Elk hunting is an exciting adventure for hunters and requires the proper footwear. Most elk guides will advise you against rubber boots and recommend ones made from leather instead. Secondly, for hunting during the winter season, you should get insulated boots and uninsulated one's if hunting in the summer. Elk guides recommend boots with a good height as these provide good ankle support and are warmer. Lastly, get a size that fits snugly - but also gives your feet room to breathe.
