Turkey gloves

I have 3 pair. My favorite is a cheap cotton pair of hs strut just camo gloves with none of that gripping crap on them. I can't stand any gloves with that. The hs struts are prolly 20 years old. When it's hot I have the manzella Andy was talking about. They are just a little slick but not terrible. Then I have a pair of Remington fleece gloves when it's a little cold. I wish I could find some more of them.

And for the guys that don't wear gloves that's the first thing I ever spot on a person in the woods. White hands moving.

These are what I use.
And with these, you'll not need to cut the fingers out (something I used to do until I discovered these).

These are very thin & "stretchy" with rubber grip dots. They don't slip, and are about as close as you'll get to feeling like you're wearing no gloves at all.

Camoskinz II

These are not as inexpensive as what Steve posted, but they're periodically on sale, and I don't think I've ever paid more than $6.99 or so for a pair. Provided you don't lose them, they'll last for many seasons.

They also have these in youth sizes, which has been something hard to find in a "quality" turkey-hunting glove. I know a lady turkey hunter who needs these just slightly smaller than a Men's small, and found out the Youth large was just the ticket, being slightly smaller than a Men's small.

I think their on sale now but I was trying to find something cheaper like Steve suggested cause I've already broke the bank and the season hasn't even started yet. That's a good thing to know about the youth sizes tho. It's getting harder and harder to find youth stuff outside of the regular clothing. Only two manufacturers make youth vests redhead and cabelas and. I knew the redhead was crap so I ordered the cabelas last night.

Usually to late for them by then [emoji2] . I don't care if you're in a ghillie suit if your moving he's going to catch it. Great eyesight but movement is what gets people busted. That and bad setups

So true.

Just an issue turkeys MAY miss that movement (especially from a greater distance) when there is less contrast between what's moving and what's not, i.e. wearing camo gloves as opposed to having relatively white hands (and fingers). Also, the "footprint" of what's moving is also a factor, such as wearing a shorter-billed cap (or bill-less headwear) vs. a typical long-billed cap.

Speaking of the value of non-movement, I've so many times been wearing an orange cap & vest (sitting totally in the "open") and had adult turkeys feed within feet of me or my tree, unconcerned, but obviously they saw the orange cap & vest. But just rotate your head, they see that movement, and they're out of there. Movement that you can get away with deer, you won't with turkeys.
 
Primos stretchy gloves, I like how thin they are and the long cuff on them. I feel naked without gloves on while turkey hunting.
 
The Cabela's camoskinz are the closest fitting I have found. I like the H.S. Strut but where I have smaller hands the fingers are about an inch and half to long. I usually cut the thumb and first two fingers out. I may try some of the ones SCN posted. I would like to find some that weren't too big and being able to text is a must. At least if wearing them in deer season.

Man I'm not trying to argue but I disagree respectfully lol. I have seen people move their bare hands 250 yards away. I know I can see it a turkey can. That's just my opinion.
