Title: camo face paint?
Post by: D-Rock425 on September 17, 2013, 12:34:45 PM: Who puts on their make up for bow season? I only do it for the first day or two it helps set the mood.

Post by: Rainier10 on September 17, 2013, 12:51:01 PM: Never leave home with out it. It gets cold in the late season but I have never been able to shoot with a facemask or head sock on, just can't get my anchor consistent. No issues with anchor and the makeup but the cleanup each day is brutal and like I said the late hunt is really cold. Of course pain is temporary, big bucks on the wall are forever.

Post by: Russ McDonald on September 17, 2013, 12:56:13 PM: had mine on every day I hunted. I also use a Under Armor bacalava. I painted up around my eyes and nose and cheeks.

No,no,no that's so you don't accidentally swallow duck crap. :chuckle:

Post by: Jonathan_S on September 17, 2013, 01:11:03 PM: I don't put on a thick gooey coat but I do take the glare off with it all over my face, neck, throat, ears, and eyes.

Like mentioned above, I just can't get a consistent anchor point when shooting with a face mask.

Not a chance......

all natural....the longer I am in the woods, the more face camo I get.......
Title: Re: camo face paint?
Post by: Pilot_Hunter on September 17, 2013, 01:21:00 PM: I have a mesh face mask that hugs my face really well. Much easier and cleaner than smearing the face paint all over.

Post by: 724wd on September 17, 2013, 01:21:50 PM: that's such a pretty buck Bone! :tup: what a trophy!

and no, i don't face paint, but i thought about it this year. my 6 year old daughter might like it! :tup:
Title: Re: camo face paint?
Post by: D-Rock425 on September 17, 2013, 01:26:08 PM: I do only for the first few days.
Title: Re: camo face paint?
Post by: Russ McDonald on September 17, 2013, 01:27:22 PM: I got light skin and red hair. Sun don't like me and hair is going gray so need something to cover it up. Plus it covers up the ugly some or just make me more ugly. No the Under Armor got it down around my neck. Nice buck Bone :tup:

Post by: Band on September 17, 2013, 02:35:49 PM: I don't wear the makeup but I get my nails done and wear false eye lashes. ;)

Post by: kentrek on September 17, 2013, 02:48:54 PM: I use war paint....not makeup...can't go to war with out it
Title: Re: camo face paint?
Post by: BowForElk on September 17, 2013, 02:50:30 PM: I just quit shaving all together and that breaks up the face line pretty well but I have worn make up before. More so when I go out and camp and stay out not for day trips or mornings/evenings.

Title: Re: camo face paint?
Post by: Alan K on September 17, 2013, 04:09:29 PM: I just grow out the beard a bit. I have put the stuff on before but I swear it makes me sweat more, I believe it prevents heat from escaping my face.
Title: Re: camo face paint?
Post by: scottcrb on September 17, 2013, 04:39:05 PM: i paint face and hands for duck hunting. i will for bow hunting as well but probably not for muzzle loader.
Title: Re: camo face paint?
Post by: lostbackpacker on September 17, 2013, 05:17:17 PM: I've never used camo face paint except in the USMC
Title: Re: camo face paint?
Post by: turkeyfeather on September 17, 2013, 05:19:31 PM: Face paint is for pansies. You need to pick up some fresh bear crap and smear that on your face. :chuckle:

Title: Re: camo face paint?
Post by: Song Dog on September 17, 2013, 08:05:58 PM: every time I go out I put on the camo. I also have a face mask for the bugs.
Title: Re: camo face paint?
Post by: Brad Harshman on September 17, 2013, 08:35:13 PM: I don't wear face paint per say. I char the end of wine cork and use it instead. The soot works great and is easily cleaned off.
Title: Re: camo face paint?
Post by: pd on September 17, 2013, 08:41:40 PM: 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.

Post by: huntnnw on September 17, 2013, 11:33:43 PM: 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

Post by: sakoshooter on September 19, 2013, 07:52:11 PM: I grow a beard every hunting season. Looks like a cow elk butt so it really attracts em.

Post by: Jonathan_S on September 19, 2013, 08:06:14 PM: 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.
