needed a new winter boot for cold weather deer unting and ice fishing. a sit for long time type of boot. went with the arctic pro muck. who has these and whats your opinion please

Posted

Best rubber boot I have Had . Going on 2 years now and still waterproof and warm .They are not warm enough for 30 below but for most winter days they are good . Would not hesitate to buy again

Posted

I have a pair of camucks from Steger mucklucks, love them. My feet never get hot or sweaty but never get cold either. Nice to have warm feet but not hot. Wear them ice fishing a ton and for being in the woods they are quite as can be.

If its 30 below not much going on past my couch lol

No experience with mucks but I swear by Baffin.

I bought the arctic pro' last year and love them. Used them ice fishing, never had to use heavyweight socks with them.......you will love them

Posted

I've had a pair for 2 years also and love them. I use them ice fishing and deer hunting also. I would definitely get them again. I got mine new on hsolist from a reputable footwear seller and saved about $50 off retail.

I've tried a lot of other insulated knee boots and all have cracked at the bend point within a year. Pac boots are too bulky.

One thing Ive found out over the years that kind of surprised me at first is how boots are rated. I couldn't figure out how my feet would get cold even when my boots were rated for well -0. The ratings are active. Heck a guy could wear some pretty low insulated boots in cold weather if stomping around for grouse vs sitting still in a deer stand. That's two entirely different worlds😊

I don't know if they have changed but the one complaint I've heard is the lack of the little tab on the back of the heel making them a little tougher to get off. I just roll the top down half way. Before taking them off. Plus that way u can use them around deer camp, off and on in a snap

Enjoy the boots

looks like I madea good choice thanks guys. I bought my wife and daughters a pair of baffins last year rom recomendations here, they love them.

Did you guys buy a size bigger to fit better with heavy sox ? I might order a pair

Posted

You won't need heavy socks, midweight or lighter hiking socks are all you need, they are extremely warm

I have a pair of lacrosse alphaburly 1600gram boots. I have a few friends who have mucks and swear by them. I will say I think the mucks are more comfortable but haven't had the opportunity to wear them for more than a minute. I hate the weight of my lacrosse's, but am wondering if the mucks are as warm as the 1600grams of thinsulate in the lacrosse boots?

Posted

I love my Arctic Pro, light,water proof and warm. Also easy on and off. The biggest thing is to buy the right size boot and wear the right type of sock. I wear a size 11 shoe so I got a 12 in the Mucks because I use heavy weight Wool whisking socks. My feet stay dry and warm. I have been using these for 2 years without any problems. Before that I had the Lacrosse Iceman. They where warm but heavy.

Yea, been spending the summers in soldotna, working on the kenai and kasilof rivers. Only downside is it makes it tough to fish back in Minnesota after a summer of "real" fish

Posted

LOL! Real.fish no doubt. Caught my firstnand onlysalmon on the kenai standng elbow to elbow in combat fishing. Fun, made the trip. That and camping and catching crab on beach at Homer.

How much are you guys paying for your Arctic Pro Muck boots? I want to get a pair of these and it looks like Gander has them for $195.00, is that a good price?

Posted

I got mine on Evil ay for 125 last winter........

Posted

mine at shceels in fargo for 139.99

Posted

dont think anything at Gander is a good price.IMO

Posted

Scheels in St Cloud has them for $165 right now

Posted

+1

Unless on clearance. The regular priced items in that store is a joke. Dont know how they keep the doors open in Fargo.

Posted

To be fair, the ones BigDave was pricing at Gander were the Mossy Oak colored boots which are typically $30 more than the standard brown, which are around $165 at Gander.

About $135 with free shipping on evil bay is the best price I have seen for the brown ones. The best price for mossy oak I have seen is about $180.

Now on sale at scheels in st cload for 129.99 , yep I have a pair now they feel great

      What a difference a day makes.  Fishing was very slow today.  Biggest I caught was only 13 inches.  Marked a lot of fish but couldn't get very many to bite.   The wind was very strong today and did cause a little bit of drifting, but travel is still good on the latke.  Just avoid the snow banks and drifts.  Saw one house get pulled off the lake, and didn't see any new houses come out before I left the lake at 4pm.  Lots of snowmobiles and trailers in Tower.  At least the city and lake will be busy with those.   Good luck fishing if you go out the last weekend of the winter season.

      Ice condition didn't change much in the last week as shown in the McKinley Park photo from today.  The holes in my house froze all the way down in the last six days; 40 inches of ice now.  I drilled my two holes 24 inches and cleared the shavings out before reaching water.  Much cleaner way in a permanent house.   Fishing was pretty good today.  Caught two 24" walleyes, including the 5#-7oz fatty pictured.  Also caught a 19 incher.  Best bite was from 11 to noon.  Much better action with chubs than shiners today.  Never tried the pike suckers I had.   Good luck fishing the last weekend this winter.  Going to be very windy Friday, but drifting shouldn't b a problem since there is no loose snow on the lake.  Saturday and Sunday look to be very warm.  Still about 35 houses left out from McKinley Park.

      Haven't owned a hand auger in ages. Three feet of ice, couldn't imagine hand drilling a bunch of holes. I have an old gas auger you can use, if you can get it going 😀.
