i use them for easy clean up besides they are cheap. when i am finished gutting all i have to do is take the gloves off and my hands are clean. you dont have to worry bout finding water or snow to try to wipe the blood and fat from your hands or from your fingernails. so to me it was no gimmick just made things a little easier

Along with easier cleanup and protection against possible infection, the surgical gloves give me better control of my knife when the handle gets wet and slickery. There are a lot of good reasons to use them and very few reasons to not use them.
Allergic reaction to latex is the only good reason to not use them andthen they've got poly gloves for those folks who are allergic.
They're cheap and really handy for doing chores around the house too - painting, staining and such. I've always got a box on hand anyway.

I use them so as not to chance given the deer an infection. I do alot of scratching while on stand and am sure my hands are not sanitary. I also sterilize my knife by pouring some of the brandy from my flask on the blade. Just a lil bit though,and gin will work equally well...

I'm with cardeer, I usually strip my shirt off and wipe several coats of blood on my chest, drink a cup or two right off the bat and always follow up a good guttin job with a few bites out of the heart while it's still warm.

Actually, I've been wearing gloves for many years gutting deer. I really don't see the point in smelling like deer guts all day.
