Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Best still hunting boots

Back in the 70's, you could get ankle height bull hide moccasins with double bull hide soles. Hippies loved them. I wasn't a hippy by a long shot but I took a chance on them for bowhunting. On fairly flat land, they worked very well and were as close to silent as any shoes I've ever worn. I used them for years. They weren't bad in rocks because of the heavy leather but of course they weren't real hiking boots. They were stalkers, not hikers, and you'd want real boots for carrying out a load of meat. Their big failing was that they were slick on grass, especially if it was wet. They weren't waterproof. When I got older, they were still in very good shape but my feet widened out so they wouldn't fit.

They were like this except they were lace up instead of those goofy hippie straps.
