    I don't cover my face...i grow a beard for the rut though

    I don't care for face masks as it makes it harder to find my anchor point

    I dont cover my face. If its cold, I will wear a neck gaiter pulled up on my chin. Being still is ten times more important than camo. You could kill any deer while wearing blue jeans and a red sweatshirt if you dont move at the wrong time.

    I'm a face paint guy. I hate anything over my face unless its really cold.

    But, to be honest, if you're hunting out of a treestand, you're face could be bright orange and the deer won't notice.

    In the early season ...face paint. When it gets colder I wear a face mask. The facepaint and no hat help a lot when it's hot out.

    I either use this very lightweight face mask or paint when warmer. uploadfromtaptalk1366651194114.jpg
    Sometimes don't cover my face depends on what kind of mood I'm in. When it gets colder I have a beanie hat that has a small bill on the front and a face mask built into it.

    I'm a groundblind man.........I have a super thin balaclava that's black colored. In cold weather I have a thicker black one. I also have a really thin Realtree patern facemask if I choose to blend with the sticks and get my Ninja on :)
    I'm afraid the face paint might break me out and I need to stay dead sexy at all times............

    Usually nothing messes up my anchor. I do use a neck gator and facepaint sometimes.

    I find in Florida I end up wiping all the paint off my face with the sweat so I use a camo screen balaclava to keep the bugs off as well.

    Agreed, a bowhunter should have a beard

    That's pretty funny! Good question. I have a beard that really works well when there is snow on the ground. :D

    I use the smut off a burnt cork. Works really well and is easy to wipe off. You just have to let it burn for a min. and wipe it on when cool.
