.....after six years of pretty hard use. I had a lot of days in them chasing coyotes, deer, turkeys and squirrels, and even took them to Alaska twice moose hunting.  ;yes; But the uppers finally wore out and started leaking.   :sad: So yesterday I went and bought a new pair, and wore them for the first time this morning while turkey hunting. Looks like they're going to work out okay.  :thumb2:

Mossberg 835 slays another one. Ok, maybe the boots didn't have much to do with it.  :shrug:


Aren't they pretty?

Muck Fieldblazer, Dale. Very comfortable, waterproof, and reasonably warm.

I'm not sure how many that makes Glen, but I think it's around eighteen or nineteen. I shot the first one about this time in 2010, and a bunch since then. Our season limits are very generous; we're allowed two in the spring season and four in the fall (some of them must be taken with archery equipment). That can add up pretty quick if you have a good population and you get lucky.

I've been pretty lucky.  :biggrin:

Still a nice bird for sure. I didn't get to fall turkey hunt this year & barely got to deer hunt with the ML last week.

Nice boots, nice bird, and the only thing that I can think that would make it better would have been if it were about me.  (See, I am learning from the liberals - I didn't do anything but sit here and I think that it all should have been mine.)

being originally from PA, cold snow, etc in the winter time I've got several pair of the muck boots... a 8" high pair for wet and lite snow, and another set I special ordered, about the height yours are but with the chain link sole...

reason being for the chain link sole is it grips well in snow and ice but it doesn't pick up and hold mud or snow... this is a great convenience when we're out calling and not dragging a lot of snow and other muck into the truck all night long...

love me some Muck boots...
