Ravin R10 man Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) ABSOLUTLY...guys have died because of not wearing them...I never used to..but I always have my hands nicked up or cuts from something..great way to get an infection. It feels funny to have them on, but it only takes me about 3 minutes to gut a deer, may as well be protected.

WHISKEYSWAMP Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 If I have them with me I do... usually just wear one on the left hand since it tends to do most of the pulling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Nope. I tried them several years back, slowed by progress down. Same here. It feels like I get a better grip and have a better feel of things with my bare hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 if i have them i do... most of the time i've not used them though. things are pretty slippery with them but it makes it easier to clean up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Im tellin you..you may not live to regret NOT wearing gloves; [h=3]I actually have a family[/h]by Ca_Vermonster - 10/04/2011 - 14:00 I actually have a family friend that almost died a few years ago, and they think it was due to some sort of parasite he got from dressing out a deer he had shot. He had a small nick in his finger, and they think he got blood in it, cleaning without gloves. Well, his kidneys and liver function all but shut down, and they were not sure that they were going to kick back into action. Thankfully, they did, but it was a scare. From then on, I have always carried latex gloves into the field. Maybe that's my jinx though, because I have not shot a deer since then, and never had to use them Very good information for Montana to put out. Hopefully people everywhere, not just there, will take note of these recommendations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully people everywhere, not just there, will take note of these recommendations Dunno Martin, but would assume that gutting a gut shot deer this might be more likely. Kind of curious what kind of parasites can live in the actual blood and be transferred. I typically don't get my fingers or hands when gutting a deer, it is usually when skinning and quartering that I knick my fingers, anyway gloves or not if you knick your finger with a glove on you are gonna still pick up whatever. Think one of the worst cuts I got working on a deer was while wearing gloves. Could see where if you have knicks before getting into the gutting or working on an animal that it would be a good idea to use gloves just in case, better yet would be to use some liquid bandage on those cuts before putting on the gloves.

Stinger-Hunter Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Sometimes. Depends on my state of mind and what I have going on afterwards. For example, am I rushing back home for dinner, have to be at work later, etc. Mostly, if I have gloves, I'll use em - but I usually don't. Doesn't help the gross factor, but I don't like getting a pinch of dippity do with bloody fingers. :-):flex: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hands always have nicks & cuts.and I usually dont cut myself gutting a deer, because I only use a knife that is no longer than my pointer finger extended..any more blade is a waste..(JMO) All Im saying is hunters have died from getting an infection from gutting because they did not use gloves. We use safety harnesses and other items to protect ourselves, but it appears most dont realize the danger of not using gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I wear them when I have them,it makes for easier clean up. I try to keep some in the truck just incase,I like the elbow leingth ones the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I always wear them, and if I'm with someone who is gutting their deer, I ask if they want them. I where the shoulder length ones with rubber gloves over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
