They are both pretty close but still have their differences. Hikling boots are made to be light weight, and are very porus to allow air into your feet through the upper mesh. They also have a more curved knobby sole to make walking on loose rock and walking inclines easier to grip the surface.
Hunting boots on the other hand tend to be heavier in weight simply because they are designed to completely insulate the feet against cold or freezing temperatures and provide water resistence at the same time. Hunting boot soles are made from a stiffer sole material that is not as soft and giving as Hiking boots. The Hunting boot sole is much flatter and can be worn and walked in with minimal noise on leaves twigs etc, and as a result are less likley to make noise when stalking animals
