If you are going to do a lot of still hunting, I'd recommend Danner 1600's.

I have wolverines. One guy I hunt with has rocky's and the other wears irish setters. All are least 2 years old with around 800g of trinsulate.These I havementioned are all in the $100-150range. I would suggest at least 1200g if the temp drops to zero.

This could be the best $60-70 you'll ever spend if you hunt in cold temps. Mickey Mouse Army isuue cold weather boots.

I bought a Cabela brand boot last year and love them. I used to be 100% Rocky until Cabela came out with a tall rubber boot (which I prefer), 2000 gram insulate, for $90. My feet were always the first thing to get cold....and when they did, the hunt became miserable. Since I got the 2000 gram, my feet haven't gotten near as cold.

Muck Woody Extremes! They cost around $139.99, but I am telling you they are awesome. I have hunted in them in about 17 degrees and noting but warm feet. They are rated to -40 below. Not only are they warm, but waterproof. Where I hunt I have to cross 2 streams that are about 14inches deep...NEVER HAS MY FEET BEEN WET with these boots. I was skeptical at first because I had a cheaper pair of "wal mart" rubber boots before that were 1200g thinsulate but my feet got cold. Not with these! Also they are very easy to put on and take off. The upper part of the boot just simply rolls down for easy on and off. When it is cold I wear my scentlock savanna coveralls and an insulated bib plus thermals ans these boots easily slip over all of my clothes. I love 'em!

I have the muck woody elite's. I love them. Don't try them on unless your serious about spending some money right after.
