Best hunting occurs in the snow. I use labs for late season roosters. Pheasant aren't bothered by cold typically like quail
My th9n skinned dogs stay at home
Absolutely right, I've personally nevered used a thermal available to the normal market. But spent a lot of time using other areas , it would be a game changer if the technology is similar.

I use motorcycle tubes. Works as well as any other boot,but comes with all the issues you mentioned. I feel like foot care is just a battle on multi-day trips. I'm going to try just vet wrap and tape. I'm not convinced you can condition the feet enough to last in chukar country without boots...
It's funny how time changes perspective. I didn't vote for him, and I was pissed how he handled the crisis with Iran. Now looking back, I think he showed great maturity and restraint. I think history will be very complimentary of his presidency. Wish he could be there to run today.
