Hey Folks,
Going through my gear for the upcoming winter deer season and realized my socks are all like 15-20 years old...I know crazy lol. Most are wool and worked well when I did mostly still/stalking hunts, kept my feet warm even if they got wet, were comfortable and warm cause I was moving a good amount. However, since virtually all my hunting is now done sitting in tree stands around the property for extended periods of time, often in temps well below freezing, I'm finding my feet getting uncomfortably cold despite wearing well insulated boots. Which makes it hard to sit still! If I am moving to set up in another stand, no problem, feet warm right up nice and toasty.
I know there are many more options and new materials nowadays, so I figured my cheap ass would pop for some new socks.
Any recommendations (materials and/or brands) that you fellow cold weather tree stand hunters might recommend? Looked online and the options are so darned numerous, figured any real life feedback would help me narrow it down some.
Thanks as always folks!
Stay safe and happy hunting this season.
