Things can get messy in the kitchen sometimes, but this product saves me a lot of time and helps me create delicious meals with ease.

Trail Camera Accessories
Energizer Lithium AA Batteries
What kind of a gift are batteries? For hunters, it’s an awesome gift! Most trail cameras run on AA batteries and there’s no doubt that Energizer Lithium AA batteries are the best. Not only will they last longer, but they’ll save time, money, and effort in the field. Plus, who doesn’t need a few extra AA batteries lying around the house? The link in the title will take you Amazon, but if you have a Sam’s Club membership try this link to save more.
Sandisk SD cards
Speaking of trail cameras and trail camera accessories, you can never have enough SD cards. Buying online will save you a ton of money, especially if you pick up this five pack of 16 GB SD cards. SD cards are needed for trail cameras and it’s always a good idea to have several extras at your disposal.
Masterlock Python Locks
Nothing is more frustrating than going to check a trail camera and it’s missing. Most trail cameras are designed to use Python locks to secure them. They are a great way to protect Dad’s trail cams and his sanity.

Momma Needs AMMO
If your mom likes to shoot guns, whether it be hunting or practice, chances are, she could use some more ammo! Ammo shortages are coming, it’s only a matter of time, so you should consider stocking up while you can. Finding ammo on the shelf at your local sporting goods store might be nearly impossible in the blink of an eye, but thankfully there are plenty of online retailers that have you covered. Here are a few of my favorite online retailers for ammo:
Hunting Knives for the Outdoorswoman
Women need knives for outdoor-related activities but most probably don’t know how to sharpen a knife. I’m not being sexest, because I can’t do it either. I can put a quick edge on a knife but not a razor-sharp edge that the knife once had. As an alternative, you can switch to a replaceable blade knife, such as the Gerber Vital series.
Walker’s Hearing Protection
If you’re going to shoot guns, hearing protection is a MUST-HAVE. Walker’s makes some of the best hearing protection options for hunters and shooters, including traditional muff-style designs, as well as the new in-ear Silencer 2.0. Both are great options for protecting your hearing for years to come.
GunSkins
Let mom personalize her favorite gun with a beautiful Gunskin. Gunskins are easy to install and come in a variety of patterns to help you customize your pistol, shotgun, AR, or rifle! They have plenty of options to choose from and at a great price. To learn more about Gunskins, check out our gear review.
Mother’s Day Gifts $100 to $250
Reveal XB by Tactcam Cellular Trail Camera
This is a gift that any avid hunter will love. The Reveal XB by Tactacam is the most popular cellular trail camera on the market today. Finding one in stock will be tricky, so utilize this link to find one or ten! Cellular trail cameras have changed the game of hunting. There’s nothing better than receiving trail camera photos directly to your cell phone of a big buck in front of your treestand while you’re stuck at work! Cell cams are must-have!
Vortex Diamondback 10×42 Binoculars
The Vortex Diamondback 10×42 Binoculars set the standard for all-around hunting binoculars with the best combination of features and value. The Diamondback has the largest field of view in its class and does extremely well in low light. It also features enhanced fully multi-coated optics, phase-corrected prisms, waterproof and fog proof construction, soft tapered eyecups, and rugged rubber armor. Best of all, the Vortex VIP Warranty covers any damage at 100% for life! You can save big by buying them on sale now at Al’s Sporting Goods online.
Muck Boots
Muck Boots are a great investment whether you’re hunting, four-wheeling, or working on the farm. Muck Boots come in a wide variety of styles and colors as well. I’ll be honest, you don’t have to have camouflage boots to kill deer! If your favorite female hunter isn’t afraid to show off her feminine side, pick up a park or Muck Boots that are trimmed in pick or purple and she’ll love them! If girly colors aren’t her style in the whitetail woods, then pick up some camouflage boots that match your own. Heck, buy a matching pair for the kiddos and make it a family affair.
Dozen Arrows
Instead of buying mom a dozen roses this year, pick her up a dozen arrows or crossbow bolts. If you want to really show off, buy both and place the arrows/bolts into the vase, creating a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. You can create custom arrows/bolts as well, thanks to Black Ovis’ custom arrow building section called Arrow ID Customizer.
BOG Tripod
One of the best investments in accuracy is a BOG tripod. BOG has a large selection of tripods that are perfect for guns and crossbows. They have tripods where the gun/crossbow is fully supported, as well as models where it’s used to stabilize the weapon before the shot. The FieldPod and Deathgrip line-ups have been great! Be sure to check out our reviews on the BOG Fieldpod and the BOG Deathgrip.

Momma Wants a New Gun!
It’s no secret that women want guns for gifts, not flowers! So impress your mom this mother’s day and pick her up a new gun. Some ladies like a little splash of color to show off their femine side, while others want something camouflage to blend in with their surroundings. Choosing the right gun isn’t easy, but here are a few suggestions that many women like due to the reduced recoil:
- Shotgun: 20 gauge
- Centerfire Rifle: 7mm-08
- Straight-wall Rifle: 350 Legend
- Handgun: 380 ACP
Don’t forget ammo! Some of my favorite places to find ammo online are Palmetto State Armory, Brownell’s, and True Shot Gun Club!
