    Do you guys where a mask or use face paint when hunting deer or turkey? or neither..? I've always worn a mask but I hate the moisture that builds up inside the mask from breathing. Not to mention the snot that gets all over it. So that's why this year I will be switching to face paint.:rock:

    Last year for rifle I didn't even wear camo, so nothing from past experiences, this year I got paint and a mask. For bear the other day it was hot so used paint and liked that. After putting it on you don't even know its there til you look in a mirror after. I'm not a fan of masks or anything for face cover usually. If I go out in cold I plan on the mask.

    Face paint. I can't stand masks.

    This year I'll be trying out Carbo Mask. I'm hoping that it works as well as he says it does :ninja:

    I'm like you. In years past I've used a mask. Hate all the moisture so this year I'm going to try paint. Also if I wear my glasses they fog up on those cold mornings.

    I wear one of those hood things that start with a "B". For really warm weather I use a camo mask.

    I go with paint down here in FL, I do plan on using a mask up north as my Floridian blood can't handle cold all to well.

    I have always used a mask, either a half mask or a net mask. This year I am honestly considering paint for early season at least. I always hated the idea of paint due to clean up or if you have stop after a hunt for a Gatorade or snack you look ridiculous. But even though I don't use a kisser button I don't like how it's hard to feel the string with a mask on.

    Face paint for sure, the last thing you need is something obstructing your vision.......

    I wear a mask till my beard becomes far to long and itchy so I switch to paint...problem is that's usually about the time the temps get colder and a mask is helpful :lol:

    Face paint and a beard. I feel the masks/nets mess with my peripheral vision.

    Face paint early season. I may spend some extra time making it look sexy on opening day because it makes me feel like a warrior. It's a mental game as much as it is anything else ehhhh? As it starts to cool off I will usually switch to a face mask.
