I ended up making two pairs of these... My first pair, pictured here, out of Buffalo and the second pair out of Elk.
The Buffalo worked GREAT!!!  no trouble with traction or stretching, even in damp grass, mud, rain...   
The Elk, on the other hand, stretched out a bit just walking in the fresh, dew covered grass. They didn't stretch out
 to where they were un-wearable... but they did stretch.
If you have a choice between Buffalo and Elk...  Choose Buffalo.

my friend makes these for a living just remember that the elk will stretch close to a 1/4 - 1/2 inch they used it on purpose so the leather can form to any size foot properly since all feet are different

Just in case anybody has been trying to download the build-along for these but couldn't because the link was Toast...

It's working again now...  I didn't realize that it was down...  ::)
