I am a little unclear if we are only talking about hunting boots or boots in general, but for everyday work wear, I am a Redwing fan. My only complaint about Redwing as a company is that as soon as I find a style that I like they are usually discontinued (example models 1183 and 2283). I raise cattle and own a farm service business and have tried Rockies and Danners, but neither held up in the environment that I work in. Both Rocky and Danner boots that I have worn are very comfortable, and I am sure would make great "hunting" boots. I generally wear the same clothes and boots from the cow pasture to the deer stand and have found that cow crap on my bootsmakes a great cover scent, but "hunting" boots don't hold up well in cow crap. Just my observation.
