Do you mask your face for hunting?

[Gordon Jabben]

Tracy, I have never used a face mask or paint either.  I went and bought a mask for turkey hunting with a friend because I thought he would feel like we were at a disadvantage without it but it was so uncomfortable I took it off.

It's there nose that I worry about the most

Tracy, To be honest... Normally I would go your route and have had 100's of deer within spitting distance in WI but I'm not a very good hunter yet. Usually I get one opportunity a year and hate to have something like my ugly mug ruin it. Usually I do just fine figuring out other ways to ruin the opportunity.

Tracy, you sure do have the hero pics!!!

I once had a hunting partner snap a photo of me on stand, my face was shining like a lightbulb!!  I have a goatee and sideburns, but a full beard is just not on the cards for this guy.  I will rethink my stance on the mask.  It scares me to death not bing able to feel my anchor.

Planning on one even though I have a beard that touches my chest (and have had since my late twenties) and I'm not all that pale.  Just seems like good practice.

[Ryan Sanpei]

Yup!

Its really not needed for whitetail deer.   They pick up on movement more than anything.

I use face paint. If it works or not it's fun. I'll never grow up. I still make forts out in the woods. I call them blinds.

I found that face paint/mast and dark gloves will hide that bright white face and hands making it more difficult for a deer to pick up any movement. I hunt a ground blind slightly into a pine woods and deer approaching me from mere yards will not pick me up with the mask and gloves.

my usual look this time of yr.

I usually wear plaid shirts and brown pants; I do have a little bit of camo. No face cover unless I'm on the ground. 20 feet up it doesn't seem to matter as much.

I like the mesh face masks, but I've actually now gone to face paint now.  I don't buy the stuff the hunting companies make.  I buy the stuff they make for little kids Halloween costumes.  Its cheap and it comes in tubes.  I see guys on "hunting" shows put a stripe or two down there face with lipstick like sticks of paint.   Seems pointless to me.  I completely cover all exposed skin with the cheap Halloween paint and it DOES make a difference...especially at close range.  The cheap Halloween paint is also easily removed.  
   This is a tip that my buddy gave me...who kills most of his deer from the ground.  Halloween paint works great.

Only when I miss!!Then I hide my face!

If you paint your face. Shaving cream will take that stuff off nicely.  

[Yellow Dog]

If I do I use a Spandoflage head net. Always for turkey, whitetails only if I'm on the ground. I cut two small eye slits and tie a piece of serving material tight between the slits.

CARBO MASK.

[KenH]

Nah!  I leave my face nekkid.  Scares the deer to death and I don't have to bother shooting!  Besides, I live in Florida and it's too bloody hot for even a bank robber stocking, and face paint runs.

Carbomask. Comes off super easy
