Hi all,
I'm curious as to what your boots of choice are when it comes to hunting in Oregon climates on both sides of the mountain. Both wet and mild and high and dry. While I'm knowledgeable with gore-tex and boot construction, I'm fairly unknowledgeable when it comes to Thinsulate numbers. I am one who tends to overdo everything but I don't want to oversweat my feet with 1000g of Thinsulate when in reality in oregon you're looking at at warmer temps. I prefer a stiffer sole overall but don't know if it's generally needed for a general deer here. I plan to put in for an elk tag next year and if I am successful I don't to screw myself by getting something too soft. I'm curious what is everyone's go-to boot choices here in the PNW. If I could afford Kenetreks or Schnees I would but I'm looking more around the $300 range max.
Thoughts?
