Carry on I guess....but I'd put all of this effort and mental gymnastics into how and where to find unpressured birds, than what boots to wear to get to them.
There's likely not a wild pheasant within 800 miles of me so I have been applying no pressure to them.
I think the CF is full of us that are stuck (for now) in places that don't give us the opportunity to chase as much as we like so we end up over researching and discussing. I'm also cheap so these boots are replacing two others and they will get used for a lot of other stuff and I want them to last for as long as my others have.
Heck if we all got to hunt as much as we wanted I doubt the CF would exist much! It's sure to blame for me having multiple centerfire rifles in .243, .257, 6.5, .270, 7mm and .30 when truthfully they'll all kill anything I'll ever hunt.
