new boots for elk hunting

[Lost Arra]

I agree with BradLantz. Different boots for different folks. (I like Asolos and Montrails)

I guess I hunt elk differently than others here especially the guys who live in elk country and can hunt multiple seasons. I get to bowhunt elk for a week+ during archery season miles from the road in a small tent.

I'm not backpacking two or three pairs of boots into a wilderness area. My hunting boots are based on the backpack in and hopefully packing meat out. My elkhunting boots have to be good backpacking boots.

I love my Schnee's but I'm not packing 'em in just in case it snows.

b-dog,find something comfortable,this is an extremely mobile sport,like turkey hunting,when you need to move you gotta move,these critters can cover a lot of ground quick and usually its straight up and straight down all day long,not much down time,elk dispise flat ground,won't go near it,thats the way it seems anyway.its the sidehilling and the down direction that get my feet the most,i like hikers but regardless of what you get,they better fit,you'll be one miserable amigo if they don't.
