    Well that's just stupid...... Please note. You only need to paint the front side of your body.

    I'm afraid to wear face paint as it might offend indigenous people......

    No, but between @Swamp Stalker and @Tony there is too much of that stuff going on around here already.

    I prefer to wear a camo neck gaitor and a hat, no facepaint if possible. I wore paint last year none this year, with hat and gaitor it breaks up the shape of and shadows my face enough that i feel confident.

    I do not pull gaitor up to nose as that is horribly uncomfortable and messes with my anchor point

    I wear a face mask/gator. My hunting partners mark their faces and hands with black paint.

    I use both depending on the situation. If its extremely cold, I use a facemask. If the weather is just cool/cold and enjoyable, I use face paint.

    I wear a mask primarily to help with scent control. Facepaint is useless for me. :lmao2:
