Wade's World Hunting: Most turkey hunters wear camouflage gloves while in the woods to keep close-up gobblers from spotting the shine off their bare hands. However, wearing gloves can hamper performing such menial chores as fishing a mouth call out of a pocket, pushing the shotgun’s safety off, squeezing the trigger, etc. These jobs require a sense of feel, and wearing gloves certainly inhibits feel.

Here’s how to solve the problem. When you buy new gloves, take scissors and snip off about an inch of the thumb and forefinger on both hands. This will leave the first joint of the thumbs and forefingers exposed when you put the gloves on, which greatly increases your sense of feel.

While snipping the ends of your gloves’ thumbs and forefingers off may be a little thing, it’s a way to improve your hunting efficiency. A turkey hunter’s goal should be to stack all the odds he can in his favor. Performing the “glove surgery” described above is one way to be just a little more organized, hence competent, in the turkey woods.
