Waterfowling gloves ?

Have you tried a gore-tex glove? I just picked up this pair and they look promising, especially for the price. I'm thinking of even wearing them for skiing, they seem warmer then my best pair of mittens.

That's a great plan also... Neoprene covered thinsulate does take away from trigger feel a lot
I do the same, though I gave up on neoprene gloves as they rarely last longer then one season before they start to leak. I've since switched to the Cabela's seamless fleece lined gloves and haven't had a leak in 3 years. These gloves are only for picking up decoys/running boat, they would be useless for shooting in.
SAme as one would without gloves.....

Hand muffs are your best friend. Gloves kill the sound of a waterfowl call IMO. Simply get a muff and throw a hot pack in it for really cold days. Then pull your hands out to call when you need to and then back in when your done. Same goes with shooting!
LOL, it was more hypothetical. I hunt into January and never use gloves as I find it kills the calls.
I had two pairs of gloves when I used to hunt ducks and geese.
One pair were thick rubber with felt lining, and they were long enough to reach my elbows. I bought them at a hardware store years ago. I think they were originally made to handle chemicals? I used them only for setting and picking up the decoys later in the season when the temps were too cold for getting your hands wet.
The second pair was just a thin leather glove. Not the best for warmth, but it kept the wind off, and worked fine with handling the shotgun. Actually they were the same gloves I used for rabbits, squirrels, and pheasants.
I bought a pair of those Neoprene gloves made for duck hunting when they first came out on the market, and they work good for handling the decoys in the cold, but I found they made my hands sweat like crazy if I wore them all day.
