In the Calgary Herald, Robert Remington writes that since men are not very far removed from Cro-Magnon-like behavior, fly fishing lessons and hunting gear are far more appropriate gifts than barbeques or ukeleles.  “Camo is the new black, or anything related to fly fishing. Every man wants a fishing vest with dozens of pockets, even if he doesn’t fish. And a shotgun. Stalking upland birds with a good dog is the most gentlemanly of the hunting pursuits, a civilized version of Cro-Magnonism.”
