I used to love Danner boots.
If "elk hunters" are USA made, you have a chance.
Personally, if I am walking in boots and there is any chance of moisture (dew, frost, puddles, rain) I wear my Kennetrek Mtn. Extreme.
Anything with a stitched on sole won't keep out water very long.
If I greased my last Danners every night in hunting camp and caked grease on the seams, I might have dry socks at lunch on a damp morning.
Funny, I just gave those Danners to the tracker I had in Namibia last week. They are comfortable and it is a tad dry in Africa, so he was thrilled.
I won't be buying another pair of Danners.......ever.
