Good boot for hunting
I was just wondering what a good warm , water proof boot is for deer/turkey hunting and ice fishing? I hunt in Northern Wisconsin so it must be a very warm boot! Light weight if possible.. Thanks guys!

Check out the Muck Artic Pros. I've done a lot of research and they seem to get the best reviews. They are a little higher priced but spending the $$$ is a small price to pay to be able to stay out on my stand all day in the rut! Plus, this time of year you can get them a little cheaper than normal. I just bought a brand new pair off of ebay for $85.

I hunt South Dakota in the winters and I seem to do fine with a 400 gram insulated boot... I count on my socks to provide the insulation. Layer one pair thin nylon/polyester/spandex socks and one pair heavy wools over those... that way I can use the same pair of boots all season.
Currently using these: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Footw...3Bcat104841180 |

ok thanks guys! i'll be going with the muck boots then. I've got some other rubber insulated boots from a army navy store and had them for a year or two and they started to crack and the bottom actually started peeling/cracking right off the boot itself. pieces of junk. But any certain model of boot i should use??? And Psylocide, 400 gram wouldn't be nearly enough for the conditions i go out in. Thanks though!

With the Mucks, take a look at the ratings. They aren't like normal boots. I personally get cold feet pretty easy so I went with the Arctics. I know the Woodys are great too. Make sure to get them a little big so you can wear some thick socks with them. I can't wait for fall to try my new ones out.

My wife has a pair of Lacrosse Alpha Burly's in 800 grams that she loves. I'm more inclined toward pack boots myself.
