CHÊNE Women's Scout Boot 

If your mom spends her days chasing gobbles, managing property or just enjoying the great outdoors, the CHÊNE Scout Boot is a no-brainer. This stylish new colorway is built tough for mud, rain and everything in between. Made from premium neoprene and rubber, it’s lightweight, waterproof and designed for all-day wear. Whether she’s scouting new ground or running errands in town, this boot delivers rugged functionality without sacrificing comfort or style. 

Goodr Sunglasses 

For the mom who’s always on the move, whether she’s hiking ridgelines, calling in gobblers or spending time on the water, Goodr Sunglasses are a must-have. These shades feature a special grip-coated frame to prevent slipping, even when sweating. The snug, lightweight design stays put without bouncing and the polarized UV400 lenses block 100% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. Available in a wide variety of fun and functional colors to match every outdoor adventure. 

NWTF Aquatic Puppy Tee 

Perfect for casual days or post-hunt lounging, the Aquatic Puppy Tee combines comfort and conservation. It’s a soft, cozy staple that proudly supports the NWTF’s mission — great for any turkey hunting mom who wants to wear her passion on her sleeve.  

Portable Charger 

Whether she’s in the turkey woods before sunrise or chasing elk deep in the backcountry, a reliable portable charger is a must-have for the modern hunting mom. From running GPS apps to checking weather conditions or snapping a photo of her harvest, staying powered up in the field is essential. Lightweight and durable, a power bank gives her peace of mind — and enough juice to stay connected and on course all season long. It’s the kind of gear she’ll pack for every hunt.

Danner Wayfinder Boots 

If she needs a go-anywhere, do-anything boot, the Danner Wayfinder fits the bill. This boot blends lightweight agility with all-day comfort and waterproof protection, making it a great fit for turkey hunts, foraging trips, checking food plots or even just walking the dog. It’s built tough, looks sharp and is ready for whatever the day brings. 

Red Land Cotton Sheets 

After long days in the field or early mornings chasing gobblers, everyone deserves a good night’s rest. Red Land Cotton Sheets are crafted from 100% cotton grown on a family farm in Alabama using sustainable, ethical practices. These American-made sheets offer the durability, breathability and comfort any outdoorswoman will appreciate.  These sheets will bring a touch of luxury to her post-hunt routine. 

Wild + Whole Cookbook 

For the mom who finds joy in the hunt and the kitchen, Wild + Whole is more than a cookbook — it’s a celebration of living intentionally through wild food. Written by Danielle Prewett, one of MeatEater’s leading culinary voices, this beautifully crafted book features over 80 seasonal recipes designed around wild game, foraged ingredients and conscious cooking. With a deep respect for nature and a passion for storytelling through food, Prewett inspires hunters and gatherers alike to eat with the seasons and make the most of every harvest. It’s the perfect gift for the mom who values sustainability, creativity and the rewarding journey from field to table. 

NWTF Big Frig 10 Quart Cooler 

Built tough and ready for adventure, it keeps ice frozen for days, making it perfect for turkey camp, long days on the water or backyard cookouts. Compact enough for easy carry but rugged enough to handle the wild, it’s the go-to cooler for moms who live life outdoors. And with the NWTF logo front and center, it’s a practical way to show off her passion for conservation. 

Mossberg International SA-28 Tactical Turkey Shotgun  

28-gauge shotguns have been gaining in popularity, for good reason; they’re light to carry, fun to shoot and increasingly effective at bagging gobblers. Mossberg’s SA-28 Tactical Turkey Shotgun is a great entry into the world of 28 gauges and a great turkey gun. It comes outfitted with a full choke, a mounted Picatinny rail, a ghost ring and iron site, and not to mention it is in Mossy Oak’s Greenleaf pattern. Whether your mom is a beginner turkey hunter or has been hunting gobblers for decades, the Mossberg’s SA-28 Tactical Turkey Shotgun is a great option for this Mother’s Day.
