No to the Rubber Boots, same boots I have hunted with for the last three years. I have not had a problem with deer scenting me before with them.

I did change this year and instead of using "NoScent" spray went to the "EarthenScent." I have convinced myself to go back to plain No Scent but the guy I hunt with uses the Earthen Scent with effectiveness. His stand is only 5 yards from an open field with Cattle, mine is 150 yards into the woods, so maybe that is the difference. Irreguardless I am going back to Scent Free because it has worked well for me in the past.
