Danner has announced a new set of hunting boots slated to hit shelves in Fall 2020, called the Recurve. These draw their style from traditional hunting boots, while applying the technological and design cues Danner has developed over years of creating high-quality hiking footwear. The boots feature a Vibram SPE midsole with Megagrip lugs and flex lines, an open-cell orthalite footbed and a TPU heel clip, all intended to promote grip and comfort on preseason scouts and extended treks. Ankle support is provided inherently through the boots' seven inches of height, while waterproofing is available with the addition of Danner Dry. Despite their 400-gms. of Thinsulate Ultra insulation for cold-weather comfort, the Recurves also boast breathable mesh lining to keep feet dry on warmer days. A nylon shank replaces the traditional steel, to keep boots lighter and help guard against freezing soles. For more information on Recurve boots, which currently come in Brown, Olive and Mossy Oak Bottomland, please visit danner.com. MSRP: $190-220

A dogger’s goal while pushing deer is to drive the prey into a pocket formed by others in his gang, those hunters who are posted about a hundred yards apart along strategic locations up to a half-mile away from the dogger’s starting point. When everyone is in position, the dogger weaves his way through the woods into the wind and pocket formed by the other hunters. The approaching sound of the dogger snapping twigs and crunching leaves alerts unsuspecting deer.
