A weapon is a point of pride for a hunter. He'll likely keep it in top condition and treat it like an extension of his arm--after all, it needs to be precise and in good working order if he's going to hit a moving target. Don't buy a new weapon for a hunter if you're not aware of what he wants before you go to make the purchase. Since weapons vary wildly in almost every way, you can't be sure without asking exactly what he wants. Instead, consider investing in accessories for his main weapon. Ammunition isn't reusable unless he's bow-hunting, so purchasing bullets or new arrows will let your hunter anticipate returning to his passion. If you feel that he has enough ammunition, try purchasing a new site for his gun. There are many different kinds of sites, including ones that are electronic and track movement. You can even get one that adjusts to the movement of the hunter's head, ensuring accuracy. If all else fails, try buying him a nice, new case for his gun. Any clerk at a gun shop can help you make a good decision about the type.
Accessories

A well-outfitted hunter can't go hunting with just a gun. He needs a whole array of clothing and accessories that you can purchase for Father's Day. Maybe he needs a new raincoat to keep away the water on hunts during the rainy season. Be sure to get one that protects against wet and cold--and don't buy bright yellow. A hunter wants to be able to blend into his surroundings. You can also buy cargo pants with pockets--also designed to blend into his primary hunting group--or shirts that will keep him cool and wick moisture away from his body. If you aren't sure about his clothing size, consider buying him a nice pair of sunglasses with a cord so they stay on his face and protect his eyes from the sun. You could also buy him a backpack to carry his supplies in or a thermos to be sure he stays hydrated. You can ask a salesclerk at any sporting goods or hunting store for brand and style recommendations based on the style of the hunter you're shopping for. An LCD flashlight is also an excellent gift for your father's who enjoy hunting.

You could purchase maps of the area that will help him to better understand his surroundings.
