I'd seriously consider wearing gloves when handling deer and especially when handling wild swine or bears.

There's often some serious stuff in critter blood -Monty Moravec told me just before his death he had contracted a fatal organism from a bear he dressed out.

I will be focusing on getting my first bear this year, so thanks for the heads up on them as well.

A person rarely gives it much thought until they hear horror stories or have bad experiences themselves.

Thanks guys.

Gloves are good for field dressing just about anything of any size, in part to make cleaning yourself up easier and in part to make sure you don't do anything really foolish like try to wipe sweat off your face with a bloody arm.

Killdeer - glad somebody likes scrapple, I think.  Ever since I came to Pennsylvania people have told me how great it was.  Personally, after trying it enough to make sure that the first one wasn't an abberation, I'd rather eat a chicken fried Brillo pad.

next thing to happen is we will have to wear gloves at the 3d range,

I always wear rubber gloves on ANY animal.  Talked to a vet and he said you are a fool not to wear gloves.  He mentioned Leptospirocis as another really bad blood problem with wild game.  Bowhunter Mag. several years ago had an article about a guy that got this.  He nearly died before they figured it out.  His doctor was a hunter and finally asked the right questions - You been hunting wild game?  It saved his life.  Rubber gloves is cheap insurance!!!!!!!!!!!!
