boots or mocs?

[huntertrapper]

anyone wear moccasins when hunting. they are quieter and less bulky but you step on one sharp stone or stick while on a stalk the jig is up. my dads friend takes his boots off and stalks if he sees a deer. but i just figure wear moccasins so you dont have to put boots on and off. i went a whole summer wearing mocs when i was in the woods and even stores . i was walking through creeks and my feet were always wet from dew. i even wore them to work on roofs. it makes ya appreciate boots.

I go barefoot from spring till fall. And occasionally in the winter if I'm too lazy to put shoes on . Quietest thing there is. I do have a pair of mocassins that I wear when it gets colder, but I loathe hunting in boots. It's like wearing a coat- too cumbersome and loud for my tastes .

you go barefoot all day? do you hunt from a stand? i stalk around a lot or sit under a tree so i need quiet shoes. maybe ill try barefoot almost all year.

[Kegan]

Yup . I stalk- I don't have the patience for sitting in a stand/blind. It's been several years running where I've gone without shoes as much as possible. Early archery and small game season are my favorites because my feet are still tough from the summer, and the weather isn't cold enough to drive me into shoes yet

i dont think id even be allowed to do that. i get another rap cause i wear "stupid" moccasins

  I hunt in Moc's or boots. It depends on how many snakes I see. As far as your feet getting wet, that's a gimme down here. I have hunted in Flip- Flops too.

[huntertrapper]

you wear flip flops?

[cowboy]

I need to get or make me a good pair of moskins for still huntiin, these work boots are a tad bulky. Flip flops, now that's an idea - got some roman sandles too, hmmm....

aint to bad here in early archery. first day this year was pretty chilly i think was low forties or high forties in the morning and breezy

Hey I have kicked my boots off and went in my socks to stalk a deer ,stayed within 30 yards of it for about an hour never harvested it just fun following it around there is a site called crazy eagle it is a native American site sells moccasin kits plains style hard sole but the hard souls are not like waishishu souls
