Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Serious Deer Talk Forum Face Paint..Yay or Nay???

I'm going to kill a 8 year old buck this year without a mask, just to prove you wrong!!

Just dont paint weird designs or stripes like those IDOTS on TV. Cover up your face!!!! Smear it all over, thats what its for. It aint makeup or eyeliner. 2 curvy lines aint doing nothing!!

Good answers

Here are several pages from not long ago.

I use face paint myself... although I do catch crap about it from acouple guys at camp... But I hate wearing a mask...

I use it sometimes, I buy the dead down wind stuff cause it's easy to roll on. When it's gone I no longer do and yes that stuff it hard to get off, had to bum some makeup removal wipes from my fiancé last season. I have a beard though so I guess it doesn't matter to much.

I wear facepaint for bowhunting when it's warm cause It makes me feel like more of a badass with it on but freaks waiters at outback steakhouse out when I forgot it was on me after a hunt one time haha but like a warm mask during gun season

Hmmmm, if you're bow hunting, you plan on getting close and I would think having a mature buck a few feet from my tree looking at me, I'd want ever advantage I can get whether it be face paint or face mask.

If you're hunting from a shooting house, plaaalezzzzzz! Oh, if you're on a TV show, after the kill, please take off your face mask and don't look like a goofball talking to the camera with your facemask on when the hunt is clearly over.

Agree.

Beard for the face, if you feel you need something for your forehead sure.

Used to; now I wear a camo Buff hot or cold weather. I find them comfortable and help with bug protection

I wear a face mask to ward off biting bugs. Light weight mask early and heavier later.

I use it while deer hunting only because my boys are all about it. They like to paint up.


When I'm turkey hunting I use a mask. If it weren't for them I would use a mask deer hunting as well.

I use it when I apply my salt life decals to my truck

I tried, once, to use facepaint instead of a mask while turkey hunting...never put it to a text (by having a stare-down with a real bird) but felt totally naked and exposed, to the point of being uncomfortable. I'm sure as long as you're still enough, the face paint would've been fine for turkeys, but I couldn't give up my mask

I do not use face paint or a mask at all. Im not saying it wouldnt be beneficial in some cases but Im more worried about the wind than looking cool. Now as far as turkeys go, a mask is a must. Them ole goober heads are pretty good seeing detail.

I don't do the face paint...
But I will wear a mask sometimes deer hunting, same with gloves, situation dependent really.
A white man's face & hands will flash like a mirror at long range in the early morning sun. I def do hunting cutovers.

Have been using CarboMask for years. Bowhunting for sure. I took a few tubes on an elk hunt a few years ago. After the first day EVERYONE threw the other brands away and used mine. Awesome product and it comes off with just a paper towel.

nah

No paint....
