Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Best still hunting boots

I’ve settled on a good fitting rubber bottom boot with a leather upper like a Schnee, Lacrosse or Sorel. I got the ones that aren’t overly insulated, fit well enough so I can feel the ground but have enough grip so I’m not eating dirt when going up and down hill on slick leaves or snow. Best time for still hunting is when the ground is wet ,soft and quiet which means slick. Moccasins are quiet but you’ll bust your ass on a wet log or slick hill. If you’re planning to be on the move most of the day don’t worry about not having enough insulation. If you’re going to sit awhile bring extra wool socks in your pack. I always wear light wool with the boots as wool stays warm even when wet by water or sweat. If I find a good run late in the day before dark to sit I’ll slip on another pair so I can be comfy enough to sit it out.
