Turkey gloves

[Poleaxe]

Who all wears em and what brand? I can't really use my pots good with the cheap loose camo gloves but then again my fingers slip along the striker with the tight ones. Thought about just using camo paint on the back side of my hands if I can't find something better.

I just cut the fingers out of mine around my knuckles. Works good for me that way

I normally only wear one on my left had if at all. I'm not a glove fan personality though

I have a pair of standard primos camo gloves that, by some miracle, I have kept up with for several years. I have the three inside fingers cut out. I like them a lot.

I don't like em either and mostly just wear them because of controlling the camera next to me. If I didn't film I would rarely wear gloves or a face mask.

I love gloves and a face mask it makes me feel like a ninja!! Lol

Seriously I wear a net face mask but it's mainly for the bugs and I wear the gloves mainly for poison ivy. I think mine are the primos stretch fit ones

I don't wear gloves or a face mask unless it's cold.

I am right handed and shoot right handed, and typically wear a glove on my left hand, with all five fingers cut out. Currently I use a very thin glove made my Manzella, very similar to a thin batting glove. It is by far my favorite glove that I have ever used. Good luck with your choice.

I wear the ones from walmart that allow you to text while wearing them..they fit pretty tight and have that rubbery stuff on them to grip with....$10pr

 

[Boll Weevil]

I've got an old ratty pair that have been sewn up so many times it's ridiculous. They're light and worn thin but keep the skeeters from tearing up my hands.

I still can't find the perfect glove for me...trying to hit a golf ball sized moving target with an arrow is tough! I find that gloves make it difficult for me to "feel" the bow and release and therefore keep me from consistently repeating a good shot...I wish there was a one sided glove to cover only the back of the hand

I wear cotton jersey gloves with the thumb and index finger half way cut out. That's so I can text and dip Copenhagen

Ditto, except I only cut the thumb and pointer finger at the knuckle of my right hand for gripping the striker.

Scn gave me a pair last year that are some sort of Japanese fishing gloves that are the best I've ever worn.

Thanks, Jim. Glad you enjoyed them.

Here are the gloves I wear for turkey hunting: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Pair-3-Cut-Fi ... 1177590754

There are several vendors on ebay selling the same type of glove.

I've tried a bunch over the years, and with the cut out fingers and the non-slip grip, these have been the best for me. Plus, they are cheap.

But, they come on a slow boat from China, so they might not make it by opening day.

Thanks for the link Steve!

Thank you they're awesome. Comfortable, fit well, and aren't hot.

I bought a pair of tight fitting leather palmed with camo back gloves that had a Turkey track on them from wal mart probably 15+ years ago. They are my go to gloves and I panic if I misplace one

 

[scn]

Thanks for the link Steve!

You are more than welcome. You may want to look at some of the other vendors selling those type gloves as well. I didn't check the feedback rating for that vendor before I linked, but when I checked the link after posting I saw it wasn't great.

I buy 2-3 pairs at a time as they have a way of coming up missing from falling out of pockets, etc. But, at the price they sell them for, they are a pretty good bargain.

These are what I use.
And with these, you'll not need to cut the fingers out (something I used to do until I discovered these).

These are very thin & "stretchy" with rubber grip dots. They don't slip, and are about as close as you'll get to feeling like you're wearing no gloves at all.

Camoskinz II

These are not as inexpensive as what Steve posted, but they're periodically on sale, and I don't think I've ever paid more than $6.99 or so for a pair. Provided you don't lose them, they'll last for many seasons.

They also have these in youth sizes, which has been something hard to find in a "quality" turkey-hunting glove. I know a lady turkey hunter who needs these just slightly smaller than a Men's small, and found out the Youth large was just the ticket, being slightly smaller than a Men's small.

I have 3 pair. My favorite is a cheap cotton pair of hs strut just camo gloves with none of that gripping crap on them. I can't stand any gloves with that. The hs struts are prolly 20 years old. When it's hot I have the manzella Andy was talking about. They are just a little slick but not terrible. Then I have a pair of Remington fleece gloves when it's a little cold. I wish I could find some more of them.

And for the guys that don't wear gloves that's the first thing I ever spot on a person in the woods. White hands moving.

I think their on sale now but I was trying to find something cheaper like Steve suggested cause I've already broke the bank and the season hasn't even started yet. That's a good thing to know about the youth sizes tho. It's getting harder and harder to find youth stuff outside of the regular clothing. Only two manufacturers make youth vests redhead and cabelas and. I knew the redhead was crap so I ordered the cabelas last night.

They're slightly discounted right now, but seems I fairly often see them on sale for much less than this.

Usually to late for them by then [emoji2] . I don't care if you're in a ghillie suit if your moving he's going to catch it. Great eyesight but movement is what gets people busted. That and bad setups

 

[Tennessee Lead]

Hey I like the look of those SCN! I'm going to order a pair.

. . . . movement is what gets people busted.

So true.

Just an issue turkeys MAY miss that movement (especially from a greater distance) when there is less contrast between what's moving and what's not, i.e. wearing camo gloves as opposed to having relatively white hands (and fingers). Also, the "footprint" of what's moving is also a factor, such as wearing a shorter-billed cap (or bill-less headwear) vs. a typical long-billed cap.

Speaking of the value of non-movement, I've so many times been wearing an orange cap & vest (sitting totally in the "open") and had adult turkeys feed within feet of me or my tree, unconcerned, but obviously they saw the orange cap & vest. But just rotate your head, they see that movement, and they're out of there. Movement that you can get away with deer, you won't with turkeys.

Primos stretchy gloves, I like how thin they are and the long cuff on them. I feel naked without gloves on while turkey hunting.

 

[TheAirMan]

The Cabela's camoskinz are the closest fitting I have found. I like the H.S. Strut but where I have smaller hands the fingers are about an inch and half to long. I usually cut the thumb and first two fingers out. I may try some of the ones SCN posted. I would like to find some that weren't too big and being able to text is a must. At least if wearing them in deer season.

Man I'm not trying to argue but I disagree respectfully lol. I have seen people move their bare hands 250 yards away. I know I can see it a turkey can. That's just my opinion.
