hoytman62 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I have noticed some hunters use face paint while hunting and others don't! Is there a significant reason for using it and purpose? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husabud Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Because you can scare your target still and get a shot off. [ATTACH]13863[/ATTACH] Lol. My Bro uses it and likes it. I don't like the extra work to cleanup after a hunt. A half mask is fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNhunterr Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I wear my scent lok full season suit and a cabelas camo baseball cap every hunt. I also hunt from a natural made ground blind every hunt. I've had 3 does, a 6pt, and a 4 pt all at 5-10 yards this year and they had no idea I was there. Don't see the point.

arrow32 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Normally wear a facemask. To much of a pain with the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Too much trouble to clean up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 i prefer face paint--especially when duck hunting and using a duck call. I also paint up most of the time while bow hunting. I don't like having anything covering my face and feel more confident with my anchor point. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zizzer59 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Most of the time I paint my face, even though my dad makes fun of me for it. I can't wearing a face mask, you ever tried to spit with one of those things on? lol But I hate itching my face and getting my finger covered in paint. Usually when it starts getting cold I'll switch to the mask though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 It's one of those each to their own things. I don't care for face paint at all. Too much trouble and too messy. Also with a mask it's easier to keep my face warmer in cold weather. My closest hunting buddy always uses face paint. Like Todd, he doesn't like anything covering his face. He hits the shower after he hunts to wash off the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Agree with Al. Never tried face paint, but use a mask when I think I need it, mainly turkey and coyote hunting and with deer when I am not in great cover. See plenty of women and men on videos taking mature bucks in bow range with what would appear to be shiny skin with nothing breaking up there face at all. Keep a beard here which I think helps some.

WStreblo Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Face Painting I hate wearing a face mask but I will when it gets colder. I usually throw some face paint on just to break it up a bit. I don't get all crazy with it and paint tribal designs all over it either.

dbHunterNY Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'm with Todd except I don't wear paint. I've had deer close and not been busted. however, I think it helps sure. I mean the skin on your face stands out just like your hand if you don't wear gloves. it's not that messy. field wipes take it off well enough too, if not my wife's makeup remover pads. I guess it's just not worth it to me at this point. I do wear a mesh face mask with open top. easy to pull up and down without removing a hat.
