Sorry for this, but we're kind of in the slow time for fishing and hunting anyways. I am getting married on April 17 and I am really trying to figure out what to buy my groomsmen and ushers. What are some of your favorites or any ideas that you guys have? Is the old standby flask the way to go or what? All of the guys are hunters and fishermen so they would like outdoor things. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Fiance is putting a deadline on me for this weekend to make my decision.
Thanks,
Bushwacker

Everyone has a flask from a wedding it seems. Best 2 "groomsman gifts" I got were #1 a leech lake fillet knife (100 bucks) and #2 was a nice pocket watch (50 bucks).....these two gifts were the best ones I have recieved. The knife was really sweet if your buddies fish. The pocket watch is just handy. I have a couple of flasks already, the other two gifts were much better.

Buy each of them a butane survial lighter. If they smoke, it's golden. If they hunt or fish, there's likely a time they need a foolproof, windproof light to get a fire or a heater going. Or at least they THINK there might be such a time.

Great little gift in a small package that doesn't seem cheap and keeps on giving.

You can get them from $15 to $50 at places like Gander and Cabelas.

I bought all my groomsmen some decent reels and got my ring bearer (my 4 year old nephew) a starter tackle box. After all these years they can still use these gifts as excuses to go out fishing with me. The gift that keeps on giving is what I call it.

congratulations!!!I have gotten pocket knives with my name engraved on them, very cool. I have also gotten a travel pack very cool, zippo lighters with date of wedding engraved on it, gift certificates, leather mug, but the best one was a pair of flip/flop sandals, saved the feet at the reception and I still wear them to this day. -

I was in the same predicament. At a sporting goods store I found small pocket lock blade knives in individual wood cases. Each knife had a design of deer, ducks, elk, etc.. I had a small brass sign engraved and glued it on the box.

My buddy never leaves home without his knife.

When I got married, I bought 8 tickets to the MN Wild home opener. All my groomsman, ushers and myself went to the game and out for a night on the town after...

How about renting a sleeper up on Red Lake and bringing your groomsman there as their present. That way you can enjoy the gift too.

Only other thing I can think of would be 2 way radios for all, that way when you are hunting/fishing you can stay in touch. You can get a nice pair, including base for recharging for like $40..

It seems like a Zippo lighter comes in handy alot of time, if you have to light a fire camping or you smoke. You can have them engraved and the are under warranty also so if something happens they can just send them in and have them fixed, or replaced.
