    If wearing just socks to be quieter works for some then good on them. Personally I dont try to be all that quiet. If game bolted at noise alone they wouldnt stop friggin running.
    I wear muck boots for a quick hunt and Lowa Tibet boots the rest of the time.
    I walk at a steady pace and may slow down a little in shitty areas but otherwise dont worry what noise my footwear makes as long is it is not too obvious. Red deer especially make a heap of noise moving thru cover and can sound just like a human cruising thru the bush/scrub. If you havnt alerted their other key senses they will nearly always hang around for a look and that, is generally too long for them.
    I found japs pretty much the same. Stewart Island Whitetail are a different kettle of fish all together, very spooky animal due too hunter pressure I reckon.
