Ive worn rubber boots for deerhunting and scouting for the last 25 years. Started with Northeners from farm and fleet, then Rockys, which I thought was hard to get on and off, then to La Crosse Burlys, which Im presently using and I really like. I treat them like any other piece of my bowhunting equipment, keep them clean and oder free and they will serve you well. One thing Ive noticed with rubber boots is that after a few years it seems that the inside oder of the boots gets stronger.You have to keep in mind that every time time you take a step with rubber boots a puff of air or oder is emitted out the top of youre boot, acting some what like a chimney. For that reason I always wear my scentblocker pantleg over my boots, I never wear them tucked in my boots. I watch a lot of hunting videos every year. I really like the Drurys. But I see alot off hunters in videos wear their pantlegs inside their rubber boots. Then last year I was watching a Drury video and the president and founder of scentblocker was on their. The Drurys are promoting scentblocker being that their one of their sponsers. Anyway he went on to say how hunters should always wear their scentblocker pantlegs over the boots, not tucked in, to help contain any oder being emitted out the top. I hope this little tid bit can be of use to some of you hunters. I have a question that I hope some one can answer back on. Has anyone out their tried the pinnacle zipper boot with Gore-Tex Scent-Loc, its sold thru cabels I see. Good luck hunting this fall.
