$4 a pair and you can add surplus wool liners for about the same when it's really cold.


I have a similar pair but from Cabela's. They make it difficult to grasp and throw decoys. There's no dexterity. I use them mostly for paddling now.

Numb hands make it hard to pick up and handle decoys too. I don't really mind cold hands but it pisses me off when I'm trying to clip them on the carabiner and my hands can't open the clip.

Seems like it's either hot as balls here or below freezing during the season. Don't get too many 50* days.

This was my last 2 hunts of the season. Couldn't get anyone to go with me because it was 0* and blowing and snowing most of the time.

1. Continue progress with the pup.
2. Replace camo netting on the boat blind. The stuff I had to settle for late last season wasn't what I was looking for, but some sort of Swiss army surplus mesh. It fits the blind and looks great, but it's cotton and absorbs water so it gets heavy and I'm afraid it will rot. Want to get some custom cut pieces of this stuff form the local Army/Navy store.
http://www.camonettingstore.com/premium-camo-netting/premium-camo-netting-regular-cut-military-style/woodland-camo-netting-military-style-premium/

Probably ought to work on my shooting some, too.

How much military camo netting are you thinking about using? What size of pieces specifically? I have some laying around I can look and see what I have. Are you going to OWF this weekend?

I think 4 pieces 8x5' would be about right. Yes going to OWF, probably Saturday. Send me your # again, my phone dumped my contacts!

Why do you need "special" gloves to pick up decoys, can't you pick them up by the head.........Think 'Texas Rigged'

Sure you can. Then drop the ice covered bastages back in the water.

A dozen or two isn't a problem...it's the 6 and 7 dozen that get to you.

I don't Texas rig.

I don't care for the excessive rubbing. I prefer to use slotted bags.

I slip sheepskin condoms on my fingers when it's time to pick up decoys. Keeps my fingertips dry and doesn't hinder my dexterity

If it was one I these other guys saying that, I'd almost believe it. I guess I spent enough the freezing my ass on deer stands when I was young to know how to stay dry and warm. You guys are hilarious.

Ok hard asses. Lets start another thread for people who don't hunt in gloves to go jack each others dicks over how manly they are.
This is a season prep thread. Lets return this to topic and beat our chests elsewhere.
Thanks.

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven." Such is the rule of honor.

An Avery migrator. Freebie from a buddy of mine who said he bought it used and couldn't ever get it together right. He's not too bright though so I figured I could do it.
