For summer hikes and early season hunts I use the Vasque Summit GTX. I like them overall, but have seen reviews online where people have complained about the Vibram sole cracking - this hasn't happened to me and I'm going on my fourth season with them.
For late season hunts I use a Cabelas brand tall boot. I don't recall the exact name but they are 1200 gram insulation. Guaranteed for life too.

Irish Setter Elk Trackers or hanwag hiking boots. Depends of whether you have wide feet or not.

I have Under Armour Speed Freaks. They feel like running shoes with grip and the support that a boot should have. They don't have any insulation to them but in the cooler weather while walking, down to about -10*c, the Redhead socks make the boots very good.

I'll second the under armor speed freaks. I don't do mountain hunting, but I do a lot of walking out in the river coulees and they're awesome!

I wear Scarpa GTX backpacking boots here in the Kootenays. They fit me perfectly and are unbelievably waterproof. Full grain leather backed by goretex with a full rand makes for one tough boot.
