When I got mine I believe they were normally almost $200 and I got them on a clearance sale on line at Cabelas for $109 plus tax.
Online sales may work, but as has been mentioned, if they don't fit it can be a pain to deal with... It would pay to go to a local store and try them on first.

In my area the trouble with waiting for the local stores to put their boots on sale is that when they finally do all you can find is the odd sizes that not many wear. I can rarely find my size in boots (10 1/2) at local Spring sales.

I love my "mickey mouse" military surplus boots for extreme cold sits.

Again, thank you for the replies. It seems that I have narrowed it down to the Irish Setter or the Cabela's Inferno.

Depends on your style of hunting. Are these boots for still hunting or stand hunting? Do you have long treks to your stand? Etc.

Do they keep your feet and toes warm at -20 deg in a deer stand?

I will mainly be using them for all-day still hunting.

I have a pair of Cabela's Inferno boots and Muck Boots Woody Elite. With the Muck Boots, my feet do get cold sometimes later on in the season here in Michigan. Overall I love the Muck Boots, because water is not a problem as long as it isn't over the top of the boot. I wear my Infernos for late season deer hunting and ice fishing. I've had them 2 years and I love them. My feet stay very warm most of the time. My feet did get slightly cold last week when ice fishing with them. It was -3 with a windchill of around -30, so everything was cold though. Just the other day I did have the top eyelet pop out of one boot but it should be an easy fix. I've had them for 2 years now and that's the first issue I've had.

Thank you for the replies. I guess now it all depends on which boot I can get a good price on.
