Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Gloves - dang, I need some better gloves!

I bought some very high end skiing mittens and when out in mid teens weather scouting deer on the 4 wheeler it was as though my fingers were just gonna break off with the pain.

Getting older.

Forget the thick gloves and mittens. Buy an Insulated Muff, hang it across your waist, put a heat pad in it and your hands will stay toasty warm. Plus you can yank your hands out in a second and shoot without gloves. Of course you need to be still-hunting. Hard to use them when you're walking and carrying a gun, but for Duck or Deer blind hunting, this is the way to go. I have a camo one for Hunting with Camo and a Blaze orange one for Deer stand hunting. If it gets extremely cold like up here in Northern Wisconsin, just add another heat pad or two.

Glove liners and ski gloves

As was already stated, put a little handwarmer on your wrist veins. That will keep the blood heading into your fingers nice and warm.

Since fingers don't generate their own heat, putting a giant insulated material on it doesn't do much to warm it up.

Warm the blood going in, keep the wind off, and you're done.

plug "Heat Holders" into your search engine. I have their fingerless gloves and they are SUPER warm. About to order their socks, too.

ouch, you got me, ordered a set of the pigskin gloves which i will waterproof.
i have some insulate gloves, the military mitts, and the military wool liners, but i think these will work better inside the mitts. When it snows up around williams and the temp drops, my insulate gloves get wet and are useless. as to the trigger guard, does a garand with the winter trigger guard count?
