I have had deer smell where I walked with rubber boots but never did they become alarmed. I even wear rubber chest waders across a seige field to get to one of my stands and have had deer walk across my path 10 minutes later and not become the least bit alarmed. The Elimitrax probally does work well, but I guarentee a good pair of rubber hip waders works just as well.
I WILL ALWAYS WEAR MY RUBBERS![&:][:-]
