Hi all.
I'm a "new" hunter since going on VA and moving to Taos, NM.
I bagged my first cow elk in the coveted Valle Vidal area on my first hunt as an adult. Okay so I bagged a few dog-sized Florida deer and some varments as a kid, but..... Lucky? I reckon. BUT...
My feet got insanely cold after I put her down and I had to wait for my partner to climb up to where I was so we could get 'er down. I put 'em under her to keep 'em warm. I had Wally World Thinsulated hiking boots and one pair of wool sox. NOT GOOD.
SO::: this is for fellow hunters in the NNM and Southern CO area:
Boots? Dry feet is the #1, but what about insulation? I'm looking into getting some all leather 800G or some "new, used" Buckmasters with inserts and "duck" bottoms except for an aggressive tread for climbing the rocky terrain. What is the preferred boot for our area?
Thanks in advance!
