I bird, elk, deer hunt late season with non insulated treated boots, two pair of good wool socks and gaiters.

If stand hunting for deer of course want heavily insulated boots

Try on a bunch of brands. Took me a while to find the right boots. Don’t overlook insoles like Superfeet and good socks.

Skip the advice on multiple levels of insulated boots for a pack in bow elk hunt.

I guide and hunt in Wyoming and spend lots on boots and then look for deals on everything else. STP, camofire, wrangler outdoor pants, Prana, spring sales on warm stuff. And look at other companies besides hunting brands.



Totally agree 400-800 gram insulated boots would be the last the last thing I would ever use on an early season archery hunt...............
