    Agree on dunlops, forum member put me onto em , more comfortable for my duck feet than skellerups
    Will I hunt with em , yes I do , within 200m of vehicle
    M8 buy proper boots , or end up with flippers like I got , wider than they long

    There are threads and threads on Buller gumboots for hunting. Had supply issues so changed to leather which have advanced a lot since the dsys of John Bulls, Anson D rings and Paraflex.
