For bow hunting from October-through November, like someother folks have already mentioned-I wear insulated Lacrosse Alpha Burlys with a poly-propolyne liner and a good merino wool sock.
Once the temps drop, I tend to favor the Cabelas Guide series pac boots. They're toasty for sedantary hunting with removable wool liners and even have a built-in sleeve for toe warmers (haven't had to use them yet)
For upland duties, I also like Rocky's but have also hunted with lightweight leather/cordura Wolverines for a number of years with good success. I also use comfort gel inserts in all of my boots for extra cushioning and arch support. IMHO, it's money well spent at the end of a long day- no sore, aching feet.
