    Not until it's cold enough that I have to. I have a thin pair of mossy oak camo ones I use to wear in the early season but they make it hard to play solitaire on my iPhone. ;-)

    x2, I usually throw a little bit of paint on the outside of my hands early season, and come cold season I wear UA thin gloves, and a muff with hand warmers.

    I dont ever wear gloves regardless of the temperature. Your jacket has pockets and with a set of hand warmers I think my hands stay warmer than any gloves I've ever worn.

    I always wear gloves. Not necessarily for warmth, but to keep them camo. I've seen white hands stick out like a sore thumb before. When it's cold I'll keep a thin glove on my shooting hand and wear a heavier one on my bow hand to keep it warm.

    I wear gloves. I wear a thin camo pair in warmer weather. Then I put a pair of brown jersey gloves over them when it gets cold. I do all day sits during the rut. I need to stay as warm as possible.

    I always do. I have thin one for warm weather to keep the Mosquitos off and thinker ones for cold weather.

    In the late season I wear cammo Under Armor gloves, nothing heavy. Since I use a finger tab rather than a release I keep my finger tab on and keep my hand in my pocket so I don't wear a glove on my right hand unless it's really cold.

    pretty much all season I wear a pair of thin gloves. it helps with bugs during the early season and gives you a better overall camouflage I think.

    The glove does effect shooting a little, but with practice while wearing the gloves, it should help.

    like mentioned above gloves block the usage of your phone.... which probably isn't a bad thing :P

    I always wear some sort of glove. Generally it is a thin liner glove and when it get colder I either add a hand muff or switch to a release strap fleece glove.
