So I'm a little OCD when it comes to my gear for hunting season...I'm headed off into the mountains for Dall sheep in a few weeks so I'm planning extra hard. I was researching socks (yes, socks) when I think I've found the perfect type: tough, scent killing, cushioned, moisture-wicking and antislip. The whole nine yards, the kings of the sock world.
So I order my socks, and since my son is coming with me for the first time I order socks for him too. When they arrive, I proudly show the wife the new purchase, explaining what the features are, how comfortable they are etc etc. and she says: "they're just socks". "Just socks!?" I say, extolling the virtues again (just in case she wasn't listening). Most married guys have seen the look I got, you know the one with the half smile and the slightly tilted head that says, "yes dear, I'm sure that's amazing" more or less the same way they do it when a child finds a pretty rock.
And that, my friends is the difference between men and women in a nutshell. It's socks I tell you, socks!
 
Mine would probably want the socks, she runs, skis, snow shoes ect so she would appreciate the socks....I get that look when a case of ammo, another gun or another truck shows up.
 
Enjoy your hunt with your son. That should be a grueling, exhilarating /memory sharing experience. My oldest "9" is coming out to moose camp again this year for a couple of days. He is already PUMPED !!

My wife is the same way when I buy camo clothing.....camo is camo....you don't need more, then I tell her sell can sell some of the older stuff on Buy/Sell/Trade local forum or at her garage sale and she is happy.

Oh I would get a much different look if a truck or new gun showed up

I totally agree with this statement on the guns, or quad, or Side by Side unit..lol even if it was used. I tried to buy newer (2014) Yamaha Viking that had 254km on it at an farm auction on saturday...actually my wife's dad was at the auction and I told him to bid on it. It went too high ( too close to retail) but when my wife found out her dad was bidding on it for me, she got bit cranky and I said if we got it for a decent price, hunting season is almost here and I was planning on either flipping the Viking to make some $$ or sell my Rhino instead.
 
my wife wuld want them for herself. she is addicted to socks. Ofcourse every paid she has is different so we have a pile of mismatched socks as big or bigger then her pile of matched sockes lol.
