Well here is my thinking and if it is wrong please let me know. I am thinking about getting the Cabela's snake boot and for kicking around and bear baiting, getting a pair of rubber barn boots. Then this summer, save up and get a better pair a rubber boots for bowhunting. That way, I will have two good pairs that will not take the everyday abuse that the barn boots will. So for $200 I will have a pair of snake boots, nice rubber boots, and a beat around pair.
