Hunters are notoriously difficult to shop for when Christmas comes around.

They already have plenty of gear, but continually yearn for more. Hunters can be pretty picky about the gear they desire, too.

So, we're to help. The editors of Game & Fish Magazines got to together to come up with a Christmas wish list filled with great gifts that hunters you know may not even know they need.

Check back throughout the holiday season for additions to this list.

Game & Fish Holiday Gift Guide — Hunting

Here are our picks for 2021.

Goal Zero Venture 35 Power Bank

We've all been there. You shoot a great buck at last light and can’t wait to send a photo to your buddies. But when you pull out your phone to snap and send a pic, you find that the hours you spent on stand mindlessly scrolling through social media has sapped the battery. And that’s a rather innocuous example of how a dead phone battery can put a damper on things in the outdoors, never mind the emergency situations when you really need to get a call out. Avoid this happening to you or a hunter on your shopping list with the Goal Zero Venture 35, which can provide up to 3 smartphone recharges per charge. It’s about the size of a deck of cards and weighs just over 10 ounces, so it won’t take up much space or add a lot of weight to your pack, plus it features an integrated 50-lumen white LED. Once back at camp, juice it back up in as little as 3 hours. — John Taranto

MEAT! Sous Vide

Have you ever cut into a steak at a restaurant and marveled at the way the entire interior is evenly cooked to your requested doneness? The secret to that is a process known as sous vide, which involves slowly cooking a vacuum-sealed piece of meat in a warm-water bath, then quickly searing it in a hot skillet to get a crispy, charred exterior. MEAT!, the direct-to-consumer meat processing equipment manufacturer, has made a name for itself since its launch in 2020 for offering high-quality, industrial-grade products as reasonable prices. The newest additions to its line-up is a pair of sous vide machines. Either would make the perfect gift for the person on your list who takes great care in preparing his or her hard-earned protein and great pride in feeding it to family and friends. MEAT! sous vide machines will be available in mid-November. — John Taranto
