Eagles Dare Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 18 hours ago, specialist said: I have muck boots and a pair of field and stream knee high neoprene and rubber for wet areas and bow hunting. The real game changer has been my new Irish Setter Elk Trackers for cold day stand sits. 1000 grams and Vortex bootie. Warm and comfortable like slippers Irish Setters are what I wear from shotgun season on. Dont think theyre elk trackers but theyre warm, lightweight, and comfortable. I do wear knee highs pheasant hunting and sometimes during bow season but they make such a limited impression on me I couldn't tell you what brand they are. Will have to check. specialist 1 I'll have mine on the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the box at home, can give you the model this afternoon. They're 4 or 5 years old though so it wouldn't surprise me if they're no longer available. KidDkivahh and R.R.

R.R. Bridge Fisher Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 I remember in my 20's I used to buy red wing boots for work. That's when they were made in USA only. We used to go to Townsend at a little store there and the guy was great. This one time he told us you should look at these Irish setters because red wing is selling the name and they won't be available like this anymore. My buddy and I bought a pair each. $186 I remember and they were buy far the best boot I ever owned. Lightweight and waterproof. More of a boot for bird hunting but we wore them everywhere. I had them resoled once before they had it. I guess I need to do some research and look for a good lightweight boot for walking. My back can't handle those old bulky pack boots anymore. troll #122 <*)))< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Athletic Shoe is still in business but their stock comes in containers from China and it is packaged here. Vibram soles are still made in North Brookfied Mass.

gray gables Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 I’m still using a pair of ll bean camouflage duck boots I got at the Freeport store 30 yrs ago. I sent them back once because they leaked. They resoled them and they’ve been good ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always found them easiest to find after a light snow so i could follow tracks in and out of bedding areas. Often led me right to them.

It's not a big area, I'd see him with out antlers a still nothing. found and complete doe skeleton once behind the house, I have that skull but no sheds. I've only found a couple in all my years searching, walking a ton of miles. and one I lucked out was while I was crossing a little stream.
