Default RE: Dressing deer in the COLD

I don't know what you would call cold weather, but I hunt in Northern Wisconsin in Late November. It can get cold, but usually it's in the 20's or 30's, which I consider balmy up there. For the last number of probably 20 odd years, I just use the long plastic gloves that just about go up to your armpits with a rubber band that secures them around my orange shirt. Once in a while you will poke a hole in one, but not that much blood gets on your hands. If so, 50% of the time, I have snow to wash it off, if not, I always put either paper towels or toilet paper in my back pack.

The deer does warm your hands up also, but then again, I haven't hunted in 0 or below weather for a long, long time.
