You still have plenty of times to "ferret" it out of him or his siblings... I really wouldn't worry about it JUST yet. But pay attention to things he mention he likes.

Whatever you buy be sure to keep the receipt, a lot can happen between now and December, especially at your age. I don't want to sound patronizing but at 14 boyfriends come and go with the sea breeze.

I think BEFORE you think what to get him, you ask him what limit you two have for spending. So neither of you overspend on a present.
Does he have a brother or sister? If so could you ask them?
Besides hunting, fishing and sports what does he like? Anything you know more about?
Do you know his favorite team? For instance? Maybe find a hoodie (if they aren't crazy expensive) or one IN the team colors. You can look at some of the websites that do personalized stuff and maybe find something there?

6 months by Christmas? So you've literally only been together a month? Hun, slow down! Enjoy it for what it is, but you really need to wait until November before thinking about presents.

reader, anonymous, writes (20 July 2015): If you are really clueless about hunting/fishing/sports, then it would be nice to get him a gift certificate to a hunting or sporting goods store. I know it sounds like giving him money, but even $25 could go toward something he might want to get. Another idea is (if you feel comfortable) to ask his parents what he's had his eye on. Are you interested in those things? Maybe you can ask if he'd like to show you what it's like to go fishing or you can ask him questions about hunting or things like that. Keep an ear out in case he mentions something about his boots coming apart. Including a card with a fisherman on it with an inscription such as "You've got me hooked on you" would be cute too. You don't have to get too elaborate.
