Hunting a Blizzard - First Snowfall.

[Rick]

I was out Pheasant hunting this morning in this stuff. It actualy wasn't too bad in my Roryn Wear Silent Fleece (uninsulated), Goretex like waterproof/wind resistant parka, ball cap with a fleece cap over it, waterproof pheasant pants, and muckboots.

Before you call me crazy, I had to test the Roryn wear and muckboots out in these conditions. I was out for 2 1/2 hours and felt fine until I headed into the wind over open ground. Even then the only part that was cold was my face. I got a bit of a headache form the cold wind.

The Roryn Wear performed outstanding. Very lightweight and the silent fleece I believe kept me nice and toasty.

The muckboots were very comfortable. I knew they would be as they are my hunting boot, fall and spring boot of choice. I've had them for a year and a half now anf they perform like new. They are also VERY comfortable. Your wives would even like them. Yeah, they are that comfortable.

I was tired of having two pairs of lace up, expensive waterproof boots for warmer weather and for colder weather just to hunt or do my fall/spring fishing. The muckboots handle it all. I can't recommend these enough. Get yourself a pair and if you don't like them they will take them back. However, they will likely have to pry them out of your hands to get them back. They are that good!!!

Yes, but did you get any birds???

Which muckboot did you actually use? And do you use muckboots for winter ice fishing?

[Rick]

I got two birds. I use the Wetlands Muckboot. I don't use them for Ice Fishing. I find the best range of temps for these boots is 60 to 10 degrees F while walking. If I'm sitting still in a boat 65 to 35.

I hunted today in the Wetland Muckboots at 7 degrees for two hours and VERY comfortable indeed. And I got 1 bird but should have had 2 if I could hit the broad side of a barn. The birds were close to heavy cover actively feeding this morning.

[Just a note: I do test items and let folks know when something extra special is out there. Muckboots are one of those items for sure. Roryn appears to be the real deal as well - especially as low as they are priced. But need more testing to be sure.]
