With deer season coming to an end the day after tomorrow my thoughts are already aimed at spring turkey season. So here is my first question of many to come


I have been using those HS strut mesh mask for years and they are just a pain to put on. It's like trying to get dressed getting that mask set right on my head and it is very uncomfortable.

I have been thinking of trying one of those cloth half masks but I am unsure if they would stay in place. I have also kicked around the idea of using face paint but do I really want that on my face for half a day(we only get to hunt until 1pm here in MO) and I thought it would rub off easy on cloths going through the woods.

I am just wondering what kind of mask you would suggest that is easy to put on and is comfortable?

Also this is my first post here, I have been a reader off and on for a couple years.

I use the camo ballcap with the drop down face mask. It works for the turkeys and even worked on a buddy's dog that kept looking past my face area but didn't show any recognition (I was standing very still in full camo).

I use a half mask flat panel as I wear eye glasses and fogging becomes an issue at times.

I don't like anything across my eyes.

I have used several different types but the flat panel works the best for me. It is easy to pull up and easy to pull down and I leave it hang around my neck when I am up working towards a new spot.

Called a 3/4 panel face mask. Has an elastic head band and a moldable nose bridge. It is also reversible from camo to Black when I use a blind

I use a camo boonie hat with a drop down mask. I like the drop down masks cause it's one less thing I might forget at 5am. (which has happened before)

I have seen the hats with a drop down mask but I have wondered how durable they are.

One here that uses a drop down mask is the mask secure to hat or does it come loose easy?

I've had mine for a couple years and had no issue with it coming loose, and it shows no sign of coming loose either. It's pretty well sewn on 75% of the way around the hat.
