I used to use paint but now I use the stretchy kind of face mask. I have a friend that uses dark brown panty hose for a face mask. Seems to work good for him. I just cant get over the idea of it. (Yes I am married, and no he isnt that kind of friend)[

Used to do paint, but it' s less now and only in warmer weather. In colder temps I do exactly like Rob does and it works well. A flick of the thumb just before drawing drops the neckwarmer enough for me to feel my kisser.

All of the above. I have different masks that I use under different circimstances ie. temperature, am I calling or shooting etc. My favorite is the Spandoflage Mask. I usually add little strips of Spanish Moss on it to add to its effectiveness. I also use paint when the occasion calls for it.
I have a kisser knot tied to my string but the Spandoflage Mask has never kept me from filling my freezer.

I use a 3/4 mask, then I can take it up or down as needed. I like the paint better but don' t like trying to get it off. I hunt alot before work so the mask is a must. I have never had it interfere with my string or peep, I don' t use a kisser button.

I use a 3/4 mask that is made from some pretty thin material so there' s no problem feeling the kisser through it. If I' m hunting from my treestand the mask is all I use but if I' m going to be hunting from the ground I' ll use the mask and then paint around my eyes. I' ve never had much trouble getting it to wash off.

i use a face mask, but i carry the paint just incase i forget it, if all else fails i' ll get dirt/mud or even better some burnt bark and rub that all over my face.....i' ll do whatever it takes for them not to see me[:-]
