The OP was about desert hunting!
I hunt in waders a lot but for mostly waterfowl hunting.
I have a pair of Le Chameau side zip but they are basically muck boots and not for the desert!
I have a pair of custom Limmer mountaineering boots but I would never hunt in the desert in them! Large toe box, you look like you have club feet, heavy construction, your ankle will not buckle and rocks make no impression.
Until i found Russell, I had two pair of Browning Kangeroo boots that were very comfortable but the Russell BirdHunters top them all for the conditions we are discussing, dry desert.
The acquisition of a pair of Russell's requires some work and a wait while they are built but there is just no comparison for the conditions that were Posted!-Richard
