RE: Why field dress with rubber gloves?
I've never worn gloves gutting a deer. Maybe I will start. I too get an allergic reaction, but only sometimes. I haven't figured out why sometimes and not others. I will get some hives on my arms, a nose that runs like a faucet and swelled up eyes. Other times I might sneeze once and that's it.
Some things are true whether you believe them or not.
