When it comes to insulation remember that you will need less of it hunting elk or mule deer in the mountains than you would hunting in oklahoma (I'm assuming you are whitetail from a stand, but correct me if i'm wrong) because you will be walking all day and you will warm up very quickly. If you are hunting archery season you will need little or no insulation. Rifle season you will need a little more, but probably not more than 600.
Elkbane, I definitely do a lot of hunting from atreestand but Iwas born and rasied in Wyoming. I've spent a lot of time in the mountains hunting just about everything but I've never had a pair of boots that were strictly for a pack trip, mostly day or weekend trips that weren't nearly as involved.

We'll be driving in and then hiking, hunting, and camping for 11 days.We'll behunting in theBig Horn mountains innorth central wyoming.My dad has hunted this area sincethe early 60's and I've been there my whole life.
I guess I really won't need much insulation as these will from now on be my early season pack boots.
brother hal- I'm not too worried about the cost, I just want the highest quality I can find.
