RE: Rubber boots vs gortex scent supressant boots
Rubber Boots, only way to go,
Last year I was wearing gore boots and I sprayed them down with some kind of blast this or that scent killer.
walked down a trial that didn't have any overhanging limbs or high grass, buck came to the trail and stoped right on it. dead sniffed the ground and took off!
Two weeks later the same buck walked right up to me on the same trail. I was wearing my new rubbers baby! never sniffed the trail.
I have Itascas from Gallyans. 600gram insulation.
Good luck,
