I've got to say it sounds like it might make sense, but if anyone from my hometown ever saw me wearing rubber gloves to gut a deer I would never be able to walk the streets again! Not to mention I have almosta phobia about having gloves on, can't explain it.

To prevent infection should you have an open wound. I don't use surgical gloves, but rather chemical gloves which go up to my forearm and are a bit thicker and more durable.

actualy deer do carry a number of diseases and parisites that can be passed to humans. but i dont use them personaly and have never known anyone to get ill after cleaning a deer . i say to each his own if you wanna use them go ahead.

My grandfather always uses them because he says the blood makes his hands itch like crazy afterwards.

i have used them, but i end up getting blood all over the place anyway[:o], and the glvoes usually tear before im done. Even if the gloves hold, my forearms and sleeves get blood on them anyway.

I just grab a chunk of belly hair with my teeth and RIP it open. No need for gloves or even a knife for that matter.:DReally though I don't use 'em but I believe some people do for fear of infection CWD and all. Luckily for me CWD hasn't been documented in my part of NC. I believe I did read about a case of it in the western part of the state though
