I spent 4 hours hunting the Los Padres National Forest. Desert/mountain conditions. Bagged 3 California Quail (an oxymoron) and realized, MY BOOTS SUCK!   Gokey? Kangaroo Others? What do your "dogs" say?

I love Beans Maine Hunting Boot, but would love to try a pair of Danner grouse boots.

Red Wing Irish Setters. Get the ones that don't have the stitched seam around the top of the toe. I'm pretty sure you have to go to an actual Red Wing dealer to get that model. I don't know if there is an uninsulated model available, I doubt you would need the 32 grams or, whatever it is, of Thinsulate that are built into these.
The pair I have now is most of a decade old and is just geting broke in perfectly. I've owned a bunch of them, and never had a pair I was unhappy with. Broke through the ice pheasant hunting today, and they still hold the water out.
Good thing, it was cold out there.
Best,
Ted

And the nominees for the " I think I can get one more season out of these..." are Bob Cash and "California Quail'...

Bob, thats some kinda beat up boot man. That top one looks like a kinda hybrid brown trout/snake head/alligator that could bite your toes off....
Did you get your moneys worth out of them??
Man, that last pic of the spiky thing looks awful, what the hell is that?...Cholla?
thank god they are not here up in NH.
I think a new pair are in order
