Text messaging and hunting ... Luke Hartle brought it up in a blog post last November, and it's quite the hot topic. Since then, we've seen some hunting gear innovations—such as the Textpac—for hunters who can't stop scratching the texting itch in the field. 

If you're a texting/hunting machine, you know touch screens have no tolerance for gloves, and it's a pain to have to continually take your gloves on and off. Well, thanks to Rocky Outdoor Gear, that's no longer a problem.

New for 2012, Rocky is introducing text-friendly hunting gloves. The fingers are made of a conductive material that works like a charm. I tried the gloves on at SHOT Show, tested them with my smartphone, and they're the real deal.
