Hey Everyone,
This post is about one of the most important items of your hunting gear, your boots. This deer season was a typical Alabama season weather wise. One day it could be in the mid 50's and raining. The next morning, it could be in the 20's and sunny. I have been through many different type of hunting boots. This past year, I got a new pair of Muck Boots Woody Sport. Muck Boots Company makes a lot of different boots for a lot of different needs. For the deep south, the Woody Sport made the most sense to me. The comfort range is 70 to -20 degrees.The four way stretch nylon is very comfortable. It is 100% waterproof. Very lightweight as well. To me, the biggest problem with boots is they can make your feet sweat when you are walking to the deer stand and then once you stop moving and sit down, after awhile your feet freeze. This did not seem to happen over the past deer season. My feet stayed comfortable all during the day. They gave me good footing walking around the property. What I love the most is when you get back to the camp house, I can simply roll down the boot sleeve and slip them off. In the morning, slip them on and roll up with sleeve and your pant legs are nice and tucked in. That way they are kept clean and warm. I have really enjoyed them. I would love to try the Woody Sport Armor Cool boot. I would image that I would love them just as much for turkey hunting as I have loved the Woody Sport for deer hunting. God Bless.

Honestly, I've given up on the waterproof knee boots. There are some comfortable ones out there but they are all, even if only by a little, heavy, uncomfortable, and don't breathe well. This time of year and when it gets warmer I'll rock some tall snake boots. But in the deer woods I've moved to some ankle high Merrels. They're gortex for if I accidentally step in a small puddle in the dark, but for the most part I can avoid water. And I don't buy into the whole "tall rubber boot with pants tucked in help scent control" thing any more. Ive had too many deer/pigs in my life hit my trail and spook while wearing big rubber clunkers to think they help all that much. I only wear them while hunting and always spray scent eliminator on them before heading out. MUCH more comfortable, help me be sneakier, and scent hasn't been an issue at all the past two years. If it gets colder I just add another sock.
