Hunting on foot trying to sneak up on a critter stickbow close rules out the chaps for me they are loud in briars and they are very hot.

 As far as not worrying about snakes I have to disagree. I have hunted southern swamps my whole hunting life and can tell you there will be snake encounters if you do it much. I have a friend that was bit on the foot another on the hand. The one bit on the hand had a thumb that looked like it was rotting off for about a year. My very Good Friend John Bookharts Granddad was bit in the face and died over 40 years ago.He lived in the swamp and he was not "green" in outdoor things he just had that one second he was`nt paying attention and it cost him.

  If your going hoghunting in a different area. A place much different than your acustomed to. Get the boots. Its a small price to pay for a little protection.

   Hunting on foot most of a day spot and stalk for hogs will not mix well with waders either.If you were on a short walk to a stand maybe but you would be a mighty tired fella if you wore them walking most of the day.RC

with out a doubt Russell Moccasin Co snake boots.  by far the best made.

Well I am from Florida, not too far from the Georgia stateline, and believe me meeting up with one of those kind in the photos will mess up your day or maybe week of hunting.

I would go with Cabela's lace up snake boots, I have a pair after a year they started leaking I returned them to Cabela's and they sent me a new pair no questions asked.

Best service I'v seen, had some real problems returning things to Bass Pro, and they weren't even used.

Mail order and save some taxes and if you don't like them or don't fit return them no problems.

I wouldn't hunt GA or Florida without them.

I have tried the redhead , lacrosse, and then I went tor the danner pronghorn. If you can afford them go with the danner I do not have any regrets. They are the  most comfortable snake boot made. The others will either leak water or hurt your feet or both.

Plus, if you buy a pair it gives you a reason to have to use them again...mule deer, pronghorn, javelina, more hogs, Africa....snakes live in alot of places   :goldtooth:

My plastic chaps zip up the back for easy on/off. PLenty area to breathe through the bottom & top. When they're trouble just stick them in your pack awhile. My snake boots are hotter. Both are too hot to be sure. JMEO, no tromping around snake country anywhere without something on whether snake boots or other. Not afraid of snakes at all, but they sure have my respect. Getting hit can ruin your whole day.

I bought a pair of the rubber snake boots made by cabelas and they are NOISY like you would not believe!

I've been wearing a pare of the Bass Pro lace ups for about 8 years now. Been leaking for 7 but they are so comfy I can't bring myself to replace them. Went to Bass Pro yesturday in Charlotte, NC. Didn't find a single pare that had the Bear Claw sole or that I liked as well as the ones I have.

It's not the arrival, it's the journey.

I  second what RC said about the Redhead zip up snake boots...Very good boot for the money....

As far as needing them or not....Early season I'm walking through places with lots of low green growth/weeds and I cannot see what's under that stuff and the snake boots give me peace of mind....
LONG LIVE THE LONGBOW!
