Like others, never used to, but now always do. A compartment on my pack has a pen, small zip ties, exam gloves (the blue ones, not individually packaged surgical gloves), a very small T handle Gerber sternum saw............I think that's it.

started using the latex gloves to clean hogs probably 10 years ago. now I pick up the packs that have latex glove and the plastic sleeves that go up to your shoulder. One of the guys on the lease always laughs at me, but when i'm done, i' just pull them off and there's little to no clean up

Yes, they may have some merit, sort of like wearing snake boots has some merit.

I personally appreciate how much easier clean-up is for me if I have used gloves. Preventing infections from a host of diseases is also a huge bonus.

Yes, I do use gloves to gut and clean an animal.

Never have, probably should...

Been using gloves for many years, work real nice when in the Rockies to stay clean (er). Have found they also make a strong fire starter if you find yourself with an animal down and a blizzard shows up.

Warm guts on cold hands is a great ending to a successful hunt!

Not saying there is no benefit to it, but I don't wear gloves. Probably should. Ive never like wearing gloves, even for working etc.

never used them for probably the first 40+ years of hunting and hundreds of deer, hogs, goats, barbado, etc. Was guiding with my BIL in the panhandle several years back when one of our hunters took a nice buck and I started in to cleaning it when my BIL stopped me and handed me some latex gloves. I was like and he said just use them ... I thought it odd but okay and put them on. Man did it make for a much easier clean up when I was done and didn't have the stent of rutting buck on my hands...

Home Depot is where I finally found XL size black latex gloves, I use for all kinds of things like cooking, meal prep, catering, cleaning game, etc.

I always use the black nitrile gloves. Easy clean up and disease prevention. I also carry plastic bags and place the quarters and backstraps in separate bags as I place them on ice.

I work in a NICU and wash my hands probably 50+ times a day depending on the census....needless to say I have sensitive hands that beat up easily so I always wear gloves

I grew up with the old school ways, and you would have gotten some strange looks if you were seen wearing gloves back in the day.
I wear them now when I have them, but I won't think twice going bare hands if I have to.

Sure coulda used some last night!

Yes if I have them.

I use them all the time no issues. Men wear gloves now a days.

MAN-GLOVES
....

edit : me other post done gone missing...

They still poisoning the hogs ?
Only poison i used (hogs) twas well placed lead, poison ...

Absolutely! Not a lot of water available out in the South Texas brush.

Harbor Freight, the black ones in XL. They are 12 bucks for a hundred gloves less 20 percent with the magic coupon. They work great for cleaning animals, working on cars, cleaning the chicken coop, etc... I always have a box around.

These are excellent, especially the 9 mil thickness black ones.

Just my .02,

Sure. Makes cleanup easier.

Keep a box of thick nitrile gloves that have some wrist length to them from Harbor Freight from get meat in the cooler.

Never have but hell not against it however back in the day folks woulda thunk you are wierd

I use the blue nitrile gloves from Harbor Freight. I keep some in my hunting day pack, and also in the truck. I then use hand wipes.

Same here, except for Thunder Chickens. [censored] those animals. Spent a few days being so sick I wish I would’ve died. Cleaned a turkey, washed my hands well, was sick as hell the next few days. Makes having the flu seem fun.

nurse gloves

Always do now. In college I contracted a bacterial infection cleaning doves- don’t want that again.
