Carbomask is some good stuff. It dries quickly and removal is a breeze.

That's one of the best ways to kill a deer, unless he tears 'em up too bad!

I wear a camo cap unless its too cold and then i wear a face mask. If a deer is walking by I look down toward the ground and peak out right below the bill of my cap. If it's in the 30's or below you better believe I'm wearing a fleece face mask.

I feel butt naked having anything less than a cap on. This question weighs heavily on how much cover you have in relation to your shooting lanes.

A mask is more for the hunters ease than a deers. I've killed way too many deer with a bow, wearing khakis and a flannel shirt to believe Camo or face cover has a dang thing to do with it. Silhouette and movement are how a deer sees you.

What he said.

Carbomask is the ticket. Been using it for years.

I always take several tubes on elk hunts and just leave them in the bathroom at the lodge. It doesn't take but about 2 days and everyone in camp is using it.

GREAT PRODUCT!!!!

I was gonna order some of that but, while in a small National Guard xchange, grabbed a 3 pack of the ACU paints. Gotta test before season and se how hard to clean off. If a pain, I'm ordering the Carbomask.

The best thing you can use to remove face paint is unscented baby wipes.

Yeah, that's the ticket. I've been using it for several year.

Haven't tried those. I use women's make-up removal wipes, they work well too.

I used a face mask for years but now only wear one when it gets colder. I have never had a deer spook by not wearing one and I try to always setup on the dark side of the tree in the shade.

No mask, no paint. Sometimes don't even wear camo.

Face paint. When it gets cold I wear an under armour mask that is skin tight.
