Southern Cross Design & Co. — Hunting Season 2026
The 2026 Hunting Gift Guide
A meaningful gift for the hunter who already has everything.
Hunting season is here, and Christmas isn't far behind—which means it's time to start thinking about what to get the hunter in your life.
If he's like most serious hunters, he already has the gear. The bow, the knife, the rifle, the calls, the equipment. He probably knows exactly what he likes—and what he doesn't.
So instead of giving him more gear, give him something that celebrates the place he loves to return to.
"This year, give him his favorite place."
Why a Coordinate Sign Makes a Meaningful Hunting Gift
Every hunter has a place that means more than the rest.
The hunting camp. The family farm. The favorite ridge. The cabin in the woods. The property that's been part of the family for generations.
A handcrafted coordinate sign turns that meaningful location into something he can keep.
It's not another piece of hunting gear.
It's a marker of the place—and the memories tied to it.
Whether it's displayed in the hunting cabin, lodge, trophy room, office, or home, a personalized coordinate sign brings a favorite hunting destination into the places he lives every day.

A Hunting Gift He Doesn't Already Own
When you're shopping for someone who already has everything he needs for the field, finding something unexpected can be the hardest part.
A coordinate sign isn't something he'll replace next season.
It's personal.
You choose the location that means something to him, and we create a handcrafted sign around it.
The result is a gift that feels intentional—not picked up at the last minute.
Display It Beneath the Trophy
A favorite buck or elk mount tells the story of the hunt.
The coordinates tell the story of where it happened.
Place a coordinate sign beneath a trophy mount to create a personalized display that celebrates both the animal and the place behind the memory.
Whether it's a whitetail from the family property, an elk from a memorable western hunt, or another trophy that deserves a place of honor, adding the location makes the display even more personal.
It's a simple detail that can turn a trophy display into a story.
Holiday Gift Ideas for Every Kind of Hunter
The Whitetail Hunter
The property he's hunted for years. The ridge where he took his first buck. The family land that's produced a decade of stories.
Mark the coordinates of the place that keeps him coming back.
The Elk Hunter
Maybe it's a western hunting destination he'll never forget. Maybe it's the ranch where he finally got his bull.
A coordinate sign gives that memorable location a permanent place alongside the trophy.
The Deer Camp Hunter
For some hunters, camp is as much a tradition as the hunt itself.
It's opening weekend. Early mornings. Coffee before heading out. Stories around the firepit at the end of the day.
A sign featuring the coordinates of camp can become part of the cabin itself.
The Waterfowl Hunter
His favorite marsh, blind, or stretch of water may be a place he knows by heart.
Turn those coordinates into something tangible he can display at home or at the hunting camp.
The Turkey Hunter
For the hunter who looks forward to spring as much as fall, consider the coordinates of his favorite turkey property or hunting destination.
It's a subtle way to celebrate the place behind the tradition.
The Out-of-State Hunter
Some of the most memorable hunts happen far from home.
An out-of-state lease, ranch, outfitter's property, or destination can become a personalized reminder of the trip—and the story that came home with him.
The Hunter Who Has Everything
He's got the gear. He's got the equipment. He's probably got more hunting stuff than you know what to do with.
So give him something he can't buy off the shelf.
Give him a place he loves.

What to Know Before You Order
You don't need to know the exact coordinates to order.
A property name, address, nearby town, location name, or general description is usually enough. We'll help determine the coordinates for your sign.
Each sign is handcrafted to order, making it a truly personalized gift.
And because holiday orders can add up quickly, we recommend ordering early in the season.
A Gift Made for the Place Behind the Hunt
The best hunting memories aren't always about the gear or even the trophy.
They're about the places.
The land you've walked for years. The camp where everyone gathers. The property your family has hunted for generations. The destination you'll never forget.
A coordinate sign brings that place home.
Give Him His Favorite Place.
At Southern Cross Design & Co., we create handcrafted wooden coordinate signs inspired by the places that mean the most.
This hunting season, celebrate the property, camp, cabin, or destination behind the memories.
Because every great hunt has a place behind it.
