use to use face paint. then I went to a head net that I could still use my kisser with. Now I went to a peep, and I use a scent lok hood. I didn't like the face paint because it was too much of a pain to get off if I wanted to stop in somewhere on the way home from the woods.

Will wear a head net when the skeeters are bad, but prefer facepaint- it just feels right. Kinda like getting into the spirit of the hunt.

BTW, unscented baby wipes will take off the face paint and is pretty much odor less.

I use one of the commercial scarf types. Fits tight, easy to roll down in the heat and helps keep me warm when its cold.

i usually have a face mask on but it's mostly to keep the skeeters away from my face...when the skeeters aren't bad i really like the face paint...it's cooler (temperature wise) than face masks.....once i had to mix soda (didn't have water) and dirt cause i forgot my face mask and my paint...called in my first turkey that morning.

you are sooooo right about charcoal.

i like using pieces of a burnt tree...works great!!!

Full face nets. I like the fact that I dont have to wash anything off my face and I cant "run out" of a face mask. I think it's very important to have your face covered.

when i wear my 3d stuff i use the face veil that it has in it. it's the bug proof stuff. definately helps alot. if i'm not wearing that i'll either go with or without the headnet. it depends what time of year and whether i'm on the ground or in a tree. i've tried the facepaint but it's too much of a pain to get off. but that's just me.
