As of today I am starting in Springer on April 6th. I am doing everything possible to eliminate any excess weight whatsoever. I would like to shed a few quick ounces by crossing off the list gloves. Any thoughts on scuttling gloves on a early April start?
Some background....down here in Texas I hardly wear gloves when I am outdoors or hunting unless I am sitting in a deerstand in temps below 40. And that's sitting in the cold not hiking. The older I have gotten the less my hands get cold.
If I was starting in March there would be no questions, but April 6...could I roll the dice and say do something extreme like wear sox on my hands if I stumbled into a temporary early morning situation and by that I mean 25 degrees or so?
Thanks in advance and I am aware even though I am starting in April there will be cold nights and mornings, but in general during daylight time... gloves yes or no?
