Boot for later rifle seasons in the west

[Sharpspur]

I've never hunted the western mountain states past the end of september. I'm moving from WI to Northern Utah. Plan will be to hunt surrounding states late season rifle and Spring bear. Here in WI we run 1600g rubber boots. Obviously those aren't going to cut it out west. My question is what gram thinsulate are most guys running out there? 400, 800, or 1000 in a mountain hiking style boot.

I use uninsulated year around over here.

I think it depends if you’re gonna be moving a lot, or just sitting. I wear Lowa tibets for late season and it’s been in the negatives on numerous occasions. I believe they are 200g insulation, but paired with gaiters for the snow, they are always fine. I grew up hunting Whitetails in the Midwest and would use pac boots back there, but not here.
