[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1144428, member: 55230"] HECK no to the mucks. Bumpkin is on to something there, but if it is a december hunt you'll want some insulation and probably some gaiters too keep you dry. With that said go to an rei and try some on, I don't think they'll have danners but they will have far better boots. I've had good luck w/ lowas right out of the box break in, but it would be ideal if you could get a pair to wear around to break in. Get some good wool socks too. Smartwool (i like the phd's) or some darn toughs are good too. Remember if your feet are miserable you will have a terrible hunt. This is a place where it doesn't pay to cut corners. You don't need a nightforce to make a 1000yd shot, but you'll need good boots to go that extra mile... or should I say miles! And depending on your pack out your feet will thank you. [/QUOTE]
