Why Boots Matter for Deer Season

You can have the best rifle, perfect camo, and scent control dialed in but if your feet freeze or slip halfway to the stand, your hunt is already ruined. Deer season in 2025 is shaping up to be cold, wet, and muddy in many states. That means you need boots that balance warmth, waterproofing, and comfort for long hours outside.
