Hi y'all, so, I know its a bit early but to make sure I get everythin in on time I'm putting it to the forum hoping you can give me some unique christmas gift ideas.

The story - so you know what I need to top - my brother and I always exchange some pretty fun gifts, just a couple for example was I game him a .38 special and the next year he gave me an SKS. So sometimes they are a little more spendy but really something bada** and unique is what I'm looking for for this year.

He mostly hunts in the northwest, bear, mule deer, elk, blacktail...anything you suppose a guy can't live without(also hunts all seasons, archery, muzzleloader, and modern rifle) in the $150 to $200 range... Id appreciate any ideas.

Set of these so he can film his hunts

Academy has a sports camcorder with various mounts for about $200.

good idea guys, he already has the equipment for recording, still looking...

game cart, since you can't drive up and load deer on most public in the NW..sure beats making several trips packing them out.

Range finder !!!

Custom hunting knife. Damascus with real ivory or buffalo horn. That'd be awesome and a gift he'll cherish for a lifetime.

Id go with this, you cant have too many knifes and a good one is allways handy.

BEAT ME TO IT.
Or look into the bush craft type knives
a quality 1 man tent
Emergency survival kit ...fire water & first aid

IDK if you've heard of Kevin's Fine Outdoor Gear/Apparel, but they have some cool (but $) stuff. http://www.kevinscatalog.com/default.asp?deptcat=HolidayGifts

Good idea but you won't be able to touch a custom knife with real ivory for $200. The buffalo horn can be had for that or maybe a little less depending on the maker but not the ivory.
Most knife makers are probably pretty well booked this time of year so getting one before Christmas is going to be hard to do.

How about a recurve bow

You can get a really good powerful flashlight for that price.

washington ag...do you live in B/CS? i make custom knives and am not too far from there, let me know...need to get started soon though if you are going that route.
