Fathers Day

Okay since I have a new form to ask this question on. I'm tired of getting my dad the same type of stuff every year for fathers day. And when I ask I get the whatever you get will be great or I don't need anything. For all of use at the end of our shopping ropes anyone got some ideas that is within reason for what to get a hunting/gun/fishing dad for fathers day and/or birthday (they're only about a month apart for my dad). Help

So any ideas for gifts or things you've gotten in the past will be a great help.

Hey Tink, Does he have one of those pop-up hunting blinds?
What kind of fishing does he do? An assortment of Rapalas is always good.
How about a range finder? Bushnell makes some that aren't too bad in price.
How about bow hunting? Does he have Good arrows? Carbon arrows are good. Crimson Talon Broad heads. Maybe a new crossbow. Just a few suggestions.

Tinks, if you have difficulty working out what to get Dad, and if he's anything like my Dad and me, the easiest way is a gift voucher from his favourite hunting/gun/fishing store.

That way he is guaranteed of getting what he would like or needs.

Cheers, Vince

Well first off my father's day money is almost not there since I can't work this summer. So some of the stuff I want is a little more than I can spend. He does some fly tying and reloading. Has a range finder.

What do you all think of the camera/binoculars? I keep seeing them and thinking about it but now sure if they work good or not. And the people at most of the sporting good stores don't have clue one.

Buy Fireball a bunch of fly tying accessories then ?? Smile

Since you aren't working in the summer they are pretty cheap and if Fireball is like me I can spend a whole day fly tying and then wondering where the day went. Laughing

Good idea, now where can I order the stuff since our fly tying shop went out of business about 6 years ago.

Okay so I'm being difficult, sorry.

Bass Pro or Cabelas ?? Confused

I buy them from Bass Pro's store here near Toronto myself in person, mainly because they have the largest selection to select from. Smile

Hey, I only looked with one eye opened.
I see nothink' I hear nothink' an' I know nothink'. All I need for my B-Day is my family with me, an' maybe a 4lb tri-tip, some cool-aid, an' some salad. Toilet Claw
