Hip Boots

I have hunted moose in Sweden every year for the last 15 years. The terrain there is somewhat similar to the Alaskan terrain. Anyways, I usually use knee high rubber boots and I have never gooten wet. I have been reading in various magazines that hip boots are reccomended for Alaska. Do you think knne highs are good enough or should I invest in hip boots? Thanks for the advice.........Peter

Hunting Tip: Green Winter Plots

Winter is tough on whitetails, that is an accepted fact. You can help the quality of your herd by providing winter plots - that are not necessarily designed as kill plots. Having what I call green plots - that the deer can browse in when most of the other food is gone, can greatly benefit the deer herd when they need it most. Come December - at least in our area of the south - most of the mast is gone, all of the crops were long harvested and this green browse can really make the difference for...
