I have never thought of wearing a face mask. I like chewing backer and spitting just as good as hunting.

I used to have a mosquito net with a slit in it for a pipe stem.  One day late in the spring turkey season the gnats were so bad that my pipe wasn't keeping up, so I took off the camo mask and put on the net and lit the pipe.  A turkey came by. I spit out pipe and took a shot.  The bow string grabbed the net and about ripped my right ear off.

I can't do the facemask, I've tried so many different ways and just can't. I use face paint in a blind or Treestand and when it's cold I use a neck gator and beanie cap combination to stay warm.

I wear a mesh one for deer and turkeys but not for pigs. I practice shooting with it on and it's never bothered me.

Sometimes.  I have less trouble with it interfering with anchoring than catching on my glasses, though.  Generally prefer paint.

Been using one for around 40 years. Been washing up 3 news one for the last 6 months.  They seem to be a bit stiffer when new. They should be ready for this coming season.

I have always used a face mask and practice with it on regularly.  I feel exposed without it on.  In my blind I have a real thin Black Mask I bought from Double Bull when they sold them. In my tree stand I always where a mesh one.

I like to use Spandofauge masks. They fit tight and work very well for me.

I'm a face paint guy. Mostly be because masks interfere with my hearing which, while it itsn't the best I rely on it heavily.
