    I'm gonna be buying a facemask and was just wondering what king everyone uses? The one I'm thinking about getting is a primos 3/4 cloth looking not the stretch fit!

    Due to the fact I use a kisser button, I really like the Primos open mouth one. (See avatar.)

    While the weather is warm I use a loose 3/4 Primos mask, but once it turns cold I switch to my Under Armour mask.

    You can see the one I use in warm weather in my avatar pic.

    Red head's enduraskin balaclava. It's thin enough I can feel my kisser thru it without affecting my shot.
    When its cold I have a big fleece thing that I just pull out of the way before shooting.

    I have a Field & Stream brand mask that I bought at D1cks Sporting Goods. I like it a lot.

    scentblocker, not sure which one. keeps me cool in the summer/fall and the bugs dont get in! has places on both sides to tighten and long enough to tuck in.
    only drawback is that i cant blow my grunt thru it.... makes an awful skreeeeeeeeeeeeeech! haaaa so i'll just leave it untucked and put my grunt under it, works ok for concealment

    i use the same mask as isaiah... it does get a little warm in those first few weeks but it is bearable and it keeps bug away..... it does good for colder days to keep wind off and i have worn a beanie over it.

    I'm really starting to have my doubts about camo. The last deer of the regular season I wore the tee-shirt you see me in, in the picture, the pair of blue jeans I had on when I left work and no mask at all.

    This deer I only had a camo hoodie and the jeans from work, no mask.

    Now that's for deer, I'm not talk'n turkeys.

    VA,
    i felt the same way for a long time.... but then saw a seminar at Bass Pro and the guy was showing how our skin "bounces" the sun's rays no matter our skin color... i always thought i could get away with it. then he said this to me... "if it (camo) increases your chances, why wouldnt you wear it?"

    I use woman's pantyhose.It makes the best face mask you will ever use because it is so skin tight and thin that it will not bother any of your anchor points at all.They only cost $3 to make and you can buy them in brown ,green and black.Just pull the pantyhose over your head tie the legs together than cut off the excess.then just take a pair of scissors and cut out some small eye holes and your ready to hunt. Since nobody makes any nice black masks they are perfect for blind hunting .
