I like the Spandoflage headnet/facemask.  Haven't used paint or cork in years.

I grow out my beard during the hunting season and cold months and wear a low brimmed hat... seems to work.

Headnet for me. Easy on, easy off, no bug problem and best of all no clean up if I have to stop in town before going back to camp.

Interesting results on the poll. Anyone have options other than the typical stuff?

Carbomask, no smell, easy cleanup, and once it it dries it won't easly rub off. I like their soap too, it doesn't generate a lot of lather, this good when you have a limited amount of water.

face paint all the way for me, can't shoot with a vail on and find it gets in the way

after watching a lot of hunters in the bush the two things most overlooked and that stand out the most in my opinion are

1, Face
2, hands

i think its very important to cover them up when hunting walk and stalk

I like the face paint but I always wind up red for days after (alergic). So I use a tight face mask.

RC, The burnt cork comes off easier than the face paint does. I use 2 or 3 of the pre moistened wipes at the end of the hunt to wipe it off.

Neither, if I can help it. A flynet if hunting in the desert where there are literally thousands of blasted flies buzzing around.

Okay Ben...

Is it just a foolish tourist thing or do you guys really wear the hats with all the corks hanging off them to chase away the flies?
