13 Best Gifts for Duck Hunters
The first present that may come to mind is a duck call, and the best thing is, they never get old. A duck hunter can use the best duck calls to add to their lot or to upgrade and toss out an old one.
You can get creative with a gift and think outside of the box by buying a duck-themed item that your hunter can use every day – and get a laugh out of it too!
1. Pro Series Duck Call
- REALTREE CAMO PATTERN: Realtree Max 4 camo pattern keeps this call hidden in the blind
- DURABLE AND LONG LASTING: Made of high impact & tough plastic
It’s a double-reed, Tiger-wood, easy-to-use duck call that’s part of the Jase Robertson Pro Series that every duck hunter can add around their neck. The Duck Commander Jase Robertson Pro Series Duck Call is said to be the brand’s easiest duck call to blow that they’ve released to the market. The only way to know is to give it a blow, right?
Naturally imitating the mallard hen, you can go from high, desperate, and piercing calls in the open marshes to lower and raspier grunts in the flooded timbers.
2. Resin Duck Salt & Pepper Shaker
- Crafted by Hand: Meticulously hand-painted to achieve a vibrant, detailed design of an adorable mallard duck for a fun, unique accent piece on your kitchen counter or...
- Exceptionally Durable: The salt and pepper shaker set is crafted with high-quality poly resin for easy cleaning and durability; professionally coated with paint for a...
The River’s Edge Salt & Pepper Shaker isn’t just a cute, decorative piece to put on the counter of your hunting trailer or even in your kitchen. The duck comes in around 7.5" (H) x 5.5" (D) x 7.5" (W) in size. The shakers aren’t just for decoration either since they’re full-size, real glass shakers that will add charm to a duck hunter’s every day life.
The duck is made from hand-painted poly resin, and it won’t sqwark, quack, and waddle away come meal time. You might also like to check out their funny deer salt & pepper shaker - the perfect gift for deer hunters!
3. Duck Hunting Binoculars
- ED Glass for Sharper and Brighter Images | Magnification: 10x Power | Objective Lens Diameter: 42mm
- Included with Carry Case, Neck Strap, Shoulder Harness, Lens Covers and Lens Cloth
A must-have. You’re in and around wet environments, so a good pair of duck hunting binoculars must be fog and waterproof. Nitrogen or argon gases are sealed within the chambers via O-ring seals. This keeps water and fungi from getting into the optics. It also prevents condensation from forming on the inside when you’re going from your warm cab to the cold and wet air outside. While decent hunting binoculars add around a pound and a half (10x42) to your blind bag, it’s worthwhile weight.
Watch for injured birds, your retriever take-off and return with the fowl, and to admire the other wildlife that are present and unaware of you.
4. Small Game & Fowl Guide
- Rinella, Steven (Author)
- English (Publication Language)
This is the Volume 2 edition of “The Complete Guide to Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game” book that covers small game and fowl including turkey, making it a great gift for turkey hunters too!
It covers everything from essential clothing and equipment to hunting strategies and how to cook ‘em up.
This comprehensive guide was written by Steven Rinellla, the host of the MeatEater hunting show. With outdoor photographer John Hafner, Rinella is able to share stunning photographs of wild game that is sure to get your hunter revved up for the hunt and trying out some tasty recipes.

Think about it – handling decoys, retrieving ducks, and sitting and waiting in wet environments is cold work. An appreciated and practical gift idea for a duck hunter is a set of neoprene 2mm fleece-lined decoy gloves. They hold up to the hard work of waterfowl hunting and will do the job plus some like keeping the hunter’s mitts warm and dry.

7. ALPS OutdoorZ Legend Layout Blind
- No assembly required, patent-pending chair design provides the most comfortable layout blind seat on the market
- Waterproof tarpaulin floor to protect you and your gear
Not every hunter uses a layout blind, but once you do, you tend to never go back. This Legend Layout Blind holds a 300 lb weight capacity which is important to know because it has a zero-gravity chair built into the design that keeps you off the ground. It’s comfy, also keeps your head supported with a padded headrest, and the floor is waterproof, so you’ll stay dry.
The entire contraption needs no assembly, but you can fold the hold thing up and wear it like a backpack for convenient portability. Is your gift recipient a layout hunter? They may very well be one after receiving a gift like this!
8. Mojo Decoys Mud Seat
- The most comfortable, stable, and user-friendly seat available to hunters and people of the outdoors. It is sturdy, lightweight, and portable. It couldn’t be better!
- It is constructed of a rugged steel shaft and supports, and is adjustable for seat height and length of insertion into the mud.
When you’re in the marshes, you need a seat that’s unique to all seats – a mud seat. A good marsh seat should have steel supports securely fastened to the center shaft to hold up to the spread when inserted into the swamp. It should be lightweight and easy to transport with a strap. It should be adjustable in seat height and length for the perfect setup in the mud. It should be easy to clean with no fancy cushioning to raise the cost or make the spraying-off process difficult.
The marsh seat of this description is the Mojo Decoys Mud Seat. Get one for your wetland hunter. No more need be said.
9. PEET Boot Dryer and Warmer
- Works silently: The Original 2-Shoe Dryer works silently by gently warming air that rises and dries footwear; No loud fans blowing hot air
- Dries most footwear overnight: Drying time depends on material and saturation level; We recommend leaving shoes on the dryer overnight for best results
Wet feet are part of the business and fun, but it’s no fun when they’re still wet the next day when you slip your dry socks into a squishy, squelching boot.
Get a boot dryer to do the job overnight. The PEET boot dryer gets the job done between 3-8 hours all the while deodorizing your boots at the same time. It’s compatible with many types of materials, uses very little electrical energy, and it comes with a 25-year warranty.
With this type of practical gift, you can’t go wrong. An ideal gift for bowhunters too!

Packing a ton of gear is nothing new to a hunter. Being able to stow it all in an organized manner will be. The ALPS OutdoorZ Backpack Blind Bag stays upright, thanks to the self-standing hard bottom. You can also have padded shoulder straps and a waist belt for ultimate comfort.
You have loops galore on this bag with game loops on the shoulder straps, shell loops on the front pocket, and a drop down gun boot to get you safely to and from the blind without an accidental discharge.

Don’t let your hunter lose all his investments with a cheesy and flimsy lanyard. You need to get him or her a lanyard that can hold up to the harsh abuse of being out in the field while still being able to hold onto all the gear your hunter is trudging along with them. This is where Gloryfire comes in with their duck call lanyard to save the hunting season.
A double loop can hold one duck call making for 5 calls on one lanyard. Plus, it wouldn’t be completely practical if it wasn’t military-grade 550 paracord with 60 feet of unbraided length. Now, that’s a practical gift a waterfowl hunter could use!
12. Camo Bootfoot Waders
- WATERPROOF – 3.5mm premium neoprene construction is triple stitched seams and glued and taped for dependable protection
- BOOTS – 600-gram Thinsulate boots with wool felt midsole and a cleated outsole

Dual D ring attachments, triple-finished seams, and a fleece-lined hand-warmer chest pocket complete the look. It's all comfort and warmth while duck hunting this season!
13. Duck Hunting Decoys
