I ran Danner Elk Hunters for 10 years or so. Also had a pair of older Canadians. They were good boot after they were broke in. I've had a couple pairs of Cabelas Meindls. I find the Mendls comfortable.
Having said all that, I now have 3 pairs of Crispi - Wild Rock, Guide, Wyoming. I wear the Guide the most. I find them really comfortable. They do get into my heels after a day or so but solved that with a piece of Leukatape to the heel. Nary and issue after. I have that issue with most boots when elk hunting with a pack/load on my back and doing alot of climbing up steep slopes.
Black Ovis is/was running a sale on Crispis.
