RE: lets see your boots
Check out Redwings "Irish Setter" or Danners. I own both brands and have been extremely happy.
My Dannershave been the"Canadians" they have been put through the paces from our wet elk season (sept) to our whitetail season in November (snow and well below zero) and passed with flying colours. They maybe more money then what your wanting to spend though up here they run 400 range. My Irish Setters have been the Big Game Trackers, equally they have withstood the same hunting conditions. Although they don't stand up as well but at 150 bucks they have been a good boot.(prices are canadian btw) I also use these boots for winter wear, skidooing, ice fishing, etc. Coupled with good sock combosmy feet stay comfortable with either brand.
FYI, the danners being all leather have better ankle support than the model of Irish Setters I have, so make sure you consider that if you'll be tackling hillsides when comparing boots.
