Looks good and they are probably made for Cabelas by Irish Setter. Price is good but the tread isn't what I would want in a hunting boot if you were in rocky slippery or steep terrain. Sounds like you are in more of a piney semi arrid situation so they might be good. The beauty of Cabelas is if you don't like them send them back. A couple of years ago I bought a pair of their rubber 2000 gram insulated rubber boots for ice fishing and they cracked at the ankle after 14 months of ownership ( I used them about every day for the 3-4 month season). I complained and they requested that I send them back for evaluation. They sent me a full refund which was pretty good. I wouldn't buy a pair of leather boots without trying them on though. If you are going to buy from Cabelas, Bass Pro, Sportsman's Warehouse or whatever go to the store. I know right away if a pair of boots is good just by trying them on and walking around. Buying a pair of boots and having to break them in isn't the way I like to do it. Some boots just plain fit and when you try on different brands you will see the difference.
