I'm looking for a good pair of rubber knee high type boots to where while chasing the elusive rooster. Saw a pair of these at Gander and they looked pretty nice and felt pretty comfy. I have several pairs of less expensive rubber boots but my feet and ankles get very sore when I wear them for a day. I dont want to buy another pair of poor boots. anybody have any input on these boots?

I have a pair of the camo muck boots. I wear mine for grouse and pheasant hunting alot. I wear a good pair of wool socks in mine and I able to walk all day. No pull on boot will give you the support of a lace up boot. But my Muck boots are well made and have been durable going on their 3rd season. If they wear out I'm buying another identical pair.

I've had a pair of Muck boots and Muck camp shoes for at least 6 years now. They are well made and are comfortable. Awesome for turkey hunting!

Good Luck!

If something would happen to the pair I have now I would definetly buy another pair. They are very comfortable and light.

I've had a pair for five years now and love them.

I use them mostly for fishing but have hunted in them as well. They fit nice and you can walk in them all day.

i just wish they were made in USA, honestly I give preference to companies that employ American workers, Mucks are made in Taiwan or some place. Too bad, I have heard great things, but for that kind of money, my dollar goes to the American worker.

I've had a pair of Muck Boots for a few years now. I'll definitely replace them with the same if they ever wear out.

Very comfortable and lightweight with no flopping around on your foot. I look forward to slipping them on. I use mine for everything.

Probably had mine for about 4 years or so. Can't say about walking in them all day hunting. But they are my go to boots when it is wet out. Very comfy. When it's cold I put a heavy pair of socks on. Even the water proof leather boots when they get wet you can feel the cold moisture through the gortex and your feet may not be wet. Very glad I bought them.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
