| Stink Gloves By Troy Fowler Feral hogs, and many of the critters we pursue, lack personal hygiene. If you've ever cleaned a recently dispatched piggie poo you know the stink stays on your hands for a long time. Hamburgers, or anything you eat with your hands, will bring on that gag reflex, even hours later. Soap cuts the stink approximately 47% in my testing. Give it a week or so for the smell to finally go away.
I prefer a pair of heavy rubber gloves, like electrician's gloves, available at the nearest home improvement store. They are pre-shaped, offered in different hand sizes, and they reach almost to your elbow. A snug fit is best. I don't suggest kitchen gloves. I "borrowed" the loose fitting, yellow gloves to clean a random ungulate one afternoon. It was cause for marital discussions. Yeah, you can buy a jillion disposable gloves, or get some from the nurse down the street, but be careful around broken bones and that knife you're holding. Before long your fingers will be exposed one by one. Double glove it and they tear twice. I realize that meticulous personalities do exist and there are people who actually pay attention and take their time, so the cheap gloves work perfectly. They just don't do it for me. The next time your arrow flies true on a hog, or you really want a skunk skin cap, don the electrician's gloves. Personal hygiene is appreciated.
