I’m looking to get a few pair of wool socks for cold weather deer hunting. Prefer higher wool content around 80%. I was looking at darn tough hunter extra cushion but I can’t find them anywhere. So what keeps your feet warm?

See good HD wool socks here in MT at every Ranch/Farm store, backpacker/ski shop, REI, etc.

Also look at Duluth Trading Post.

I'm a fan of REI pretty good economic value. Heavy weight hikers if you boots are big enough. Medium is what I wear as work socks. They have a discount if you buy a few at a time.

I've worn Wigwam Merino Comfort Hikers for years. Very happy with them and wear them winter and summer. With a good thinsulate boot or Sorel, my feet don't ever get cold.

nothing else comes close the buffalo gloves started the whole thing off, now I have the socks, you can get them wet and you will never know it. expensive yes but you will never want anything else.

Gustofer hit it on the head...Buy a pair of good pak boots. I have some Schnee's, built in MT. NEVER suffer from cold feet anymore. Socks are only part of the solution.

And BTW....REI has a sale starting Nov 10th.

I use Wigwam Merino Comfort Hikers or Merino Comfort Sportsman socks, and they work great. When it gets really cold I have a few pairs of their Minus 40 socks that are also outstanding.

I rotated between 5 pair of smart wool socks over the course of about 400 days in Afghanistan. Some of those days were mighty cold. My feet were never uncomfortable and the 5 pair of socks are still in great shape and used regularly.
Smart wool.

Smart wool or darn tough.

I get the Dickies Wool Socks at WalMart:

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Dic...ocks-2-Pack/16827417

While they are normally about $10 for two pair, at the end of the season, they are marked down at some stores to $3 for 2 pair. I have at least 30 pair or more. Timing is everything.

Check keepshooting.com.
They sell milsurp apparel from many countries.
I am very satisfied with the German and Italian 100% wool socks.
Wam, wear like iron and unbelievably cheap.

I am also always on the lookout for decent wool hunting socks. Most of the ones in my drawer came from our local farm and garden store, they do the job but I always think there is something better just around the corner.

^ I use the same socks in my Danner work boots.
They wear well and keep my feet warm.

I really like the ones from KUIU, I have 4-5 pairs of them at this point. I also like the pairs I have from firstlite.

DarnTough wool socks
also,

“People Socks”wool socks are decent quality and a pack of them can be had for cheap on Amazon.
They are however NOT as durable as DarnTough. I usually get 7 months out of a pair before the heel or forefoot starts wearing thin.

Sounds like smartwool or darn tough get a lot of love. My wife said she’d go to an Amish feed store that is listed as a dealer for darn tough and see if they have them. Since my 15 year old is deer hunting with me this year it’s more important to keep him warm so I need to get a few pairs

I just purchased 2 pairs of the Darn Tough hunter extra cushion socks from Scheels Sporting goods. I’d link them for you but I’m on my phone. Google Scheels and you will find them. $30 a pair

I have Smartwool, Darn Tough, and Duluth. More important is to have a good pair of pac boots that aren’t too tight fitting. My next pair of boots will be Hoffman boots which are made in the U.S.A.. http://www.hoffmanboots.com/ca...y.aspx?categoryID=20
