By the way, what boots did you wear as you were doing a lot of miles in the heat which is normally a good recipe for sore feet and blisters if one isn't careful.
Great hunt and good on you.

I had two pairs along..had a pair of custom Russels PH's..but only wore them one day..the terrain is so rough it really killed my feet..after that I wore my Asolo Fugitive Gore-Tex Hiking Boots...
I wore a thin wicking liner and then a lightweight wool hiking sock (smartwool) over them..never did get any blisters...also my feet are also pretty callused from hiking and jiu-jitsu so I think that helps as well...
Actually the most difficult part was just getting and keeping in enough water...it was about a 120 degree difference in temps from my home to where we were hunting..big change..
The good thing was the elevation was relatively low compared to my home so hiking was fairly easy...
