Guest Xen Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: gloves? when i was younger, i use to just take a 5 gallon jug of water and a change of clothes. when i got back to my car, i just made sure there was nobody around, stripped down and gave myself a shower. since a few close run-ins, i've started using gloves.

pa_sportsman Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Re: gloves? I use the shoulder length field dressing gloves. They almost always tear between the thumb and forefinger, but keep blood off my clothes. I bring water or wipes to clean my hands and knife. I always carry the gloves out afterward.

Guest silver Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Re: gloves? About 25 years ago my Dad field dressed a deer with an open cut on his hand. He caught some kind of "rabbit fever". He spent 2 weeks in the hospital with really high fever. I use gloves about half the time. You think I would learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_lou Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Re: gloves? Don't use, just one more thing I don't need to carry with me. Cleaning a deer is part of the hunt for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ILclimber Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Re: gloves? Most definitely, but I don't concerned with getting bloody though. I usually do anyway. But I like wearing the gloves just as an added protector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerdanmagic Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: gloves? Say what you want, but I ALWAYS wear gloves. Not to keep my hands clean, but as protection from anything the game is carying that I don't want! My hands are always cut up during the season, and I just don't want to be blood brothers with a deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rifleman25 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: gloves? I never wear gloves. I watched a guy us them once and had to go pick his darn bloody gloves up off of my land. That was also the last time I let anyone go in on my ground and retrieve game that was shot someplace else. I found that disrespectful.

Tom2008 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: gloves? I use gloves for any animal that I field dress. Like people have said just take em off and your hands are clean and you don't have to worry about dirting up any of your equipment. I have no source of water around either.

beagleboy Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Re: gloves? I always wear gloves for cleaning deer and small game. If my hands come in contact with animal blood, my hands break out in a bad rash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxStarr Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Re: gloves? I use gloves when I have an outbreak of poison ivy on my hands. It seems I am constantly breaking a blister and the thought of that on my meat makes me go a little green around the gills .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
