I second Tejano on the Alico boots. I have three pair, light hiker, heavier hiker, and 10" insulated hunter. They happen to fit me perfectly and are very well made and durable. Minimal break in required. You can get modern style with gore-tex type lining and rubber rand, or old school leather with stitched welt. I have found the old school stitched welt boots to be quite water resistant. Sierra Trading Post is the only place I have ever seen them. Prices are great, even better with the periodic sales at STP.

Hunt went great until we had to head home early due to family dynamics for the other guy. We got on elk and finally had spotted 2 nice bulls for the unit. Never got to go back in after them though. The crispi boots performed awesome over the 1 day of scouting and 3.5 days of hunting. Unfortunately we lost 4.5 days of hunting. Pretty miserable at this moment due to that being my first elk hunt and having dreamed of that since I was a kid. Now my Ohio rut hunt just got cancelled too. Not having a very good year it seems. . Always next year I hope.
The other TN guys we knew there killed 2 bulls out of 3 guys. Nothing giant but a 4x5 and a 5x6. I would have been excited to kill either of those bulls.
I learned very quickly what you need to pack and what you don't lol. After day 1 pack got lighter I assure you
Bill I will text you tonight about getting together to show you the boots

Will do. I am curious.
Too bad your hunts aren't working out - know the feeling......
