Thread: Stalking shoes

I tried a pair of these ($20 from the Field days https://boonies.co.nz/product/reef-shoes/
stalking in on red and sika stags this year.
I shot a sika @ 8m & 35m( heading out fast but still quiet) and a red @10m (had a hind with him) wearing them also could have shot a sika hind @10m . I was WAY quieter and faster than with my boots on. It was rare to break any sticks/twigs with them on.
This helped balance the noise of my dog with me. (his first hunts in the bush - what champ he is already)
I stashed my boots after walking into the 'stalk zone' and then returned to them so I didn't have to carry meat too far with the sneaky shoes on.
