Totally depends on the terrain and temperature but if I'm hunting fez on the flatlands with no snow I want something like these Keens -- good traction (while still being VERY lightweight), great comfort (esp. in the bottom/sole), waterproof and not hot (so not tall), and did I mention lightweight? Make that very lightweight. If it is wet out but I want to go anyway I will put a pair of gaiters on to keep my socks from getting wet.
I grew up hunting birds in the mountains and would not have dared to wear a light boot like this for that, but for the grasslands I'm hunting now they are perfect, and the heavy leather boots with vibram soles are like anchors on my 76 year old legs. I can hunt all day in these.

Kenetreks are 25 percent off right now. I bought some safaris at the beginning of the summer. They are light. Closer to a mid height hiker . No waterproof liner. But from what I saw during a wet June treated they stayed dry.

I have several pr of Kenetreks and have not seen a model that did not have the waterproof liner (which works very welll, BTW!). They are a great boot but weigh too much for me on most days. In rough country or in snow, I will prolly have Kenetreks on, but not on dry days on the prairie. Last year that was just about all we had, but who knows what this year will bring. I always have the Kenetreks in case they are needed.
