Father's Day Gift Guide: Celebrating Dad's Passion for the Outdoors

Father's Day Gift Guide: Celebrating Dad's Passion for the Outdoors


Dads like myself are hard to shop for.

If I need something I just go buy it, whether that's a new tree stand, leaf blower, or a dozen arrows. Even if Kim and the kids knew my draw length (which they don't), they'd have no idea how or where to get the arrows I prefer.
 
Chances are, you're in the same boat. You're either shopping for a dad, grandpa or father figure that already has everything they need, or you are that guy. So let me recommend wildlife art. It's a timeless gift that's perfect for the home, office, man cave or hunt camp. The kind of conversation piece that most guys won't buy for themselves, but love to show it off to their buddies once it's on the wall. 
 
I’ve worked hard over the years to produce a variety of sizes, styles and prices to fit any taste and budget. Now, we've taken it a step further, compiling all of our most popular gift ideas in one place.

Gifts for the Flyfishing Dad

I've recently dipped my toe in the cool mountain water of trout art, and we have a variety of options. I started with the "Trout Species of North America" paper print, featuring biologist approved art and information on trout, char and hybrids, plus a current World Record trout map showing the locations of each record catch.

The "Trout Species of the Appalachian Mountains" poster highlights the region and the species that make Appalachia special. It details the origins of flyfishing in New England as well as the native Brook Trout that thrives in the cool mountain streams here. It's a must have for the East Coast fly fisherman.

These Individual Trout Species Prints feature art and information from my other popular trout prints, but in a smaller size dedicated to a single fish. Perfect for small spaces!

I couldn't do all this trout work and not offer trout decals. Aviailable in an Appalachian Trout Decal 3-Pack (shown here) and a Trout Sketch Decal 5-Pack

Gifts for the Turkey Hunting Dad

Has dad completed a Grand Slam hunt? The “Grand Slam Subspecies of the North American Wild Turkey”  celebrates a true American original - the wild turkey. Essential for any turkey hunting father, this print is perfect for the office, hunting lodge, or man cave.

The North Carolina mountains are incredible in the spring and I look forward to hunting there every year. For the father who is obsessed with chasing turkeys, check out my newest wild turkey canvas print "Dance Card."

If dad's wall space is full but he's got a gun case that could use some style, check out our Wild Turkey Decal 5-Pack. They capture the look and feel of my wild turkey sketch art in a format dad can apply to anything he wants.

Gifts for the Deer Hunting Dad  

If your dad is crazy about whitetails, there’s no doubt he’d love The Growth and Maturity of The White-Tailed Buck. Our number one selling print, it combines art and information into the ultimate resource for estimating the age of bucks and a great conversation piece for hunt camp.

Every deer hunting dad loves antlers. My "Scoring & Field-Judging the White-tailed Buck" paper print celebrates all things antler - from how and why they grow, to what makes them unique and how to score them. Comes with a free illustrated scoring sheet.

If you're dad is a die hard deer hunter, I'd bet the rut is already on his mind. I painted "Turn and Burn" for an Outdoor Life cover years ago as a celebration for this magical time of year in the deer woods, and it remains our top selling canvas print still today. Hurry though - this edition is almost sold out!

For the Duck Hunting Dad

Some of the most profound lessons and lasting memories you'll ever get from your dad come in a duck blind. My popular series of flyway prints celebrate the species that make up each of the four major North American Flyways. Dads from coast to coast will love them!

Waterfowl of the Atlantic Flyway

Waterfowl of the Mississippi Flyway

Waterfowl of the Central Flyway

Waterfowl of the Pacific Flyway

From mallards and pintails to canvasbacks and Canada geese, the "Waterfowl Flyways of North America" poster helps hunters identify species, understand migration behavior, and sharpen their knowledge of North America's four major flyways. 

 I've always loved the look of a mallard - their yellow beaks, iridescent geads, blue secondaries and bright white highlights provide colorful areas of interest that make them stand out. That's why I painted "Marsh Madness". Available in multiple framing options, it'll make a perfect gift for the duck hunting dad this Father's Day.
