RE: Rubber Boots.....Anybody ever hear this?
 

Moho speaks the gospel.

I was hunting my first season.....and I like to walk through a creek.....getting water and then mud on my boots before actually walking to stand.

I'd patterned these same 4 does for several days.....and I knew they'd come by....just didn't know if I'd have sufficient light to see to shoot by. 'Ol mama doe comes by last.....in the dark....and sticks her nose STRAIGHT to the ground.....RIGHT on my entry trail. She followed it RIGHT to the base of my tree. I could see her.....but didn't have enough light to see my pins.

I also had FAWNS do the same thing, last year, in a field.....on more than one occasion. Rubber boots aren't the "end all".....but there's something to be said (and likely TRIED) to MOho's method.

This wasn't off the Lacrosse website was it? I'm kiddin, ofcourse. I never heard of any loss of rubbers ability to retain scent.

Take it or leave it, Motown? I'll leave it... I'll just keep on wearing my good ol' black Converse All-Stars and stomp a cow pie or three during a day of hunting. You have to do pretty muich the same thing when wearing rubber boots - to cover up the smell of those volatile oils and stuff that leach out of the synthetic rubber, no doubt - and my canvas shoes are a heckuva lot more comfortable than rubber when the October temps are up in the 80's and 90's.;)

I can only lead you to the water Author, I can't make you drink it.

Go barefoot and walk through smashed apples and cow crap before going into the woods.

Lead me to a bottle of scotch, Motown, and then we'll talk. [8D]
