RE: Rubber boots vs gortex scent supressant boots
To tell you the truth, I don't like rubber boots. I hav wore them in the past and no matter what you are going to sweat in them. By the time I take them off at the end of the day, my socks are pretty much saturated. Now to me this is kind of self defeating. You don't want to sweat for a few reasons which I don't want to get into. Even though, odor from the sweat can not go through the rubber, it still has to go somewhere. - Out the top. Even though it is not getting transmitted directly to the ground though the boot, it will still get there, and on you pants, and other places.
To make a long story short, I would go with the gortex, stay dry, and leave your hunting boots in areas where they can not pick up and absorb scent.
