May 05, 2025 By WILDFOWL Staff

Father’s Day is always a special day. We owe a great deal of gratitude to those father figures that helped introduce us to the outdoors and the sport we love so much. The problem is, most dads have a nasty habit of buying whatever they want, whenever they want. That’s why we have tried to help you out with some great gift ideas for dear old Dad. Whether it’s something to help in the duck blind, around the house, or hanging out in the backyard with family and friends, a gift from this year’s Father’s Day Gift Guide will be sure to get you back on top of Dad’s “favorite” list.

Camp Chef – Gridiron Gameday

Breakfast in the duck blind makes even the most miserable hunts bearable. This little camp stove from Camp Chef is perfect for a boat, a pit, or to keep in the truck for a mid-morning break when the birds stop flying. Designed for easy set up and operation, the Gridiron Gameday comes with a pre-seasoned griddle, a slim, compact design for easy storage and adjustable leg levelers for stability. This thing is perfect for your old man to take with him to the duck blind or on your next camping trip. Wherever your dad goes, this will be a great companion to keep the hot meals cooking.

Rig’Em Right – CampHunter Chair

A good chair is like a coffee mug—when you find one you like, you don’t use anything else. The CampHunter chair from Rig’Em Right is the ultimate all-around hunting, camping, lounging, sit at the kids’ baseball game and try to relax folding chair. You can take this thing to the goose field and set it up behind the panel blind, or you can take it with you on your next camping trip and use it as you sit around the fire. One way or another, we can guarantee your dad will love it! Made with 900D polyester fabric, and coming in GORE OPTIFADE Marsh, Subapline, Timber, or RMR’s classic old-school brown camo pattern, this chair is perfect for any situation your dad might need to sit down and relax.

YETI – Cast Iron Skillet 14

Sipping bourbon, mowing lawns, changing the oil—there’s a list of things of things that all dads do as they further in the ranks of fatherhood. One of those things is cooking with cast iron. There’s no denying a good cast iron skillet makes the best meal you’ve ever tasted. That’s why the new YETI 14” skillet is a top-tier gift for Father’s Day. The skillet is polished, pre-seasoned, and makes cooking and cleaning easier than ever. With an upper handle and dual pour spouts, this skillet will be your dad’s new best friend. Ready for use in an open fire, a stovetop or oven, this thing is perfect for whatever new recipe your pops wants to try. Maybe that garlic seasoned duck and cheesy potato skillet might turn out pretty good if you buy him the right cast iron to cook it with!

Plano Outdoors – Sportsman Trunk

Plano orange Sportsman Trunk. — Plano Sportsman Trunk.

No dad in the world can have enough totes, containers, bins or trunks. The more gear a father accumulates, the more manufactured space he needs to put it all in. We can promise not a single father in the world will ever complain about another container to help keep things clean and organized. That’s why the Plano Sportsman trunk is a fantastic option for you to give to your dad this year. Coming in sizes small (56 Quarts,) medium (68 Quarts) and large (108 Quarts,) there’s a size for whatever dad may need. Give your father the gift of durable storage and organization this year—because we all know that’s something he can never have enough of.

The Provider Rubs & Spices – Fowl Rub

There is nothing better than a good dry rub. When you find a good seasoning for game meat it’s like finding a good hunting jacket—you better buy two just in case. The Provider Rubs & Spices have become a fan favorite here at WILDFOWL with the Fowl dry rub. A maple flavor with hints of smoke and citrus; it’s just like it says on the front of the bottle: “It’s duckin’ good!” If you have a dad who likes to grill or smoke meat, which is probably just about everyone reading this, you can’t go wrong with this dynamite rub for not only ducks and geese, but whatever meat you choose to put it on.

Legendary Gear – Alpha goose call

We’re all waterfowlers, and nothing is better than getting a new goose call. Regardless of if we need one or not. No one is going to complain about having a new call to play around with, especially when the call runs as well as George Lynch’s Alpha. If your dad is someone who loves to hunt honkers, we can promise he’ll love this call. Designed to have all the range needed for all Canada geese, this call can be tuned light, medium or heavy to hit whatever notes needed to get birds backpedaling over the decoys. Move over boyo, with this call on the lanyard, Dad’s the pitboss again!

If your dad is one who likes to dress well, work hard and look good doing it, this is the shirt for him! Designed to be worn to business meetings, and durable enough for any outdoor project he may want to take on, this shirt is perfect for the father who takes “business casual” to the extreme. Made from a durable high-stretch nylon, this shirt offers comfort without wearing out. Whether it’s needed in the office, on the jobsite or just to wear around the house, your dad will thank you for such a comfortable, professional looking top. Color options are stone, navy, khaki and gunmetal.

MOJO – Pick Stick Pro

Picking up spent hulls at the end of a hunt is the responsible thing to do, and every hunter should make sure they do so. However, doing it by hand isn’t the easiest thing in the world. That’s why the MOJO Pick Stick Pro has become a must-have among wing shooters. It’s a magnetic pole that allows you to easily pick up your spent hulls and leave your hunting area as clean as you found it, without the hassle of having to bend over and pick everything up by hand. It even has a sliding sleeve so you can easily rake off the attached shells into whatever you’re using to dispose of them. This is a great gift not just for fathers, but for all hunters that take a shotgun out into the field.

Bow & Arrow Outdoors – “Grow With You” hunting gear

Bow and Arrow Outdoors Grow With Me hunting gear for kids.

All of us at WILDFOWL have entered the ranks of fatherhood. Some are more seasoned fathers than others, but we all share the same common interest: getting our kids outdoors. Bow & Arrow Outdoors was created by Camille and David Kent, from Louisiana. Raising two kids of their own, they decided to create a hunting line of clothes that can be adjusted and easily fitted to grow with your kids. There is nothing that would make Dad or Grandpa happier than a gift that allows them to get their kids outdoors and in the blind with them. We can all speak from experience by saying that a gift like this is one that any father would love, because it truly is one that keeps on giving.

Banded – H. E. A. T. Insulated Vest

Fathers are big vest guys. Especially those dads who enjoy the outdoors. What better vest than one that looks good and keeps them warm on the coldest days in the blind? Coming in color options of either Spanish moss, or black, this vest serves as a mid-layer liner with Banded’s Tri-Zone Heating technology. There are two heating elements in the chest and one large element in the back with three adjustable heat levels. Not to mention, this thing comes with an integrated iPhone charging cord in a zip up pocket. This vest truly is a “do-all” article of clothing, and your dad is sure to love it!

Streamlight – Wedge XT EDC Flashlight

One can never have too many flashlights. There is always a handy use for them. We’ve had to use flashlights to assist us in in-field fixes on our shotguns—and not in a way that you’d expect. We didn’t night light, we needed more of a hammer. That’s why were lucky we had a Streamlight Wedge XT on hand. They’re extremely durable (we proved that theory,) convenient to carry, and when you do need to illuminate the dark, they light up like a high beam on a semi. For such a small little flashlight, this little bugger cranks out 500 lumens on high setting, and 50 on low. It features a deep pocket carry clip and is USB-C rechargeable. We can promise that Dad will like this one!

Irish Setter Boots – Setter Fifty

Help dad up his style game with the Irish Setter Fifty boots. They’re like walking on air during travel, and easy on and off with the pull loop and stretch collar. We have tested them for months (the black ones, getting lots of compliments) and concluded they are the best camp/travel shoe around, great for sprinting through airports and kicking around town. And, bonus, you can hunt in them if the airlines lose your luggage like our editors constantly suffer through, without looking like you’re new to the sport.
