[QUOTE=Dave Fuller;4546]Next to my dog and a couple of shotguns, my favorite hunting gear would have to be my Russell boots. Just put a fresh coat of bacon grease on my Bird Shooters in preparation for my Grouse trip.[/
I'll second that Dave. I've had a pair of 11D Russell Birdshooters for 25 years, still wear them-I'm a tad fussy about three things re: outdoors and hunting/shooting- proper gun cleaning and care, quality ammo (handloads included) and quality foot wear- My favorite dress shoes are Johnson and Murphy and Bass, and my favorite huting boots are W.C. Russell and Red Wing, and I don't skimp on the sox, liners and foot powder.
I'd use bacon grease but my first choice is Sno-Seal, as my Lab "Khartoum" loves BLT's and those Russell's are not his, they are mine.
