Boots: light and fast or heavy and bomb proof?

[Ucsdryder]

I went on an antelope hunt last night, then chased elk this morning. I wore the salomons on the antelope hunt and the schnees on the elk hunt. Those salomons sure are comfortable! It’s hard to describe, but it feels like my foot is wrapped in pillows, like my feet were swaddled just right!

Lacing up the schnees I feel like I’m Iron Man putting on my “shit’s gonna get real” boots.

Spent a week chasing moose in Colorado. I learned 3 things.

1. A full leather, mid-high top, fully waterproof boot, paired with good gaiters, is mandatory for stomping around in willow choked meadows and bogs.

2. Moose should be shot next to the road.

3. Rubber buck shot doesn’t work on moose!
