Thread: Stalking shoes

I don't think I'll replace them tbh.

If I had a honey hole that I hunt regularly, which didn't require much of a walk to get there, or I could pack in with normal boots then do short day hunts out of close to camp, then the vibrams would be a good option

Yeah I always take the big boots for hike to and from hut/camp to hunting area then socks on for the sneaky bits. Hate carrying a load of meat without boots.
