JCTheGC Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Just curious, Camo Facemasks? Do you wear them or cover your face at all? I don't but after having a deer stare me down last season I think it might be time for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Yup, usually over a boonie hat or something like that. Otherwise the bugs try to have lunch and make a hotel out of your eyes ears and nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I have never gotten into the habit of wearing a facemask but know that I should . The deer will notice the glare on your face if it's not covered with camo paint or a facemask ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno C Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 i always do. i have one for bow season, its a built in cape in my hat, nice and light and i also have one for gun season when its colder. but i usually wear my lighter one as much as possible in both season because i have no problem hearing with the light one. The heavier one is alittle more difficult to hear faint sounds like deer walking on leaves and what not. but i always wear one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooly Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Don't like them for archery. Disturbs my anchor point feel. I also don't wear a glove on my release hand for the same reason. Have probably been picked off by deer just as much with a mask as without one so I see no benefit in them. Once I pick up the smokepole, temps plummet, and the snow starts flying- Polar fleece hood all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I'm not really too much into Turkey Hunting but I once hunted with a guy that smokes . He had a small hole in part of his facemask to put the cigarette through . It really cracked me up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vipertech Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I do use one most of the time when bow hunting. But I've taken deer plenty of times while not wearing one. I really don't think it makes that big of a difference. When gun hunting, I usually do not wear one. By that time, it's usually colder and I'll opt for a cold weather mask.

RTF Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Pretty much for turkey and bow, even when in the game blind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I just though of something. I've got most of my face covered up with a beard all the time anyway. I just might have to go to a face mask. The beard is getting pretty darn white now. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erussell Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I have a camo skinz face mask that I have used for yrs. It's skin tight and I cut holes in the side for my ears to stick out, and made the slit for your eye's a little bigger so I can uncover my nose easier. It's tight enough also where I can feel my kisser button in the side of my mouth and it doesn't interfere with my shooting. It's worth the money and there cheap, check them out here. They make them 1/2, 3/4 and full mask http://www.cabelas.com/link-12/product/0027083942489a.shtml?cmCat=perf&rid=0987654321&cm_mmc=Performics-_-CSE-_-GoogleBaseUSA-_-0027083942489a&mr:trackingCode=E8185DCC-958E-DF11-A0C8-002219318F67&mr:referralID=NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SplitG2 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 most of the time and sometimes face paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMcD Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 In the early bow season I use face paint, in the later colder part of the late season I use a face mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culvercreek hunt club Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I have two I use...both skin tight. a meshed one for early season and bow and a camo full head from underarmor.....love the underarmor one. the flap covering your nose and chin is sewn on seperately and pulls down very easily with out stretching the rest of the mask for things like drinking and call use.

sweet old bill Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I have a 1/2 mask and I also like the camo face paint. But this is a pain to get off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I always use camo paint. I feel like a facemask gets in the way especially with my bowstring. I think the paint is just a lot easier. But yeah, deer definitely pick up a human face. Gotta camo it up one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabin Fever Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I use them for bowhunting and turkey hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyslowhand Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 If you wear glasses, you probably paint your face like I do. Masks hide the glare, but fog your glasses and you can't see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
