Face paint or facemask/headnet, don't forget to vote in the poll...

[OkKeith]

Was watching a hunting show on TV the other day and watched a guy apply camo paint all over his face. I suppose he did a good job, but left his shinny bald head uncovered.

This got me to thinking, how many use paint vs some sort of cloth cover-up. Either a pull-over face mask or headnet.

I usually use a tight fitting pull-over full facemask. It is made of very thin, stretchy material. In cold weather I have a pull-over full cover-up made from fleece.

If you have more to add than the single vote allows, feel free to post suggestion, ideas or other comments.

So... which is it for you? Paint or a facemask/headnet?

Neither for me...burndt cork 100% of the time

used to use face powder, havent in some time, just because of the cleanup time involved, but i do feel better using it.

I grow a beard.Works cause I got black hair.

my beard looks like a does tail in the woods.

Burnt cork here, can't shoot worth a darn with a face mask or headnet.

face paint for some reason face masks affect my shooting so i stay with the paint give me better feel and never have to worry about it twisting and not being able to see

Camo sunglasses with lenses that are very different patterns from each other so as to not be symmetrical predator eyes.  Add a few dabs of black on the face, again very different on each side. I think the face paint is wasted if your eyes show.  In fact full dark face paint can highlight your eyes, the exact opposite of what you want.

The only net I wear is full face and it is the best by far until the sun shines, then I can't see out of it.  Again, I can't imagine that nets would work if my eyes are showing.

But then I'm not an elk, so how do I know?  All I can say is I have had them very close and staring right past my face when my eyes are covered.

Headnet,,, I wear glasses and it works!

Head net. Use to be just a beard, but now I am told my beard looks like heavy frost on a cow turd.

I prefer face paint but use a headnet only when the skeeters are real bad. Beard worked for years but it is no longer black but snow white.

How easy does the burnt cork wash off? I use the Allen face paint most of the time or a primos mask but the mask is to hot most of the year and the face paint is a pain to wash off.RC

Spandoflage , keeps skeeters out glasses in place and when it starts to cool down helps keep the heat in.

I use all three types of camo.What siuts the moment,or the location,weather etc.

What Greaseman said!

Face paint. Its as much of a prehunt ritual for me as sliding on my tab...

[stagetek]

Head net. Easy on, easy off. Keeps bugs away too.

[string bean]

I started out with paint but it's gets so hot during th early season I'll sweat it all off so switched to a facemask.

You guys that wear the paint; I realize we hunt the wind and all but does it have much smell? The thick oil based military stuff I am familiar with kinda stinks.
