Gee, what about the heavy cordura nylon type boots then??????
I crossed an orchard twice daily everytime I went to my hunting spot this year.....I saw as many deer in that orchard coming and going as I did sitting on stand. They didn't stop and refuse to cross the scent trail. Never let on they even noticed....To qualify, I did not have permission to hunt here, just cross the field.
My boots are waterproof, not scent-loced, and I kept them either by the back door or even in the closet.
