Best Duck Hunting Waders: Cabela’s Classic Series II Neoprene Boot-Foot Waders

While you could shell out $1,000 on a pair of Chêne waders or Sitka waders, this neoprene pair from Cabela’s is much more affordable—and some of the top-performing out there, according to our experts’ test of the best duck hunting waders.

Best Binoculars: Leupold BX-2 Alpine HD Binoculars

With more than 3,000 reviews, the KUIU bino harness is one of the most popular you can buy. Along with comfortable adjustable straps, it has an easy-open lid and a moldable case that will contour to any pair of binoculars.

Best Hunting Backpack: Badlands Superday Hunting Daypack

Of all the hunting backpacks our experts have used in the field, this one is the best overall. Not only is it compatible with both rifles and compound bows, the padding, adjustability, and contouring make it one of the most comfortable packs.

Best Rangefinder: Maven RF.1

Maven makes some of the best hunting optics—and its best-selling rangefinder is no exception. Dad will be impressed by the high quality imaging and 4,500-yard ranging capabilities. You can even get it engraved for a personal touch.

Best Hunting Pants: Under Armour Ridge Reaper Raider Pants

Outfit Dad with a pair of Under Armour Ridge Reaper hunting pants, which are lightweight and breathable yet durable enough to hold up in the backcountry and are designed to be virtually silent.

Best Under $50: Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener

One of the best knife sharpeners, this Work Sharp pick will likely become one of Dad’s favorite tools. It’s small enough to carry in the field and can quickly sharpen everything from pocket knives to fishing hooks (if he’s an angler, too).

Best Personalized: 737 Custom Duck Call

If you’re searching for the best personalized hunting gifts, look no further than a custom duck call from 737. Now through Father’s Day, you can get free engraving on the call of your choice.

Best Travel Mug: Stanley Classic Legendary Bottle

Available in three camo patterns—along with a handful of solid colors—this stainless steel Stanley mug is just what Dad needs to keep his coffee hot while he’s sitting in the stand.

Best Hunting Boots: Irish Setter MudTrek Hunting Boots

If Dad’s footwear is in need of an upgrade, gift him these Irish Setter hunting boots, which we dubbed the best hunting boots of 2023. They’re very warm and even more comfortable for trekking through the woods—and most importantly, completely waterproof.
