I'm pretty much old school I guess and still moose hunt in my Lacrosse hip boots. They're comfortable, I can hike in them all day and unless it turns off unseasonably warm they're not too warm for all day wear. I wouldn't want to climb mountains in them but for most moose hunting habitat they are well suited. Knee high rubber boots have never done it for me. I always seem to find more water than they will protect against.
If I can steal from and modify Whelen's famous quote, it would read, "when moose hunting, hips boots and a 30-06 are never a mistake."
