I can't manage the safety and trigger with the gloves I wear. So, I keep my left one on, and keep my right hand in my pocket, or the front of a hoodie, with a hand warmer. Sometimes, when I take it out to grab the rifle it feels like it may freeze to it....
I hate gloves and always have, just dont like to wear them at all. I found I can wear fingerless gloves or at least thinner wool ones with exposed index and thumb.
if it gets colder I use a muff with some hand warmers in it. gets me by just fine

Have carried a muff for as long as I can remember. I wear thin gloves and keep my hands in the muff. For years, I also had Hot Hands in the muff, but now use a rechargeable hand warmer (that will also recharge a phone).
I like the muff more because 1) I can wear much thinner gloves which makes shooting easier, and 2) the muff has a front zipper pocket where I store the stuff I will need to use a lot during a hunt.

Some gloves can make it tough. I have a pair of Cabela's fleece hunting gloves that the index finger is drawn tighter. They are plenty warm, and I can take the safety off and shoot without taking my right glove off.

Gloves. Muff is more bulk.
Mitts with the cover that folds back to expose the fingers, I now use the rechargeable hand heaters that are supposed to be good for 20 hours on low, med is to hot until it gets colder . they fit into the mitten part hopefully they will stay in them when I pop my fingers out to shoot.

Muff that looks kinda like a fanny pack. Put a handwarmer in there and my hands never get cold.

My wool gloves also fold back to expose the fingers but I like to hold onto my gun at all time so I use gloves most of time!
I wear the under armor liner gloves. They are thin and fit snug. I've found that keeping the wind off my hands and the fact that they don't sweat with the thin gloves keeps them pretty warm. You can also still work a safety or anything else you need to do. Not sure if they even still make them.

Wool mitts with the cover that folds back to expose the fingers...with hand warmers added if real cold....this fall, being mild, I've just worn some thin wool glove liners that fit tight.
I've bought i don't know how many muffs. But, always end up just wearing thin gloves and keeping my hands in my pockets. Gave away a muff 3 or 4 years ago because I never used it. Then, turned around and bought two more in the last year. Haven't used either one of them. The muffs are just too bulky and something else to carry.

Majority of the time no gloves and hands in my jacket pockets. I had the muff hand warmer and used it for awhile but seemed like my pockets worked just as well so quit taking it.

My hands and feet are cold when it's 80 degrees so I use a hand muff with hand warmers inside of it and a lighter pair of gloves for picking up my gun.

Hate gloves. Wear thin ones have had for years and then I have just a little thicker pair for when it's really cold. But I have a muff around my wist any time its 50 degrees and colder. My hands are about the only thing I struggle keeping warm. Rechargeable hand warmers are always in my bag if needed. Hate thick gloves. Never like the mits that fold just not for me either.
Fingerless merino wool gloves. Hand warmer type pockets when it's real cold.

Use thin runner style gloves with hand warmers mostly but pack a set of wool lined leather mittens if it is really cold.

Currently use gloves. Have a mitt that I haven't used in 3-5 years. Gonna use wool gloves next year with mitt and rechargeable hand warmer if it's ever cold enough.

I wear gloves that you can buy that have finder tips cut out and thumb cut out. The thumb will flip on or off and is magantized and the fingers have a flip up muff type of cover and is magnetic to attach to back hand of the glove. Hard to explain but I've used them for years. Easily flip it up to have your finger tips exposed to make a shot.
I use these in combo with a muff, (and hardwarmers if it gets into the 20s.) Love the muff. Can keep phone, calls, etc in it as well. When done I store my gloves, face mask, cap in it until the next hunt. So the same when turkey hunting.

My daughter just got those gloves this year. She loves them.
I don't like wearing gloves, no matter how cold. If I do, I always feel like they'll be a major hindrance when a deer shows up and I'm fumbling for my weapon.
I just leave my bow or rifle hanging from the tree beside me and keep my hands in my pockets. That's usually plenty. On the coldest of days that I hunt, I might cram some handwarmers in my pockets.

Lightweight gloves and then use the hand warmer muff with a hot hands inside to keep my hands warm. For me, even the thicker gloves just don't keep my fingers warm.
