Marshal pretty much summed up what needs to be said. Outdoor recreation is about trail and error. Working in the outdoor industry, Americans in general, tend to be gadget and answer oriented. The best boots are the ones that fit, not the one with the best reputation or the one that has the best marketing. On average it takes me at least three months of trying on and driving around to find a pair that will work for my feet. Before I climbed Denali, it took me six months to find the right plastic boots that fit and felt comfortable.
As far as reputable brands go there are several I can name off. Keep in mind that some companies fit better for high-volume and some low-volume feet. Everyone is different. Take a look at La Sportiva, Garmont, Vasque, Montrail, Boreal, Lowa, Zamberlan and Danner. Cabella's also has a wide range of hunting specific boots. All of the listed companies have an assortment of footwear that can fit your purposes. My favorite is La Sportiva's Makalu, but, thats my feet. Remember, just because it doesn't say "Hunting Boot" does not mean it can't be used for it.
One last advice. For fitting, put the boot on with the socks you plan on using. Don't lace them up, get your toes all the way up front until your toes are touching the end. There should be ONE finger width distance from your heel to the rear of the boot, measuring from the inside. Second lace them up, walk around. Walk down a step incline, 30-45 degrees. YOUR TOES SHOULD NOT SLIDE FOWARD AND TOUCH THE END. If they do, change socks (Smartwool recomended), change footbeds (Superfeet highly recomended), or change sizes. All else fails, change boots.
