Have been wanting to get a good pair of gloves to wear when Im out callin and was curious to what kind everyone else wears? Was wanting to find some that arent big and bulkly so that I can do everything the same as I would with bare hands like pullin a trigger or messing with my calls etc.

Thanks,
Luke
 
i use a pair of redhead turkey hunting gloves. very very thin, and they feel like you dont even have them on! they have little bump grips on them that really work. i got them at bass pro for like 5 bucks.

Wal-Mart has something similar. Thin jersey gloves w/ texture bumps. They are $1.50/pair. Really good thin (and cheap) gloves.

It depends how cold. I've yet to find a really warm, really thin pair. The muff type gloves that fold back to fingerless are pretty nice for shooting. I usually try to slip my glove off for shots if I can.

i wear roping gloves (used by guys who rope calves rodeo etc.) i have them in grey and white i buy them by the dozen for 7 dollars a dozen
 
There are plenty of modern camo gloves in almost any configuration and thickness. I have bought many of them. The ones I use are rag wool. I buy the dark brown ones with dots in the palm so they grip the gun well. Merino wool gloves are thinner.
 
i have a pair of fingerless gloves with the mitten flap that goes over and wear a pair of thin cotton liners. pretty warm unless you get em wet or its really windy...
 
My favorites are the Navy Pilots Flight gloves. You get them from some surplus outlets, 'Cheaper than Dirt' I think has them. They are made to be able to feel & flip switches in the cockpit. When worn alone they are good to about 40 degrees. When it's real cold I wear them inside some 'choppers' & remove the calling hand/shooting hand chopper(both at times) when on the stand.
 
The best thing I've found for hunting in cold weather is thin fleece gloves and a fleece hand muff. I've had the same muff for 10 years. I use the combo while coyote calling or deer hunting. When I'm not using my hands they are stuffed warmly in the muff with the gloves on.

If it's really cold drop a Hot Hands hand warmer in the zippered pouch in the muff. Stays warm all day.
 
For "thin" and "warm" combined, I've had great luck with light brown or light olive green "Glove Inserts" bought at an Army Surplus store. I believe they are synthetic, but they wear and feel like a light wool.

Have had great results wearing those alone, or as a liner as they were intended.

Tight groups,

Here in Montana it gets cold, and these are what I use, and when extremely cold take the Hand Warmer packs and put them inside the mitten fold back to the warmer is on top of my finger tips.
 
I know the question was about gloves, but since you mentioned the cold you get up there in Montana sometimes when ur hunting, I'm curious how much of a difference you get with the accuracy of your rifle (and what caliber do you use) in the cold vs. temps around 60 - 7- degrees? Just askin.
 
I use ragg wool gloves for most of my hunting. When it is real
cold, I pull ragg wool mittens over them. Easy to pull off when it is time to shoot.
 
I've been using winter golfing gloves, they come in pairs. The have nice warm backs and thin palms .

For years, what I wear until the temps get down below freezing, are fingertip-less "Mechanix"-style gloves.
But any similar glove will work in warm temps.
As long as most of your "shiny, pale hand color" is covered, & you can operate calls & weapons efficiently, that's all you need.

For colder days, I use an old pair (had them more than 15 years) of neoprene gloves, similar to gloves worn to place duck decoys on those cold ponds. But these stop just above the wrists & have a velcro tightening strap at that point.
If it's really cold (for Kansas), I'll wear wool ragg type gloves over the neoprenes. If it gets too cold for that combo, it's more than likely too cold for my fat asthmatic body anyways, so I stay home.LOL
