Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game gloves while cleaning game?

I rarley use them while cleaning a deer or turkey. However, when Ms. Piggy hits the ground the gloves are always on. Never heard about anyone getting sick off a hog, just saw my dad do it years ago. Monkey see, monkey do I guess. Regular ole latex gloves work fine. Roll up your sleaves and its on. Remeber to take off your gloves before lighting a smoke. I always forget that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

It's not right to "borrow" from the good doc, even though he's rippin' you a new one.

Yup, the shoulder length poly livestock OB gloves are great at minimizing cleanup, take a lot of abuse and can go over a jacket sleeve.

Thanks for the great tip about turning inside out to package liver and heart. $15 for 100 at vet supply store. Easier packing than a jug of water

I have to use gloves. Yellow dishwashing kind. I am allergic to the deer hair and have a terrible itching reaction to the blood.

I nearly always have them along and nearly always use them. For one thing, I often have to do the work when it's cold and I get the job done better and with less hassle (washing hands with snow loses its quaint, outdoorsy appeal after a while, at least in my experience <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I do know a couple fellows who are less messy than I am, however. I think they could dress a deer while wearing a Tux. (Well, not quite, but CLOSE..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)

I use the extra long dish washing type and wash them up later. Surgical gloves are too thin.

Nope, no gloves. Why? Because if I put gloves on, I can't find my azz with both hands and a map... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

MattO:
For the last 2 years, I used neoprene gloves for taking care of Caribou. They really offer a lot of protection from cuts on my hands, and less slippage than bare-hands. I wish I had tried them sooner.
