With the holidays fast approaching, we thought you might appreciate a little brainstorming that we’ve done to bring you a list of items that hunters in your life might consider a thoughtful and useful gift. Here’s Hunt Alaska’s 2024 Holiday Gift Guide.
Hunting Gifts for Every
Outdoorsman on Your List!
Hilleberg Soulo
Hunters who need a rugged mountain tent will find the Hilleberg Soulo an utterly dependable all-season 1-person shelter. The multiple pole crossing points of its dome shape afford excellent stability in exposed, high-elevation terrains, and its double-wall construction provides complete protection from driving wind, rain, and snow. Thanks to these strengths, the Soulo can be pitched nearly anywhere, and because of its compact footprint, you can easily make camp in limited-space sites such as knife-edge ridges. The Soulo’s surprisingly roomy interior offers plenty of headroom for taller users and its vestibule has space to keep your gear covered, making it a worthy choice for your next backcountry adventure.
Black Hills Ammunition 300 PRC 212 Gr. ELD-X
Black Hills is now loading 300 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) with the Hornady 212-grain ELD-X hunting bullet. The 212-grain ELD-X is designed to provide an optimum combination of accuracy and game-stopping performance. Velocity is 2,850 fps with 3,824 ft/lbs of energy. It has a G1 ballistic coefficient of .663 and a G7 coefficient of .334. The newer 300 PRC design eliminated the unnecessary belt of the .300 Winchester Magnum and increased the body diameter. The result is smoother feeding, increased powder capacity, and an increase of around 150 fps in velocity for improved terminal performance.
Kenetrek Bobcat Zip Boots
Slide into 10 inches of waterproof comfort after skiing, to feed your pets, or for a quick trip to the mailbox. The Bobcat slips on with ease thanks to the durable heavy-duty zipper. Then, once zipped up, they hold your foot securely because of the waterproof 4-way-stretch panels sewn into the uppers. Insulating 6 mm liners are sewn in at the back to allow for easy on and off with the use of only one hand. This boot leaves the mess of outside where it belongs, and makes heading in or out less of a chore.
Warthog V-Sharp Curve – Black
The Warthog V-Sharp Curve is an incredibly easy to use, high-quality sharpener to get the job done quickly. With non-adjustable hones all you need to do is keep your blade flat against the Guide and let the sharpener do the work. The unique curve in the diamond hones maintains a 25 degree angle throughout the entire blade. Spring loaded diamond hones keep equal pressure on each side while pulling the blade through. Check them out at Big Ray’s in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Kodiak or shop online.
Warthog V-Sharp A4 Knife Sharpener
Outdoor people in Alaska need sharp knives. The all-new VSharp A4 is the solution. It uses two high-quality, 325 grit diamond hones that sharpen both sides of the blade simultaneously. The A4 uses the patented V-Sharp system with angle settings of 15-,20-,25- and 30-degrees to sharpen virtually any knife. It is the perfect diamond knife sharpener for home use, chefs, fishermen, and hunters. Use with ceramic hones to sharpen serrated blades with ease! The A4 knife sharpener is easy to use, fast, and accurate.

FOHRLOH Men’s and Women’s Insect Shield Hooded Long Sleeve and Men’s and Women’s Insect Shield Pant
FORLOH has a scientific approach to their camouflage patterns based on an animal’s visual processing. The new Marshfield camo print makes you virtually invisible at 75 yards or more, blurring your form into the landscape at a distance to avoid detection. Great in later seasons, late-season wooded tree line, open marsh fields, and heavy underbrush areas. Insect Shield provides long-lasting, effective, and convenient insect protection.
Insect Shield repels mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers and midges without the smell. Insect Shield protection is built right in and lasts the expected lifetime of the product. Polygiene Stay Fresh antimicrobial and Odor Crunch scent-control systems keep you fresher and less detectable to prey and humans alike.
