For about $1 you can can get gloves and arm gauntlets that will protect you up to your armpits from getting any blood on yourself. I buy them at sporting good stores or Wal-Mart in 6/8 packs for the season. I was not impressed when I first saw them in use thinking whats wrong with a little blood on your hands. Try them. You will always have a couple in your pack. I even give them to the guides when on a guided hunt. They love 'em.
