So how do you "camo your eyes" ?

[44charlie]

Reading the post about eye contact! So how do you hide your eyes from deer? Here's what I've thought of:

Put circles on my face.

Wear a fox or coon face hat so they see them not me.

Squint or close one eye

I use camo facepaint. I "draw" line through my eyes in black to mask the outline of my eyes. Works well for me.
I tend to watch deer very closley when preparing for a shot...let's me know when to move, draw, etc. I made a shot just the other day. That buck was within 15 yards when I saw him. Had to grab my bow, stand, draw....got it done by watching him very closley.

I wear some camo glasses.  They work great.  Only problem is they take a bit to get used to, it's like looking through a screen.  It gets rid of the dreaded "whites" of your eyes.  Here's a link to some....

  I've seen them at Wally World too for half price.  Check 'em out.

i just don't make eye contact.

I wear a soft brimmed bucket style hat that I can pull down to kind of "hide" my eyes, yet the brim folds up, out of the way when I draw.

I tend to try to concentrate my gaze on "the spot" no matter how far the animal is...I watch the head and attitude in my peripheral to tell me when to draw ect.  I think if you can avoid shifting eyes it will limit the whites moving....and I never look at the rack for very long LOL!

Just pray for really bushy eyebrows.

I agree with not making eye contact.  I keep my head down to where I can see the feet and lower body of the deer until it looks away.  The brim of my hat hides my eyes.

The brim of my hat hides my eyes until I draw.  I watch the spot and avoid eye contact.

Anything that keeps your face from looking like an owl's will work. I just squint inside my face mask so my eyes don't show as round.

[PEARL DRUMS]

If they see your eyes and bolt, you didnt have a prayer to get a shot off anyway in my opinion. They would have to be awfully edgey for the tiny little whites of your eyes to bother them at hunting distances.

[Eugene Slagle]

Those glasses would be sweet but, I can't go without my glasses so their out.

I just try not to make eye contact & focus on the spot I want.

If I want to totally hide my face, I have an ASAT face cloth hung from my hat band with slits cut into it for my eyes.  But most of the time, I'm either painted, or use my ASAT 3D leafy head cover.

                        oooops. sorry, thought you were kidding.

OK, seriously,        deer key in on movement, so freeze. Just steer at it. Don't move, don't blink.

Edit: I would like to add to this that I work grave yard shift and being extremely tired from having a hard night at work the camouflaging your eyes thing just totally tickled my funny bone. No harm or disrespect meant. Just some stress release that I really needed. Thanks

So how do you "camo your eyes"?

Squint.  

And, like in the last Indiana Jones: "Only the penetant man may pass" . . . be humble and look away or look down.   ;-)

[Rank Bull]

My eyes are brown.  :D

[joe skipp]

I switched to a headnet a few years back to cover my face and hide any "shine" from exposed skin I forgot to cover with face paint.

Very important for ground hunters.  Even though the headnet has a nice opening for my eyes, if a deer gets that close to see my eyes....he better have an arrow in him or I'm field dressing him.

So how do you "camo your eyes"?

Just get your wife or girlfriend really upset with you before going hunting, and they will camo them for you making them good and black n blue  

[Night Wing]

Like someone already mentioned, I squint.

If you drink a bottle of brandy the night before, yours eyes should be pretty blood shot!
