What about gloves while playing your trumpet. Do you wear gloves while running your trumpet? Do you cut the fingers off the gloves? No gloves at all...

Guys check this out ... great information from an older post ... about gloves etc...
Greg, I soak my hands in a mixture of salt brine, dill pickle juice and iodine, this toughens them up to the cold and the iodine also stains them to a nut brown color, so no gloves needed.
I started 3 weeks ago, if you get started you still have plenty of time

Add some horse urine to it and you'll be just like the old boxers. Of course you have to soak your face in it like they did too.

I have only worn a glove on my lead hand for years now (as a right handed shooter - my left hand is out front on the gun). If a turkey is close enough to see my right hand on the trigger - he should already be dead. Now that I have been running a wingbone the past couple of years, I have about decided that this year I may just not even wear the left glove anymore. I honestly feel like I can hear a difference to my ear in sound when I have both gloves on, but it may just be in my head.
I quit wearing gloves for deer some years back (unless too cold to do so), and have yet to busted for doing so. I really think it is 99% about just no movement when he gets close. I see some of this you tube stuff and folks getting away with quite a lot of movement in other states. Yet, in North Georgia the Toms won't tolerate any movement. I try to be a statue and use the diaphram as much as possible when he is in my lap unless I'm calling for someone and can sit behind them and have more freedom to keep running a pot call, trumpet, etc. for soft stuff to finish a bird.

I've had enough horse and donkey residue soaked into my hands over the years that Chanel #5 wouldn't make a dent, thats why I mostly play 1 handed, can't stand the smell of 2 of my hands near my face.

your thinking of EZ, rumor has it he went thru that initiation to be the backup singer for the dixie chicks.
He failed and it burnt the faces of the girls that played fiddle and banjo onto each arm. Which is why he only wears long sleeve org. tree bark camo shirts to this very day

I don't wear them until the long beard is getting considerably closer to me. At that point I want to muffle my calling anyways so the semi muted sound doesn't bother me. But any other time I am gloveless.

Unless its a cold sunrise, this describes my approach to gloves.
I'm taking up donations for some palmless gloves and a NO - face / facemask ... I can't find inodine anywhere ... Crow ..... I couldn't find toilet paper but i did manage to pickup a few red and white corncobs .... paboxcall.... Y'all have given me some good advice over the years ....
I've often considered how camo KT tape would work on the outside of the hands. I hate wearing gloves, even when duck hunting when it's cold. I may try some this year turkey hunting. I normally wear the stretchy gloves with the index finger removed when turkey hunting.

Funniest thread I have read in a long time. I use the carbomask facepaint for my hands. Not greasy and dries after a few minutes out of the truck. Lasts all morning. Re apply in evening.
to bring this thread back to somewhat of a serious nature, I ran Simms Solarflex Sungloves (fingerless/palm less) last season and was really pleased in the small amount of impact they have on the sound from trumpets/yelpers, and also helped not muffle the sound from pot calls also.

Somebody you know picked a glove up with a stick in a WMU parking lot and asked if I wanted it for a spare :TooFunny:
also, it was in the year of the great Covid Darkness
I wear gloves with the thumb, index and middle finger cut off. I haven't had any complaints from gobblers.
All 4 birds taken last year came in to a trumpet. I'll continue to wear a glove.
