A kind gentleman, Mr. Paul Mullins, saw my queries here and sent me an e-mail. It seems a feed store near him sells Muck boots and it is where he got his. He offered to check stock for a pair for me at their reasonable price if I'd supply stats for my "foots".
I understand a lot of feed stores and horsey places handle them, as well as garden shops. Anyway the upshot of the whole thing is the gent picked me up a pair and sent them my way - and didn't even wait for my money order to get there first (partly so we'd know shipping cost but mostly out of a good heart and trust, I prefer to think). So again the circle (of trad decency)is continued and I will have a pair of Edgewater Muck Boots, not only for this deer season but for Spring Turkey season as well. Thank you Paul.
