Yup... hell, I look like a doctor going into surgery when I'm field dressing a kill - sleeves/butchers apron and all lol. But when I'm done there is virtually no self cleanup necessary. I tend to find that there are two types of people who don't wear gloves when field dressing or butchering:
1) stubborn people - those who didn't use gloves when they first learned to do it and now just refuse to use gloves for no good reason. You know the "this is just how us old school people do it" people. Maybe they just like to be reminded of "better times" and this does it for them. Or maybe they're the "real men don't wear gloves" type...whatever their reason - they're just stubborn and won't change.
2) disturbed people - the ones that actually enjoy bathing in the blood of animals. Enough said LOL
Everyone else pretty much wears gloves :P

Hogs are especially filthy and I won't touch a hog without gloves. I've seen enough working around and handling them most of my life.
Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

I have really bad eczema on my left hand and really don't want foreign matter entering through the cuts and breaks of my skin. Gloves for me.

I use the yellow rubber dishwashing gloves from the grocery store. $2 for a pack of two. They have thicker rubber than exam/medical gloves and texture on the fingers which helps maintain grip on the knife. Also they have cuffs which come up high.
I started wearing gloves because of blood borne diseases from hogs, but now like them for comfort and ease of cleanup.

I use gloves for all game. You need them specially for rabbits. Just one less thing to clean up. I believe you can get trichinosis from hogs if not careful.

anyone do this? I put a few pair of black latex gloves in my pack a few days ago. Not having ready access to water in a lot of places has made me re-think using gloves to clean game, which I used to think was sissy but now may have some merit.
I prefer not to when skinning but even though we have water it is not always hot so clean up can be an issue. I buy them at Harbor Freight. They are cheap and durable, Medium weights are fine for cleaning animals. I also keep the heavyweights at the house and reuse until they tear. Heavyweights don't stretch so you have to buy one size larger.

I don’t use them but to each their own.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

I had to start using them back in 1991 when I was cleaning a lot of deer on a ranch I was managing. The blood would dry out my skin and my hands would crack badly. IN late winter my hands would not heal up in the drier air. My hands also stayed bloodstained continuously with those deep cracks and dry hands. We kept the gloves in the in the 1000 count cases and bought multiple sizes of small, medium and larges. We bought the ones that were used in hospital and they were a bit thicker. When I hunted in Alberta in 2006 my guide used the long palpation rubber gloves that went up to his shoulder and then put on heavier rubber gloves on top. But in his defense it was 8 degrees that morning and he did not want to get blood all over him to gut my mule deer. I know keep a box of 100 in my deer cleaning back to gut deer, hogs or clean a turkey it seems. No need for water if using the gloves. I buy mine at Walmart in the pharmacy.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

I always use gloves these days. My hands are always beat up, so I try to keep blood from game off them. Same here...especially pigs...

I need to wear more gloves, more often. As some have stated above, my fingers split badly, recently, all year long. Maybe it was helping Dad with old cars and washing my hands in gasoline when I was a kid. I knew a gentleman that worked on tractors for a living. He had to sleep with dishwashing gloves on, after coating them with Vaseline, every night. I'm not far from that. Home Depot's grouting gloves (orange) are pretty good, but the Chinese vary the actual sizes of XL on a regular basis. When I wash dishes, which isn't often enough , I wear them. You can't do much of anything when there's open, exposed nerves on the ends of your fingers. Some musicians have hell with this condition. While cleaning an animal, it depends on the conditions and what I have with me. Definitely with pigs, but, after my recent flea fiasco, I think I'm through getting even close to them. Thank goodness there were no close neighbors to observe me disrobing completely and delousing myself.

Thank goodness there were no close neighbors to observe me disrobing completely and delousing myself. Oh, I got to hear this story - what's the flea fiasco and how are pigs involved? Nothing vulgar, I assure you. Just trapped 3 pigs, had to duck-walk into the trap to pull them out (I'm done with small, close-topped traps...by the by), and while I was hauling them off to dump them, thinking I'd really made a dent in the population, I see a huge sounder, all black. I get out of the UTV and make a "hail Mary" shot, 'heard a "Whap!", but, since I started to feel little critters bounce around on my neck, I decided not to take the time to follow up the shot. Dump pigs, haul-arse back the to the house, get into my birthday suit on the back porch (and tie the clothes, tightly, in a garbage bag and leave on said porch) and hot-foot it into the shower with the hottest water I can stand. And, call the wife on my way back home to have her pickup some delousing shampoo. (I Googled it. ) Another hot shower and, there's now a 2nd bottle of lice shampoo at the ranch. The excrement I get into. This...after getting tick fever from my first trip out to this new ranch a little while ago. The War on Parasite Bugs is ON Baby!!! (You should see what I do to my navel with Repel. )

We keep them handy at the cleaning station, the wife picks them up at a medical supply. The problem is getting them in big sizes, doctors must have small hands. I do not use them as I should, but it is cheap insurance. You obviously have not had your prostate examined by my doctor.....I asked him last time if he left his super bowl ring on.....🥴
