123 4/8 P&Y Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Re: Facemask or No Facemask? I always use a facemask when bowhunting. One time I whistled to stop a coyote and it looked right at me. I am positive that if I wasn't wearing a facemask he would have seen my big white face and ran like crazy. It turned out to be my first confirmed bow kill on a coyote. Why take the chance of getting spotted? Who cares what those guys on TV do. There is so much acting going on in hunting videos that they could do the real hunting with a facemask on and then take it off to film the interviews and the fake shot. I mean don't get me wrong, I love hunting videos, but I would recommend wearing a mask for bowhunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossyhorn Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Re: Facemask or No Facemask? Facemask here. Well i did wear one but lost it last year so I guess i need to buy a new one. My main thing is that it keeps bugs out of my face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wsb Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Re: Facemask or No Facemask? I use a facemask, I cover the rest of myself with camo so I feel like I need to cover my face too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAbowhunter86 Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Re: Facemask or No Facemask? I always wear mine facemask. The areas I hunt are hunted hard so if the deer see anything different they are gone. hard to hide myself as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dg Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Re: Facemask or No Facemask? I've bowhunted only for the last 14 years. The deer haven't seen my face 15+ ft up in a tree. Period. No, I don't wear a facemask....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archerjg Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Re: Facemask or No Facemask? Depends on the weather and the cover, but most of the time I do wear a facemask. I have two that I use one for warmer weather and one when it starts getting comfortable in the 30's and 40's. Archerjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Re: Facemask or No Facemask? Yep use a face mask. Wear it to help keep bugs off my face, keep me warm on cold days. And like others say I have my entire body covered with camo, so would be wierd not to have my face covered too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Re: Facemask or No Facemask? [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Just grow a beard, that way you dont need a face mask!! [/ QUOTE ] You better shave your head because that hair holds scent. [/ QUOTE ] Thats taking scent control a little too far. Im not going to change my appearance to hunt deer. Ive alwyas had a head of hair and never got winded. Besides that, I shoot a Mathews, I can shoot em before they get close enough to smell me!!

Rhino Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Re: Facemask or No Facemask? I always wear a facemask. It's always some kind of charcoal filtered one too like Scent Lok. Covering up the scent from my hair and breath is probably one of the most important things to do IMHO. Never had a problem with my anchor point changing or my point of impact.

tedicast Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Facemask or No Facemask? In warm weather, I wear a camo sninz mask. In cold weather, I wear an Under Armour face mask. both of these are tight form fitting masks, that let you anchor the same as not wearing any mask.

ruttinbuc Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Facemask or No Facemask? I always used a face cover regardless of weather or season. Now that I wear glasses, I use face paint almost exclusively on the exposed skin above my beard and on my ear lobes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
