im looking for a new pair of hunting boots. i walk alot and trash through marshy lands aswell. and nothing beats bustig wet nasty westside brush.

anyway im looking for a gortex, light, insulated or not doesnt matter. and under $150

i have had the same pair of danners for 3 years now and have loved them to death always stay dry and warm. and that model is no longer made. at least i cant find them on the danner site. one of the stiches ripped this year so now my left foot gets wet.

so im thinking of trying another boot...well im gonna try another boot lol sence i cant find this model anymore.

anyone got a good light waterproof boot i should give a shot?

thanks alot

well first of all i would send them back to danner and see if they can fix them... nothing like a good pair of boots and its tough to see good ones die.
The boots i wear are Cabelas Master guide boots and they are $99. check them out.

i wear my danners 90% of the time in september when i am elk hunting so its not a big deal. i wanted a little warmer pair for later in the season.

i think im just gonna take mine to a repair shop by my house. but still a good idea to get a new pair i think.

i was looking at the ones you mentioned. how are they for waterproofing?

pretty good but i do like to snow seal the outside.

thanks

Danner Pronghorns.

They might be $10-15 more than you want to spend though.

I've got a pair of Danner Hood Mt. Lights and really like them, but they're a bit more spendy. Danner's stitched boots that are made in Portland like the Trophy, Grouse, etc., are all gonna be $200-300. But I don't think you can go wrong with the Pronghorns (molded sole, not stitched) for around $150. They're light, gore-tex, really comfortable, etc.

jackal's are the ones i have now. i just found them on their site. i thought that were an upland game boot. so thats why i didnt see them in the first place.

they are seriously the best boot i have owned also i had pronghorns but never got to wear them. someone else decided they liked them more then me and barrowed them out of my car.

well at least now i know i can get the same pair of boots i have now, that i love. or i can try a new pair

idk hmm

thanks for all the tips guys.

I was a die-hard Danners fan until I discovered White's insulated and Muck Boots.

i want a pair of muck boots so bad. but i just cant get myself to buy them. im not a fan of that style boot. but i know they will serve their purpose perfectly.

anyway i baught a new pair of danner pronghorns today. $179 at gi joes...went down to outdoor cause i get discount for being a member. and they were only $139...then on sale for only $119 plus member discount.

talk about a big discount, im sure glad i held out for the extra %5 at OE then to find them that much less and on sale. IM STOKED!!! lol usually i just buy then find out they were cheaper.

this time i was smart

Do it, you won't be dissapointed. I bought my dad a pair of Woody Max's for duck hunting and now he wears them for everything from elk hunting to steelheading all winter. Never has cold feet and says their the most comfortable boots he's ever worn.

best pair ive ever had are the cabelas outfitter series, 600gram insulation 12in high. i have never gotten wet with them things and have hiked 18miles in a day with them and my feet were fine. only cost 169 too, its alot i guess but way worth it

another good boot is irishsetter elk trakkers, my dad got a pair and so far have worked well for him, bout the same price

i looked at the elk trackers, but couldnt bring myself to paying the price for them.

i ended up with a good pair of boots though. if these pronghorns last as long as my danner kackals then i will be happy.

I have to double on the cabelas outfitter. I had a pair of danners and took them on a dall sheep hunt outside denali. Brand new at the time and after 50+ miles of walking(it was rugged country but come on) the boots had each ripped out on the inside seam. Brought them back and got a new pair after some serious time through sportsmans but my bro and buddy each had cabelas. Their boots held up great. Just my experience.

georgia boots are good, along with danners, or irish setters.

I have a pair of muckboots and love them. I also have a pair of the Danner Pronghorns. Very light and comfortable as well. Mine are not insualted however.

so far my pronghorns have been great. but hey my other danners were great for 2 years until i ripped a stiching. so it was expected that the pronghorns would be great as well.

WOW, I just read the 1st page for what you paid for your Pronghorns. What a great price!!!!

yeah well today they leaked like i was wading in 3ft of water lol

it was a pure down pour today all day while hunting. kinda gladididnt pay $170+ for them like i have seen them everywhere else.

my other danners never leaked or anything at all even when walking in marshy areas up to 6" deep...
