Home Forums Birds & Dogs Upland Game Which Boots for Pheasant Hunting - Waterproof

For a couple of decades I’ve found the relatively cheap Cabala Mountain Hikers work very well for me from the mountain west to pheasants over flat but rough ground. I’m on my fourth pair all long pre-Bass Pro.

My alternate pair are the Browning (were they the Ultralights?) kangaroo hide boots; I don’t see them listed anymore. These are going on over twenty years and they will see me through to the end of my pheasant hunting barring a house fire.

Generally, it’s a safe bet to never scrimp on some stuff — binoc’s, boots, suits, shotguns, and wine. But occasionally, it works. The Cabala’s boots don’t last as long but my feet like them. I don’t even know if they sell them anymore.

Unless you hunt in a high and dry climate I would suggest Gore-Tex and stay light regardless.

ETA: Brownings just like TR’s except a couple inches shorter.
