Well, here we are staring down the barrel of the holiday season. With big game season rapidly coming to an end, waterfowl seasons in full swing and all those small game, scouting and shed hunting activities around the corner what are the best gifts for hunters? We have some suggestions on the best Christmas gifts for hunters on your list.
We will look at a few of our partners here at Infinite Outdoors that have offered us some great discount codes for our members and a few that we have used with great success in the past year. We will look at all the price points for the best gifts for hunters list, to cover every budget and anyone on the naughty or nice list.
With that in mind let's jump right into
Coffee is the best place to start anything, or is it? Well, our friends at MTN OPS wondered that same thing and answered that question with a “No”. Hot Ignite is a coffee replacement drink that is great for everyday use both in the field and at home.
Hot Ignite Improves focus, increases mental clarity, and gets more out of your day with smooth, long-lasting energy. With a proprietary blend of Amino acids, Nootropics, and all the other good stuff this delicious energy drink is meant to give you all the ups of coffee with none of that crash.
Whether drinking it before setting up decoys for incoming birds or as a nice pick me up before a long winter pack out Hot Ignite has a flavor to fit your tastebuds. When that duck blind or goose pit get bone-chilling cold and you’re dealing with a level of discomfort reserved for hardcore outdoors folks nothing beats a hot drink to keep you sharp and shooting straight.

Speaking of Waterfowl Hunting, the folks over at Alps Outdoorz have brought some awesome offerings to their lineup to help you get the drop on those Ducks and Geese you’re chasing throughout these upcoming winter months. Between Blind Bags, gun cases, dog accessories, seats, and blinds, there aren’t many things they don’t offer for your waterfowl habit. We got a chance to team up with them, and we are so happy we did.
A blind, whether it's a quality layout or a good A frame style, can be a significant investment and home away from home for any Waterfowler. Luckily, ALPS OUTDOORZ offers excellent options for both. The Alpha Waterfowl Blind is an A-frame style blind that was designed for optimal concealment, function, and environmental adaptability. With super durable materials and spacious design, this thing is ready to deliver a premium hunting experience at a reasonable price.
On all accounts, this blind is spacious, comfortable, and set up for serious hunting. They also offer a snow cover for it, which can be a tough find for some other blinds. With a weight of 39 pounds and the ability to house four adult hunters this blind delivers on many levels.
Winning Popular Mechanics “Best Blind For Waterfowl 2023 Award” the Alps Outdoorz Legend Layout Blind is one of the best blind options for a solo hunter. With available snow cover and multiple camo options, this blind will keep you hidden and comfortable when you’re waiting for those birds to cup up and come in. This blind has a patented chair design, solid construction and is very easy to brush, stubble or grass in for those high-pressure birds.

Some of my favorite things about hunting are all of the preseason activities that lead up to the season, and for year round use it’s tough to beat getting excellent optics under the tree. From Scouting, Hunting, Range use and Shed hunting good optics are a necessity and Athlon is sure to have the glass for your eyes, use case, and budget.
I was impressed with Athlon from the first seconds I looked through an Athlon Aeries at a target 850 yards away when shooting with a friend and his 6.5 Creedmoor. They have only gotten better from there. The glass and construction of these fine optics are engineered to punch above their weight on a bang-for-buck scale, constant innovation also helps set Athlon apart.
A great spotting scope can make or break a hunter's opportunity at those hard-earned trophies. In 2023, Athlon delivered their Cronus G2 UHD 20-60×86 45 DEGREE spotter and changed the game for that sub $1300 pricepoint. With UHD Glass, the Cronus G2 provides enhanced contrast and helps separate your subject from its background. The XPL coating helps protect that amazing clarity and definition from scratches and intrusion from foreign bodies. What a great addition to your hunting tool belt.
With the Infinite Outdoors Partnership, Athlon offers up to 50% off products for Infinite Outdoors members.
And finally, if you need to make a big bang for your favorite hunter's gift for Christmas, we are here to tell you about some offerings from the geniuses over at Weatherby. Wyoming has been good to our friends over at Weatherby. Between opportunities to have some of the very best hunting at their doorstep or to feel more free to produce their revolutionary firearms the Cowboy State seems to be the place to be for them.
The Weatherby 307 is named after the Area Code of their new Equality State home, and the newest rifle to the ever-expanding line up. This Model 700 pattern rifle delivers in ways that no previous Weatherby can. It all starts with the action.
The 307 will fit into, with, or to most after-market support for the venerable Remington 700. This leads to a level of customer-focused customization that wasn’t in the cards for Weatherby before the release of this gun.
Moreover, although patterned on a 700, don’t let that fool you. This gun is guaranteed to shoot sub-MOA. Has a bolt release on the side of the action for easy takedown and a tooless takedown bolt. The 307 also sports a Triggertech Trigger, which is adjustable down to 2.5 pounds, two lug bolt and an M16-style extractor. This gun is accurate and reliable.
While you’re checking out that 307 check out their Mark V High Country, we had a first look at a hunt with that rifle and we will be sharing that experience soon.
So, there it is our list of best gifts for hunters. We hope we delivered some ideas, insight, and inspiration. Whether it’s a morning cup of Hot Ignite in your Alpha Blind or a late season Rifle hunt with an Athlon on Your new Weatherby, we would love it if you brought us along on the adventure by sharing your story with us and using our innovative app to get the private access to put these gifts to good use. Shoot Straight and Be safe!
