Which do you use? For years I went with a headnet or nothing at all but now kinda turning into face paint guy. Just wondering what is most popular. Thanks
 
I used to never hunt without a facemask. Now, I never hunt with one. I am a lot more conscious about stand placement and concealment now. I try not to have to rely on masks or camo clothes to not be seen.
 
I keep some face paint in my pack if I set up and I'm concerned about my skin standing out. I never liked a face mask. It seems to change my anchor point slightly.
 
Used face paint Sunday. Couldn't find my face mask. I prefer the mask mainly because it keeps the mosquitos in check.
 
I use neither, if they notice my face then I have screwed up somewhere else along the line and more than likely wouldn't get a shot off anyway. I have used facepaint but that is when my hunting buddies and I want to act goofy.

Forgot to mention that on the face mask...I dip Grizzly and the face mask definately gets in the way. I forgot one time and went to spit off my stand with my face mask on...didn't work out very well for me lol!
 
hahah thats why you cut a "spit" hole in the mask.

i use the elastic kind that has a cut our for your nostrils and mouth...not a fan of the actual net ones after using it.

dont think they are really needed but sometimes i just feel odd without it on. Also sometimes the only tree you can actually use is somewhat open.
 
face mask . i think it has has really help me / but this year its kind started bugging me and it feels like i cant anchor just right with it on never had this problem before .not sure whats changed but i can see why ppl use paint
 
I was actually just thinking about this. I use a net, the kind with the 2 elastic straps, opening around the eyes, and the bendy thing on the nose. I think it was $2 at walmart. I like that it keeps the bugs down, and makes me feel more secure in those rare occasions where the deer is feeding, and then looks directly up at you. I was curious how many people were using paint because they didnt like anchor points with a net/mask on.

I hate the face covers that are like socks...i feel like they get nasty wet from snot and condensation out of the mouth when it's cold. gross nasty.
 
I use the full head face mask.I use to use the net kind but its not in style any longer so I don't think the deer would respect me if I tried it again. You have to keep up with the times to keep your mojo working.
