BASS Report post Posted February 8, 2006 Danner Pronghorn boots- By far the best boots I have ever owned. They are light and can take a beating. Right towards the end of there warranty period, one of them developed a leak and they sent me a new pair. I am sure mine had at least 60 miles on them. Oh yeah, my boots! I too bought a pair of the Pronhorns. Best boot I have ever bought. Infact I just put a new sole in them last weekend, and now they are even better. They are like wearing a good pair of tennis shoes now. I love those too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COOSEFAN Report post Posted February 9, 2006 What worked:? My classic featherweight Win. 270 with the B+C VXIII scope What didn't work:? My ability to hold out for " Muy Grande" Result:? Three coues bucks to the taxidermist in 3 months and a outrageous bill! ? ? ? JIM <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey Jim, Stop taking all those deer over to Bret. I want to get my elk back sometime this year. David <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey, don't worry David, my deer are getting pushed way to the back of the to-do list because I have no $$ being without a job for 6 months and spending your entire savings to hunt coues deer leaves you with nothing but a taxidermy bill! Hey, I buy only Danner boots and I buy the most expensive ones hoping they'll last longer than my previous pair, I can barely get a year out of them and I never even new there was a warranty on them like you talked about!? I just took my current pair over to Brets to sew the seems back together with taxidermy thread so I wouldn't have to buy a new pair for my Mex. hunt. My previous pair wore holes in the top of the toe area (leather) and leaked water in. They still last longer than any other boot I've used, but I'm very hard on boots.

Coues79 Report post Posted February 10, 2006 That's the funniest dang thing I've heard in a while. I've tried the same thing with my wife about the binoculars. Doesn't seem to work real great. Fortunately, I can say that I never have stepped in my own crap and had that taint for the day. What didn't work Leupold Vari-x-II. Missed a monster Mule deer, decent 3 point, and took 8 shots to kill a freakin' yote' at about 50 yards away. Sighted it in before the season and it was 8 inches off to the left. After sighting it in and having all this trouble, went to resight it and it was 8 inches off to the right. Definitely not the reputation that Leupold has. What did work Leupold Vari-x-I. Killed a bull on the last day of the hunt with literally 30 minutes left of daylight. What didn't work, Pack mule frame pack. The thing just sucks. Too dang squeaky and definitely not fit for hard hunting and walking. I broke a snap and a buckle on the first day of my deer hunt and had to use a lubricant to keep it from squeaking. DID NOT WORK__Carrying unsecured 4 wheeler down bumpy road in back of new Dodge cummins DID WORK My now new sliding rear window in above mentioned truck DID NOT WORK putting in for NM 24 elk for 3rd choice to get to hunt, there are not many elk in that stinking unit! DID WORK putting in for NM 24 elk for 3rd choice, at least I got to hunt!
