Best Boots for Elk Hunting Late September Colorado?

The one's with an Elk standing broadside at twenty yards in front of them!
                                     


     Seriously I have Meindl's and Russells both are fine boots, I think the Meindls have better support and the Russells can't be beat for all day comfort. I've packed loads with both and both have held up well for me.

The only thing I would add is whatever boot
you end up with, make sure they are broke in.
And carrying some big bandaids doesn't
hurt neither.  I have gotten blisters
with comfortable broken in boots while packing
out the meat.
up and down, up and down, up and down.
My first pack was brutal.  I was wearing a brand new pair of boots.

I have hunted elk here in Colo for over 30 yrs.  I always wear the work boots that my feet are used to.  Why change when you wear them every day.  I also take some boots with the rubber bottoms and leather tops / insulatated liners for when we get snow on the ground.  
Never had a problem.  When you wear your boots only for hunting your feet never get used to them.
