RE: Face mask, face paint or nothing
I use a headnet with a pretty good sized opening around the eyes. I like the big opening because it doesn't cut down on my peripheral vision. And since this leaves quite a bit of my face exposed I use the camo face paint to cover what's exposed. I do the majority of my hunting from the ground & want to blend in as best I can.

RE: Face mask, face paint or nothing
I use face paint sometimes cause I just can't seem to shoot good with a net on. This yr I grew a beard so I don't use any paint on my face. I wear a scentlok hood that I slit the sides on so I can expose my ears. I basically wear it like a bacalava with my face and ears exposed but neck and head are covered.

If you are a serious bowhunter......blah blah
I don't wear a headnet, because I hunt from a stand. No movement is important to me. If I used a ground blind, probably, if I ever go that route.

RE: Face mask, face paint or nothing
I use a headnet with a pretty good size opening because I wear glasses. Also, it's crucial against mosquitos. Earlier I replied to a post about my encounter with a doe and a spike while on the ground. I stood 10 yds away, in the open, with full camo and they never saw me. It was the coolest thing, ever<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>.

I've had the bow string catch on the mask and screw up my shot. I'm more comfortable with the paint. It's just a pain to wash off at the end of the day.

To camo the whites of you eyes, try some liver toxins. Jaundice will make your peepers the color of a Fall beech leaf. Just kidding of course - no law suits, please.

RE: Face mask, face paint or nothing
I've been using a Spando-Flage headcover this year. Too bad I didn't try one sooner. It works great. I can feel my anchor points just like I'm shooting with nothing on. I used to use camo paint, but found it annoying that every time I scratched or itched, that crap was all over me.
