Face paint, headnet or nothing?
Since hunting season is a few months away I was wondering what people prefer to use while hunting. Face paint, headnet or nothing. Be specific, why do you use what you do and what brand do find works best for you?

I prefer the camo paint - even in the late December season.
I have never been able to stand having a headnet or facemask on, though during the August bear season I tend to wear a full headnet to keep the mosquitos at bay.

I don't remember the brand name but the bow season up here in Saskatchewan starts labour day so I use a 3/4 face net to help with the tormenting bugs. If I didn't have to contend with the bugs I would most likely stay with the mask, quick and easy.

I have a headnet for early season, then a camo bandana that I use later in the season. You have to have a headnet in the early season in Virginia. The $*#&%@ mosquitos will pick you up and fly away with you! [&:]

I USUALLY have a full screen headnet for bugs, but I have taken many deer without anything on but my hat. I have forgotten my mask or dropped it walking in to the woods. So I look from behind my bow and the deer have looked right at me and knew nothing. I guess its all preference. I have had alot of success both ways. I would like camo paint but it seems to just get all over everything and I hate trying to scrub it off.

I too like the Face Paint the best. I don't like a lot of hunting videos/shows when the host and other bowhunters don't have anything covering there face or hands.[:@] But yet there decked out in the best camo minus the face and hands. That is a pet peeve of mine.
