[QUOTE="Revolting Peasant, post: 1969726, member: 101383"] My opinion from my area. Piece of rope. Leather fence gloves preferably with double layer palms. I take it off my shooting hand to fire. Like he said above, our deer and hogs sometimes have the lower legs filled with thorns and cactus spines. Moving the carcass can be a “issue”. Grabbing a leg can fill your hand with needles. The thorns will go through leather but it stops the little ones and you get some warning. Rope is for a drag loop and gets your hands off the stickers. I am very careful about prone, had an issue or two with sitting position that was educational and auto correct. Our cactus isn’t that thick and you quickly learn to watch for and avoid it. Make sure you have a good light in case you have to do anything in the field after dark. In our area, thin or cloth gloves aren’t much use for stickers. Fine hair cactus spines go right through them. It isn’t as bad as it all sounds. Just have keep your eyes open. I am allergic to rattlesnakes. Diarrhea and chills. [/QUOTE]
