hunting boots

Recommended Posts

Anybody have any suggestions for hunting boots. I would like a boot that is comfortable in cold weather conditions (800 to 1200 gram thinsulate)because I primarily stand hunt but still comfortable for walking for grouse hunting. Any suggestions would be great.

if you want the best boot for the cold then get the sascatchawan pac boot from cabelas...just bought a pair of those this weekend and they are awesome...they are water and scent proof and also have a pocket in the liner for toe warmers if you ever need them.

I love my Rocky Blizzard Stalker. 1200 gram. There a little on the heavy side but mine are going on 6 years now and are still in good shape. I use them from hunting, to snowmobiling, to fixing cars in the winter, etc. They do have one small hole in them that slowly leaks. If I had to get new boots I get these same ones. My feet have never gotten cold in the deer stand, with the coldest day being -10 a couple years ago. Of course I've worn them in colder weather then that.

Danner Pronghorns 1000 grams dont have them but have sold a ton of them. I wear a Lacrosse Braodside 10" and they have 800 grams in them and I like them a lot when its really cold I will break out the new Lacrosse alpha ice mans thier an ice king with out the weight bought them last year and thier arer the best pac boot I have ever worn.

after wearing these now the past few cold days you'd have to sit on stand in -0 temps all day before you'd ever need any toe warmers...i pulled an all dayer and from 6 to 2 twice and my feet have been hot...i under dressed 1 of the days and i shook from being cold but my feet were super warm....i wouldn't even wear this boot unless its under freezing or your a person that gets real cold feet easily.

6 months ago I would have recommended Danner's. I bought a pair of pronghorns last fall after a pheasant trip. I was looking for a light weight waterproof boot and Danners seemed to fit the bill. Fast forward to this fall. Again, on a pheasant hunt and I have to walk a small cattail slew. Water wasn't deep by any means, but needless to say I had wet feet when I was done. I've still been wearing them for deer season, as they're the only boots I have at the time. I'll be sending them back for repair after season. I can't walk by a water puddle without them soaking it up.

I had read a ton of good reports on Danner Pronghorns too so I ordered a pair. Man, they are the most comfortable boot I have ever had on. As someone else said, like a pair of tennis shoes. But, they don't fit. They seem to run bit short. I sent back the 13s and ordered 14s and they fit but were now bulkier than I wanted so sent them back too. I ended up getting Cabelas Outfitter Series boot in 600 gram. They are normally $159 and on sale on the HSOforum for $119. Got a pair jsut like them with 2000 gram thinsulate also a couple years ago. They are great boots. Nice leather, good support etc.

I reccommend them.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
