I know bow hunters wear face paint for the camouflage effect.  But this paint job tells altogether a different story: Upon returning to camp, the weary hunter peers into his empty ice chest, and realizes that somebody has drunk the last beer.

Isn't that grounds for physical removal from hunting camp? !

I have a mesh face mask that hugs my face really well. Much easier and cleaner than smearing the face paint all over.

I use the mesh face mask as well, archery, muzzleloader, modern, turkey, and ducks.  I figure if it gives me only a half second, that might be all it takes to make the shot.  Also, it keeps the bugs out of my ears and face in the early season.  I also wear camo gloves no matter how warm it is.

Use to wear it, but got tired of scrubbing my face off :chuckle: I have a merino baclava that is very thin and snug that doesnt effect my shooting

The worst thing about face paint is how it's hardest to clean out of your eyebrows   :bash:

When applying it at 0300, I kept forgetting to NOT put it on my eyebrows and it hurts to clean it out of there after a few days and I end up walking around looking like Jim Croce or Groucho Marx.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I usually go without it.  I shot my elk this year with no paint, no mask, and only two days of shadow.
