After reading through the boots thread, it is apparent many people like the Irish Setter boots. After looking on the net, I realised there are so many different models, it is hard to choose from.

What is your model and do you like them? I am looking for a pair of boots that will be moose/deer boots, so the odd wetland, swamp is going to happen.

suggestions?

I have the Elk trackers. I love them for all types of hunting. I would agree that the only down side is that they are too warm to wear in the spring.

I know a few people with the elk trackers, they love them. my GF wears them too, but she doesnt pound the hard core terrain like some do.

I have been wearing the Elk Trackers for a couple years now. I like them in the late season. I used them for my early season back pack hunt this year and they were WAY to warm. Having my Elk Trackers and the Lowa sheep hunters now,I got all the areas covered.

Alpine, if you don't mind my asking, do you recall how many grams of thinsulate your boots have? The Elk Trackers come with 600-1200.

I was leaning towards 600-800


I've been looking at the Elk Trackers and Tamaracks. Just looking for feedback on these or the other models

thanks guys

My Elk Trackers have 1000 gram, I bought them in Penticton from Fritz Shoes and they were $189.

I also have the elk trackers with the 1000 gram insulation. It is a pretty good late season boot but it is definatly to warm for any hunts earlier then october.
