Now THAT's Funny!!!!!  :biglaugh:

Honestly though, I've been at this near 40 years... Never wore anything on my face but whiskers. Killed a mess of deer too!!! Some of them even at spittin' distance...

Another thing, in case you're wonderin'... Woodchucker don't like trees!!!!! Anything higher than a Barstool, old Woodchucker gets a nosebleed... Fell 22 feet, out of an old wooden stand. Never went back "up" untill a few years ago. I bought a ladder stand on clearance at Dicks. The first few times I was up in it, I was scared $hi+less!!!!! I STILL don't like it,LMAO!!! Do a search on PowWow... "Woodchucker climbs a tree" It'll keep ya laughing!
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

Spandoflage fits tight to the face so there is no interference with anchor and also keeps your face warm.  :thumbsup:

Face paint usually, but face mask when it gets bitter cold.

I use the spandaflauge head nets. They stay close to your face without any interference with my string hand. I take some 3-d blind material and hot glue pieces of it on to the head net to help break up my outline.

I like a nice stretchy camo neck gaiter that I can slide up and down off my face as needed.

I sweat too much to use paint, or I would probably use it. One thing I look for in a mask is how it fits around my ears. If it's too tight it pins my ears to my head and I can't hear as well. I've been using a mesh 3/4 mask with a mouth hole & it's been working well. Pretty good at keeping the moquitos off my face, too.

Quit the paint years ago. I use either net masks and solid ones in colder weather. Regardless, I cut ear holes in them so that my hearing isn't affected. Ears bad enough as it is.

I wear glasses and masks always fogged, until I got an ASAT 3D facemask. It is great!

I have used a mask since 1969. My favorite is the full Quaker Boy mask with the wire rim. They are hard to find but well worth the money.  :thumbsup:

Mask for me, helps with the mesquiteos and quicker/easier in the dark.   Trying the Buff this year- lightweight and tight so no interference when shooting

Selfbow,
Obviously you've been working out, but I know who you are! You can't hide from this 59 year old kid!

Please bring me a Rose Oak Ultra Delight or a 1-piece Tip, in late December. I'll leave out cookies and 2% milk.

I'll check my list, Roy, just to make sure you've been nice.  No promises, but I'll see what I can do!!

I wear a mask as well. Mask netting when it's warm and I switch to a balaclava when it's cold.

Depends on how cold it is. Paint is great when it's not too cold, or if there are no 'skeeters, but a balaclava mask if it's cold, and a headnet for turkeys due to bugs. Gotta practice all possibilities so your anchor is OK.

Face paint unless it's cold and windy. Then I wear a StormCloth facemask. It's waterproof and windproof. Form fitting and does not restrict peripheral vision.
