Boots for Saskatchewan Waterfowl ?

[SCHUNTER73]

I have a hunt planned in early October for ducks and geese in ag fields. First time for me, and I’m not sure what boots are best. Where I typically hunt, I generally only wear snake boots or uninsulated LaCross style boots. I am thinking that if it snows or is cold, I may want something with some insulation. Thoughts from those that have done hunt before?

I hunted around Dundurn and Outlook (south of Saskatoon) several times in early - mid October. I mostly wore my Browning un insulated kangaroo leather boots.
A couple of mornings I wore some Rocky boots with 500gram thinsulate.
I took waders but only wore them once or twice while hunting ducks around Indy lake.
If you get a chance don’t pass an opportunity to hunt sandhill cranes and upland birds, Hungarian partridge and sharptail grouse.
Hunted there from 2001- 2004 I believe.

You are probably fairly unlikely to get snow at that time of year up there, far more likely to be warm, at worst muddy. If a front pushes through it'll get a little cooler, but not enough to push any substantive snow.

10-4, thanks gents.

Back in my days in Saskatchewan hunting waterfowl we wore Muck Boots in the mud, water and wetlands, usually in the mornings.

The rest of the time, I wore standard upland boots, typically in the afternoon for Sandies in drier conditions.

Enjoy your hunt.

Muck Boots would be a great option. That's what I use goose hunting in Maryland which has similar weather in the mid to late season as you'll get up there in October.

Everyone should have a pair of Muck Boots, they are great and last nearly forever.

Good recommendation on the muck boots, they are very versatile. I have a pair and wear them on wet ground but they tend to make my feet sweat.
