I would tend to recommend Rocky boots also. Exactly which model depends on the type of hunting you do. I have three different Rocky boots, all of which are waterproof. The first pair has absolutely no insulation and I use those for September and early October hunting when the weather is kind of warm here. The other two pairs have insulation. One has 800 grams of Thinsulate and is relatively lightweight. I use that pair for upland hunting and hunting in weather that isn't extremely cold. The warmest pair of boots I have is a pair of Rocky Pac boots with 1200 grams of thinsulate in them along with a bootie covered in what looks like aluminum foil. I use those boots when I will be sitting on a deer stand or waterfowl blind for quite a while. They feel like bricks on my feet, but if I don't have to walk too much they are great. Plus, walking usually keeps me warm, so when I'm not walking I need the extra insulation.

Since your hunting conditions include cold, you need something with Thinsulate insulation. However, how much walking do you normally do on your hunts?
