybe a touch more), shell love these.

　　Shop Now Benchmade Mini Bugout

　　The Bugout got a little sister, and Moms gonna love her. I didnt know how I would feel about a mini version of one of my favorite knives, but like a new mom, it was love the first time I held her. This isnt necessarily a hunting knife, but it is the utility knife that helps keep your hunting knife sharp for the important stuff.

　　The Mini Bugout is now in my jacket pocket, clipped on my waders, or in my pant pocket almost every day. It is the EDC we all need, mothers or not.

　　Shop Now Comfort Grip Drag Rope

　　This is another one of those cheap but handy things in the field that Mom will love. The Perfect Deer Drag makes the hard work of getting an animal out of the woods just a bit easier.

　　Its one of those products that might seem silly to someone who hasnt attempted to drag out a deer whole, but the ability to drag upright without straining your back, with a handle that doesnt cut into your hand like a traditional rope, is game-changing.

　　If you need something for the mom who lives by Multuss slogan, No Braggin Unless Youre Draggin, this might just be the perfect gift.

　　Shop Now Trelino Evo Toilet

　　(Photo/Trelino) I wasnt sold on the Trelino Evo Toilet when I was first pitched it for testing. Now, I get it, and your mom probably will, too. These little portable loos are great to have at camp, particularly when the temps dip and the snow flies. They seal liquids away and have a separate compartment for solids. Without getting too graphic, these lock away odors and are shockingly easy to clean.

　　If youre in a strictly pack-out area, these are amazing. If you have young kids at hunt camp who are in potty training mode, there is no need to break the momentum. I even use mine in an old dry cabin and I can attest, for a box that holds your well waste products, it does it well without the smell. (You can have that rhyme, free of charge, Trelino).

　　Shop Now Darn Tough Wool Socks

　　These Darn Tough Socks are, in my very tested opinion, the best womens hunting socks money can buy. I once had a buddy at deer camp ask if Id been wearing the same socks all week. Honestly, I probably could have been because these socks wick so well and have no odor. In reality, I just had the exact same version of a fresh pair every single day. I love them that much.

　　Though I tend to stay away from super-thick wool socks in the early season, these still fit the bill. They breathe really well and offer cushion for long days in the field.

　　If youre thinking about getting your mom a pedicure for Mothers Day, get her a pair of these as well. Her dogs will thank you when shes in the backcountry.

　　Shop Now Husky Liner Floor Mats

　　Whether your mom keeps a clean rig or essentially lives out of it during hunting season, one thing is probably universal: Moms who hunt are going to find themselves muddy. Keeping a car, truck, or SUV interior from getting ruined is a heavy task when youre a hunting fool. With Husky Liners Floor Mats, Mom wont even have to think about it.

　　Mud, snow, and everything in between can hop in the truck with her and be rinsed off later. Theres something oddly comforting about not worrying about what you carry into the cab with you.

　　Shop Now Knives, Arrows, and Ammo Lets cut to the chase: if you have a mom who hunts, she either needs another knife, more arrows, more broadheads, or more ammo. This is less a specific gift to buy, and more the overall idea. Think about the hunting expendable products.

　　Ammunition

　　Ammunition gets used. It needs to be replaced. A box of ammo is worth more than it used to be, and I know plenty of moms that are spending their hard-earned money on their kids and not on their ammunition stores. A box of Nosler Ammo, depending on how cool your mom is, might just bring a big ol smile to her face.

　　Arrows

　　If your mom bowhunts like I do, she needs new arrows. Thats just a fact. Arrows get broken, damaged, and lost. Be sneaky and go see which arrows she shoots. Make sure to note the weight and spine of the arrows shes already shooting. If shes got a grab bag (like I do), I happen to love the Victory Vaps.

　　Knives

　　A person can simply never have enough knives. Whether your mom is a master wild game cook or a master field dresser, she can always use another knife. I love the Stonewall Skinner from MKC. I also happen to love a quick and easy disposable blade knife like Outdoor Edge.

　　My newest favorite knife is Benchmades 4 Meatcrafter. If she does it up right in the kitchen, the Benchmade Station Knife is hard to beat.

　　How to Find Mothers Day Gifts for Your Hunting Mama How to Shop for Your Mom Moms work hard, and I think most of us dont extend nearly enough appreciation. If you have a mama who hunts, why not get her a hunting gift for Mothers Day? Im sure she puts a ton of thought into your gifts. Remember, Mothers Day gifts are not one-size-fits-all.

　　If your mom is a bird hunter, theres no reason to look into getting her a big game pack. At the same time, if shes a mountain elk hunter, a duck blind might be a silly gift. If you dont know the type of hunting she does, ask! What a great opportunity to learn more about what the woman who loved you first enjoys doing in the field.

　　Think Outside the Blind If you have a mom who has everything she could ever want and more, then this is the perfect time to step away from the shopping cart and into the field. Maybe it means planning a trip for the two of you (or more) to go hunt together. Perhaps you can set her up on a guided trip that shed never splurge on for herself.

　　The fortunate news about having a mother who hunts is you can always just go hunt with her. Remember those coupons you made her when you were a kid? Make her a Hunting Trip voucher. Shell love it.

　　Go With the Basics If you dont want to get it wrong, stick with the basics. Handwarmers, toe warmers, gloves, dehydrated meals, and all the little extras that get used up on a hunt make great gifts. You dont have to go big, just make sure to go thoughtful. Maybe make up a package of warm accessories or make her a gift basket of dehydrated field snacks and backpacking food.

　　Theres no need to take out a loan for a gift if you dont know shell love it. The good news is that everyone loves having warm fingers and toes. Keep it simple.

　　Why You Should Trust Us

　　(Photo/Rachelle Schrute) Well, to put it simply, I happen to be a mom who hunts with a lot of other moms who hunt. I know the products I wish I had in the field and the ones I could have done without. Ive also received some seriously questionable Mothers Day gifts.

　　Listen, your mom will love you no matter what you get her for Mothers Day, but why not get her something shell actually use and enjoy?

　　Now, if you wandered here by mistake and you have a mom who isnt the hunting type, I highly recommend checking our list of gifts for moms who fish. If shes at home in both the stream and field, you can definitely double-dip.

　　And dont forget, spending time with Mom doing something fun is likely the greatest gift of all. Leave your wallet behind and give Mom time.
