I use the real soft deerskin roper gloves you can buy at the hardware store,the key IMO is to but them a size small and they conform perfectly to your hand's

I alernate pairs of the Orvis gloves ( when wet through they take a day to dry) one of the pairs I am using is over ten years old, the other five or more, they are durable.

Russ, I always end up finding my gloves at a golf pro shop. They have summer and winter versions.

SxS Shooting Gloves
Over many years I've tried many different brands of gloves; Orvis included. I discovered the absolute best shooting glove when attending SHOT Show a few years back. The brand is GripSwell and comes in several options. The one I like is the SxS Palm Combo. They are of American manufacture; extremely well made and the left hand glove in my case since I'm a right handed shooter, is leather lined so when faced with continuous shooting the heat from the barrels isn't felt. They make them in all sizes and offer two or three different colors. They seem to last for years and provide good warmth even during the coldest weather. I've gotten many fellow shooters using them now and they too, like them a lot. Take a look by checking their web site at info@gripswell.com and see what you think. I'm sure you'll be pleased.

Russ, Bella and I did hunt today. We walked from 8:00 am until 4:00 pm. We only moved one grouse,twice. I hunted an area I new is pretty well gone, but I tried to stay down off the ridge top. Did you give it go?

Dave ,Chip and I went out about Noon ,I had hoped for the wind to settle but it did not until around six o'clock this evening ,we hunted until around three o'clock we moved one Woodcock ,Chip got Birdy twice but we moved only the one Woodcock ,I got myself between Chip and the Woodcock ,and the Bird flushed behind me staying low till it hit the open then gained altitude and rode the wind right out of there ! A beautiful Fall day though except for the wind !
