Howdy:
I plan on going hunting for the first time in many a long year. One stipulation from SWMBO is that I have some sort of snakebite protection, as I will be stomping 'round South Texas.
Do any of y'all have any snake-boots, guards, etc. that have worked for y'all or you could recommend?
My first thought is to buy some Redwing linesman boots:

" Heat, Oil, and Slip Resistant Vibram® Outsole
" Electrical Hazard Rated
" Leather Welt Construction
" ASTM approved I/75 C/75
" Electrical Hazard rated
" Steel Toe
" Electrical Hazard
But, Redwing also makes Irish Setter boots & they have snake-particular boots:

(These appeal to me because of their steel shank.)
