I realize that I like shooting outdoors in the fall/winter as opposed to at an inside range. Any suggestions for outdoor shooting gloves?

I took an old pair of the brown jersey gloves that had worn out at the index and thumb of my strong hand and cut the finger and thumb off the glove. Good enough for me.
But these are the gloves I prefer for most outdoor activities - heavier gloves and my hands sweat and get cold inside the gloves anyway.

Got just a good pair of "mechanix gloves". the basic ones, not the heavy , padded ones.

Mechanix gloves look decent, but there are soooo many different versions now. I'll was thinking maybe ones with finger tips missing to stay in the trigger guard.

I like those.
Sounds good in theory. But it's hard to shoot in winter for any length of time if your fingertips are numb.

Yea maybe a full fingered glove is the way to go

I agree but it takes training to get used to it. It does make it a little difficult to feel the trigger sometimes. if it is too bad for anyone, cut the tip off the trigger finger on the glove.

I use these hand warmers and the foot warmers both while hunting. Haven't noticed the deer smelling them. Take a zip lock bag with you and when the air temp gets warm enough put the hand warmers in the bag, squeeze out the air, and you will be able to use them again later.

Deer can smell my truck and have no problem running right out in front of it.
I have moderately poor circulation in my extremities and am pretty sensitive to temperature, I can tell you that ANY glove makes at least some difference. Compared to going bare handed, black or blue nitrile gloves work pretty well for me. XL nitrile gloves can also be helpful as an additional layer over another thin mechanic's glove.
As to the feel of the gun thru gloves, it varies for me depending on the gun. Some just don't feel right with any glove and other guns I am fine with shooting with a mechanic's glove or nitrile gloves.
It took me a while to realize most cheap mechanic's gloves are made of paper. You can tell as the paper wears and flakes off. I have occasionally extended the life and toughened some paper mechanic's gloves by using super glue when they started to flake.

Under armour infrared gloves. Check these out, there what I want this year https://www.underarmour.com/en-us/ua-extreme-coldgear/pid1249429-001
I have another pair of Under Armour gloves that I still use, they are just getting worn out after 5 full winters.
I will retire those to my shooters bag because they feel awesome to shoot in.
