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. If he is that close.. He's already been shot.

I'm going to kill a 8 year old buck this year without a mask, just to prove you wrong!!  Is there such a creature in Alabama?

Yes face paint! I wear glasses and face mask would make my glasses fog up do to the hot air coming up from my mask. Switched to face paint and love it. And looks awesome lol

I use a mesh face mask. Having it on my head even in warmer weather has never bothered me.

Nay. Never use it. If I need to cover the face in duck/turkey/bow hunting, I use a half mask that covers up to my nose.

I use it...I don't like face mask.... I definitely do if I'm bowhunting and facing the east in the morning or west in the evening How about off the back deck?

I use it...I don't like face mask.... Same here. I use the dead down wind because it comes off so easy.

A beard and mask do the trick for me.

I use paint.
On hot days--much cooler than even the lightest face masks.
On cold days--much warmer than that soaking wet face mask once it is saturated with moisture from your breath condensation.
Disclosure: I'm probably over cautious though. When a deer is close, I'll even squint my eyes so when I blink it's not as noticeable. I always wear gloves, every single hunt. Don't pee from my stand, unless it's an emergency. Take way more scent eliminating precautions than almost any hunter I know. Etc. Etc.

Only use it for duck hunting, cause too much action hopefully to fool with facemask. Never for deer or turkey, don't like the cleanup hassle, and most of the time for deer at least feel like I do it for nothing
