Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Late Season Boot Options

I'm heading to the McKenzie mountains for a Mountain Caribou and Moose hunt towards the end of September and will run into early October. I currently wear Kenetrek Mountain Extreme boots with 400 grams thinsulate. I was hoping to use these along with a Kuiu gaiters. The outfitter is recommending pac boots for the hunt. Should I get a new pair of boots or work with what I got?

I don't think we will be crossing streams but then again if there is snow on the ground my guess is the leather will eventually get wet no matter how much wax I have on them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'd look at something like Muck Pursuit Supreme or Arctic Outpost Mid. Other companies make similar boots but I am not familiar with them. Just came back from the BC/Yukon border - it's still warm enough in the daytime to be very wet in the muskeg/swamp etc.

Edit - just checked my phone and Teslin, Yukon is showing lows of about 20F to highs of 41F for the next week.
