just be more careful I guess.I don't like gloves either, seems like they are in the way except for when its cold.But they are good to wear if you can stand them!I never really hunted parks and beaches and stuff like that, but I could imagine there is probably some pretty nasty stuff that could get ya out there.I have had tin get me before but my biggest problem not wearing glove's is sometimes that little place right behind my fingernails can get a little raw from allot of digging.Maybe look into some different kinds of gloves that are available?I think someone said something about electricians gloves that work well but I can't really remember.gl
