re: I need some new boots (for hawking)

Kangaroo leather is pretty tough. I know some guys who wear them and say they are comfortable. Not cheap.

But if you are fighting the briars, I'g get a pair of comfortable snake boots. Kinda solves two problems, and then you can sic the bird on the snake.

There's a couple of enormous eurasian doves here that are either living a charmed life or are too big for that Sharp shin to take on. They're almost big as he is.

We've killed a lot of rabbits this year with a Harris Hawk and a Red Tail Hawk

I had the brown ones. Great for summertime. Good ventilation.

I use kangaroo leather for most of my bird's gear. It is tough stuff. It's $100+ for a small hide though.

combat boots

The only thing I don't like about combat boots is that they have grooves for traction on the soles. Great if you need it, but if you don't then it makes them tough to clean when mud, dog shite, manure etc gets in those grooves.
