What's a good gift for a guy?

One of my best friends is moving and I would like to get him a going away present. I only have about $20 to spend. I'm not trying to be cheap, but I don't have much money. You guys have any ideas what an avid outdoorsman would like that already has most everything? Would like to get him something more personal not like a box of bullets :lol:

BHP, I wouldnt spend money on a guy who is well set up, I would find something to remind him of your friendship, could be anything from a rock to a dried lion turd, or maybe something from a hunt you shared, I have a stick that I have had for nearly 20yrs. that sorta looks like a compound bow from a friend of mine as a hint to give my recurve up and go modern, never did, but I kept his smart arse joke all these years and remember the good times, my wife found a small stone that looks like a cat track, I have carried it in my pocket on many a hunt for luck, doesnt have any luck in it yet but if I keep taking it along its bound to suprise me some day, well you get the drift, course this is all IMO, good luck in your quest, Ken

2nhound, Great idea! I can find something that will remind him of both the Big Horns and me :) We have had a lot of good laughs together so maybe something that will make him smile when he sees it. Boy, I'm going to miss him. :cry: Won't be but a couple hours drive away, but still sucks to see a good friend move away. I think I will come up with something in the next couple weeks for sure. Thanks again for the idea. I think he would like that cause I know he would probably get upset I spent money on him cause he knows my financial situation. Thanks again :D

A knife, pocket knife, multi tool, good book signed, hat or along those lines are great gifts.

Oh not really I've noticed a couple californians getting through the door. And the place is over run with those utah critters. Lol. A posse picture. has to be a original though nothing previously caught on a trail cam! Then slap together a personal frame like a shed or small hide and there you go. Or uh, and away it went? something like that I believe. Just select something small enough to hide from the wife or that won't affend her to the point it magically disappears one day.
