I asked Tony this question while on our hunt, then a butterfly flew by or a coyote track or scat appeared in the road and I don’t’ remember hearing his thoughts on it or even contemplating it any longer. And seeing that I’m rained in for the next few days I thought I ask the forum. Pants inside the boots or out?
Several of the trappers I knew always wore pants in the boots to cut down on the dander & scent some would even go as far as cuffs on sleeves or most gloves to the shoulder and hip boots while setting traps, this was in Alaska and they target wolf and wolverine and they had to get them in the trap, not just within rifle range.
Now lots of us in snake country put up with the PITA of snake boots but many of us prefer to wear reg boots or even tactical tennis shoes with pants outside. And every stand does not allow us to approach from one direction of downwind and we may have to cross a pasture or a coyotes approach at some point getting to our stand location.
So what are the thoughts on this, is it worth it? I don’t’ see where it will hurt other than the PITA on a hot day, and it will cut down on ticks & chiggers I guess
