Looking for New Boots and Opinions
#11
Danner Pronghorns are the most comfortable boot right out of the box I have ever worn. No break in required at least from the ones I have bought. I do have some concerns though since many of their current lines are made in China. Every boot I have liked fell down in my ratings when they moved from USA made.

I have a more peace of mind wearing 17" high waterproof, snake proof boots.Though the waterproof membrane may last only one year. I can easily ford low-level streams or rivers, briar proof; and I also tuck the bottom of my pants inside the boots, to help prevent ticks or field mice from crawling up under my pants. And it helps prevent me from getting spurred by toms or jakes in the turkey woods, after I step on the head an neck of a downed bird.
Really? You are worried about a Jake or Tom spuring you? You do understand the object of turkey hunting is to shoot and kill the turkey. Additionally, I have hunted northern and southern MD, just where do you need snake boots to hunt in MD? The more you post, the more I do not believe you ever hunted a day in your life!

My comments were more about the ridiculousness of being worried abut being spurred by a turkey. So far as snake boos go, wear them if you like, I have wandered around in PA where we have rattlers and Copperheads, I never was too worried about snake boots, if I am snake country I am aware of it and act accordingly. Snake boots for turkeys, give me a freaking break!

I took your question to mean that wherever he hunts in MD that there can't be snakes.....I wear my snake boots and as you read I am aware and cautious. However, I pretty much wear snake protection for the same reason that I wear seatbelts, just maybe they"ll save me pain or death. Good hunting to you.

None of the Danner or Irish Setter boots have lasted me very long. I finally purchased the Crispi Nevada boots and absolutely love them. They are boots that will last many many years and then will just be resoled to use again. They are expensive but the quality is so much better.
