    Boot lifespan? Danner Pronghorns not holding up

    best pair of boots I had was an old pair of Rocky's- lasted about 15 years of A LOT of upland bird miles and several seasons of western elk/deer hunting. Incredible. I've now had a pair of Schnee's Beartooths for 3 years. Really good until this year when several holes have appeared. Not sure...

    BOSS 20 gauge 2 3/4" #5 for ducks

    I used 20ga #5's for wild pheasants this year, and they worked well. I'd like to use them for ducks, but it's cost prohibitive for me for waterfowl.

    Hunting Camp/Wall Tent Questions

    It's a lot to deal with, but we enjoy it. We also have people that can't hunt much but still love being at camp.

    Sad

    I used to wade across the Bitterroot River in college; always coming within a couple inches of the top of my waders while on my tiptoes. I was often by myself, in the dark. So dumb. The duck hunts could be excellent, though!

    Why do you like your gaiters?

    I also won't be getting another pair of Kenetreks. Mine get the most use upland bird hunting in the Midwest. Mine do not cinch well at the top and were badly frayed at bottoms and along seams during year 2. This is my 3rd year using them and both buckles have ripped of the gaiters. I'm going...

    First lite furnace base layers?

    I own the bottoms and love them. Very warm. If I'm not going to be very active, they are my primary bottom base layer when temps are below freezing.

    Pick me out a set of waders

    It's a real crap-shoot. I have had best luck with cheap, breathable cabelas brand waders, BUT, that was before Bass Pro bought them out. My understanding is quality is down across the board now. I'm going to try High N Dry next, but agree that higher cost does not in any way guarantee better...

    Hunt elk hunting grind for newbie

    I assume this is another adult and not a child? Set the expectations before the hunt, so there is no confusion about what a typical day is like when you hunt.

    Is it just me or are Schnees boots getting worse?

    I'm on my 3rd season of Beartooth's and have been very pleased, but they are the only Schnee's I have purchased. I also got them on a 20% sale I believe.

    Anyone have a $399 walmart wall tent?

    We had an employee stay in one from May-mid Sept in Alaska. I'd put another tarp over the top for heavy rains, but it did surprisingly well! I was very skeptical, but became impressed, actually
