Re: how many people use field dressing gloves?

I'm one of those kids that probably ate lead paint, rode in the back of a truck, didn't wear seat belts, etc, etc..........................and no I don't wear gloves. Been fine for over 41 years! grin.gif

Re: how many people use field dressing gloves?

try nitrile, you'll never wear latex again. I like them because it keeps my hands dry, and they don't get cold and numb that way. Hate to handle a knife with numb hands.

I also carry a few garbage bag twist ties to tie off the anus and urethra so there's no spilling, and to attach my temporary tag. I put the gloves and ties in a bread sack to use for garbage or heart/liver transport. Rolled up it takes up the room in my fanny pack I would use for a celebratory cigar if I could bring myself to tolerate them.

why would you use gloves?? you wouldn't really get to lick your fingers off when you're done. i'd like to point out that kfc totally ripped off the "finger lickin' good" phrase from a deer hunter

I have for about the last four years... by nature of my profession it's rather important... so a pair of shoulder length ai gloves and a pair of surgical gloves over them! Nice tight fit and you still have full function of your hands....

I use my barehands. I dont mind the cold days either. After I kill a deer in the cold the temperature feels like it goes up 80 degrees.

I use Hunter's Specialities field dressing gloves when I gut my dear. They really help and make it easy.

Me too. Shoulder length with a pair of latex. I still take my jacket off, but it helps keep blood off whatever I'm wearing underneath it.
