Guys like Jagermeister who don't own any double shotguns, and who feel compelled to pretend they own one after several years of admitting they don't, aren't going to spend $400.00 on French galoshes.

Guys like Jagermeister, who rent cheap Chinese .22 bolt action rifles and who can't complete the sale of relatively cheap guns they put on Layaway aren't going to be participating in any driven game shoots either.

But you don't have to worry about wearing out hunting boots when all you do is live a fantasy life on the internet.

I discovered Russels about 5 years ago and have been very pleased with the sheep hunter model hunting rough mountainous terrain. My feet are 2 different sizes and so the custom sizing is excellent for me. Some threads here caused me to question what else is out there and so I recently purchased a pair of Jaghund Potschund mountain hunters. One boundary hike later and so far I am pleased. I will report more once the season begins.

They're closer to $500 and worth every penny.

+1 for LImmer Boots. I also have their lightweight boots. The stock boots are made by Meindl.

I know every one favors the Chasseur by Le Chameau, but does anyone have any experience with the "lower grade" versions made by them? For example the Vierzon or Country?

I was in Covey & Nye in Manchester last August and stupidly passed on a pair of Le Chameau that were my size and being cleared out for $325. I had made a quick stop to check out their gun assortment, found they had little in stock because they had just moved and was thinking about that when I saw the boots on their sidewalk sale.

I'm still kicking myself.

I do most of my grouse & woodcock hunting in N. Michigan in tennis/running shoes with WalkFit arch supports, at least until snowfall, then I switch to my lightest weight uninsulated Muck boots.

And I shot a moose on a British Columbia mountain side last October wearing tennis shoes, but he was not up high enough to be in the shale/rock.

I get a kick out of the guys wearing high tech mountaineering boots hunting the gentle, rolling hills in here in Michigan.
