Stocking Stuffers for Outdoorsmen

Wag’s Extreme Estrus Scent

Wag’s Extreme Estrus Scent is 100% deer. No fillers, no additives, just straight from the deer. This is about as simple as it gets for anyone. Use what is real, organic and found in nature and I’m sure that you’ll see more results. Speaking from experience this season, this stuff works. I had several bucks follow it in right on the trail. Read our full review of Wag’s deer scents here. You can buy Wag’s deer hunting scents here for $14.99

Oxygen Plus Mini Canister

Sometimes hunting can be tough on your lungs and brain. If you don’t want to slug coffee down all day, or want a little pick me up, try this mini canister from Oxygen Plus. The little oxygen blast will give you a clearer head, more energy and better focus while in the stand. Read the full Oxygen Plus Review here and buy yours on their site. 

JBL Clip Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

Fishing and doing outdoor activities are much more enjoyable (for the most part) when you can listen to some tunes. The JBL Clip Wireless speaker makes it easy. It simply clips to your belt loop, bag or anything else for that matter and you can rock out right from any bluetooth device. The speaker sounds great and is pretty loud.

Christmas Gifts for Bowhunters

Rage Hypodermic Broadhead

Rage broadheads have always been a personal favorite of mine and many of the MorningMoss staff use them as well. These are razor sharp, two blade heads that expand to over two inches wide leaving gaping entrance holes and massive blood trails. See the full Rage Hypodermic Broadhead review and buy your pack of Rage Hypodermics here for only $49.99.

Muzzy Trocar Broadhead

Fixed blade broadhead shooters sway towards one broadhead more than many others and that is the Muzzy. The Muzzy Trocar broadhead is one of the best fixed blade heads on the market. It flies as true as a field point and packs the sharpness and toughness needed to take down any large game animal. Read our full Muzzy Trocar Broadhead review here. These heads area also affordable and you can buy them here for only $29.99. 

Fighting Squirrel Bow Mount

Hunters have been looking for easier ways to film their hunts for years without dropping tons of cash on expensive video equipment. Not only does that cost a lot, but it’s a pain to haul up a tree. What if you could film your hunts with what’s already in your pocket? Here comes the Fighting Squirrel Bow Mount. The Fighting Squirrel attaches to your bow, comes in a variety of colors and holds almost any cell phone. You just push the film button when the deer walks out. Check out the full Fighting Squirrel bow mount review here and purchase your own for $49.99 on their site. 

Bow Hunting XMas Presents for the Serious Outdoorsman

The Mathews Creed XS bow is an amazing bow right out of the lineup of the world’s largest archery company. This is personally the bow that I choose to use and I’d recommend it to anyone. The Creed XS is a perfect hunting bow due to it’s compact size, fast speed and simple design. It won’t break down when you need it most and it’s deadly accurate.

Cold Weather Gear

Outdoor Research Stormbound Jacket

Hunters need warm clothes when they’re in and out of the field. Many of us also have other hobbies that we need jackets that can not only handle the cool weather, but can take a beating from ice and snow. The Outdoor Research Stormbound jacket is the perfect jacket for skiing, snowmobiling, snow shoeing and even ice fishing. It’s warm, lightweight and has many great features. Check out the full Outdoor Research Stormbound Jacket review here and buy your jacket for $495 here. 

Outdoor Research Stormtracker Heated Gloves

Heated clothing is popping up all over these days and while it’s all well and good, I can’t think of anything more important than keeping your hands warm. Cold hands don’t function and these gloves from Outdoor Research will make sure that yours do. With low, medium and high settings, these gloves can last up to 8 hours and will keep you toasty and moving along.
