[QUOTE="Rhino Hunter, post: 1728550, member: 25461"] I have a pair of Schnee Hunter boots. I believe they're very similar to the Western Packer, but shorter. I like them a lot for the right application. They're warm if you're active, but not for sitting in an unheated blind all day. They're waterproof, the air bob soles clean out great, they're fantastic for sneaking/still-hunting through the woods, and they're very easy to dry out by removing the felt pacs and placing them next to a heat source. But (there's always a but) they don't have a stiff sole which is why they're great for sneaking. If you're going to walk a lot in the mountains I think your feet/ankles might get a little tired/sore from to boot flexing as much as it does. I really like my boots, and have used them for hunting elk in the past but I've moved on to stiffer boots in winter conditions in mountainous areas. Because the Western Packer is taller they might be a little bit stiffer than the Hunter. I hope this helps. Good luck on your elk hunt! [/QUOTE]
