for some of you just let that uni-brow grow out.   :laughing:   for the rest of us A nice earth tone eye shadow with some black to make it pop,or just get a short brimmed hat and bend it down a bit.

Be careful, Chuck. I tried that once during late season. Turned out my "doe" was a shed buck. Next thing I know I was running for my life with that song from the Blue Oyster bar in Police Academy going through my head.

I think it's a good question... For those of us who wear glasses that make our eyes look bigger than they actually are. Face paint or a mask can only do so much at "close range". Guess the (trick) for me is to hide my face behind my bow. Talking hunting from the ground here fellas..... At eye level.....

Had a button buck walk straight toward me at 5 yards on the ground and I just looked at him and he looked right through me.  He turned sideways and I let him continue and he had no clue I was there.  Didn't do anything special with my eyes and wear a homemade deerskin face mask.

wow.  now that will keep you alert on stand Jason.   Since I tend to like the ground in the late winter hunting, that could be one for the video.. .  or not.

Read your article in TBM.  Sorry to hear about Emmett.  That was a fun hunt.  I think I am going to be out of country for this years hunt unless it is early in January.  Cricket is still around, and in fact, since I read her the article, she is starting to be very demanding since she thinks she is famous now.

Gotta rethink the eyes thing for a while

Chuck,

Emmett's still around, but we thought we were going to have to put him down a few weeks after that hunt. Thanks to some good medication and rest, he's doing fine...for now. Since I don't want to agrivate his back, his only bunny chasing is the occasional yard rabbit, which runs under the fence after a lap or two around the shed.

I don't worry about my eyes.  I just don't stare at theirs.

I wear a camo headnet that keeps the bugs off, and leaves nothing but my eyes exposed.  To take care of them I got this great pair of hologram glasses specially made for hunting.  These babies work great and I've not been busted in them yet.

It's a wonder Hill and Pope and Young ever shot anything, with the clothing they wore!

GrayRhino that pic freaked me out, I really wasn't ready for it! Lol! Kind of gives you an Owlish look that Deer wouldn't spook over.

I guess a guy could get a pair of those wild contact lens.  Saw some not to long ago that had spider web pattern in them, and some that look like a snakes eyes.  If they saw you it would scared them half to death.
