Sick of Christmas gift guides? Good, because this is a post-Christmas gift guide.

Why?

Some hunters have a little more jingle in their pocket after unwrapping a few cards from friends and family. On the eve of December 25, my nineteen-year-old asked me, “Dad, can we go to Cabela’s and Scheels tomorrow? I got a bunch of Christmas money.”

Whether the penny bank is full or empty, post-Christmas is an excellent time to start looking for those items that will help you have a more successful spring and fall.

Here are some great Browning-branded gear items to add to your Browning Shopping Cart.

A great soft case is essential, and Browning's 1776 Collection rifle case is as good as they come. Branded after the historic year when the American colonies declared independence from Great Britain and adopted the Declaration of Independence, this bulletproof, slim, and durable case protects your firearm and optic. The full-length zipper ensures easy rifle in/out, the web handles make transport a breeze, and the integrated ring lets you hang the case anywhere. You’ll cheer the case’s patriotic look, and the large accessory pocket makes ideal storage for ammo and other must-have hunt gear.

A knife that's earned its place in my mountain kill kit, the Back Country Fixed showcases full-tang construction. The G-10 handle scales provide a firm grip even when the hands get bloody. The knife cleans up quickly and the modified drop-point blade, crafted from D2 tool steel, is light yet durable and razor-sharp. I used the Back Country Fixed this past fall to break down a pair of 6-point bulls. The knife feels excellent, and I like the orange ceramic paint blade finish. Not only does it give the knife some flare, but it makes it easy to find on the ground. How often have you been cleaning an animal and either asked those with you or whispered to yourself, “Where did I put that knife?”

Nearly every time I pull this item up on Browning’s website, it’s out of stock. There’s a reason for that: The Blackout Elite Headlamp works like a charm and features high, medium, and low white beams and a go-incognito low green mode. The light is available as of the article posting, so act fast. I have toted this light from Africa to Alaska; the aluminum body is as rigid as they come. I appreciate the Dual Fuel (use the included USB rechargeable battery or two standard CR123A batteries) design. The head strap is comfortable, adjustable, and extra secure with the over- and around-the-head band design.

When I got my Browning Outdoorsman Survival Kit, I had no plans to become a survival specialist, and I still don’t. I got it because I go on enough extreme DIY hunting adventures in far-flung locales that, more often than not, my hunting adventure turns into a survival situation. This all-inclusive kit comes with a folding, liner lock knife with a stainless-steel drop-point blade, flashlight, wire saw (I have discovered so many uses for this), fire-starting flint with a compass and whistle. The entire kit comes organized in a polymer storage case.

On a recent trip to the dark continent, I hunted with a gentleman who wore a leather cartridge case holder on his belt. It looked ultra-cool, especially since he was shooting a Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter model with a checkered walnut stock and satin finish. When we got stateside, I ordered Browning's Crazy Horse Leather Cartridge Case. Available in Standard and Magnum, the Standard case holds 10 centerfire rifle cartridges, and the distressed leather with full-edge stitching looks great. The belt loop and center snap make belt attachment and opening/closing easy.

A good bino chest harness is worth its weight in gold, and you’ll love this low-profile, ultra-comfortable harness. The magnetic tab closure and proper lid engineering work together to allow for quick, one-handed opening and closing. A soft, padded interior protects your pricy optics, and the lightweight, durable, and water-resistant outer fabric ensures years of no-fail product use. A Flexfit rangefinder case is included, and the Speed Bino Hub quickly converts to a minimalist bino harness for use without the hub. Other wins include the zippered front pocket for convenient gear storage, mesh pockets, and webbing loops for attachments.

A staple in the Browning Sling line is the All Season Sling. A do-all sling, the padded shoulder with a textured back prevents frustrating off-the-shoulder slippage, and elastic loops provide right-now access to ammunition. Browning added a thumb loop for added comfort and ease of adjustment, and the sling adjusts from 26- to 40 inches to fit most rifles and shotguns.

Designed for those who pursue North America’s most popular big-game animal, the Whitetail 1300 Hunting Pack has enough purposeful space to haul everything you need for those all-day sits. The pack sports many exterior pockets that allow immediate access to need-right-now gear, and the spacious duffle-style main compartment is perfect for extra clothing, lunch, etc. The padded back panel is ventilated to ensure airflow and reduce sweating, and the pack is compatible with Browning carbon-fiber pack frames. The Whitetail 1300 features a bow/rifle carrier, holds a hydration bladder, and includes a rain cover to keep contents dry when Mother Nature gets nasty. The pack is available in Major Brown and OVIX.

It’s just meat and potatoes here but make no mistake — this storage two-pack has multiple purposes, and I use them all the time. Whether you’re organizing ammo in the garage or want on-the-go dry storage for small electronics, ammo, etc., you’ll find many purposes for these light but durable Dry Storage Boxes with a built-in folding top carry handle, end hinge, and metal bail latch. The boxes are fully stackable, and the O-ring sealed lid keeps out dust and moisture.
