Camo?

How far do you guys go with the camo, specifically regarding covering your face/ears/neck? Do you put on the warpaint or one of those mask/net half face or full face things?
edit: This is regarding archery deer hunting....why its in the bow hunting section...

I don't really wear a facemask, unless it's cold. Then I wear a fleece balaclava. But I typically use a decoy to divert their attention.
Edit: I just noticed this was in the bowhunting section. I don't wear one while spot and stalk hunting. I have a black one I wear in the ground blind and a camo one for treestands.

Sometimes I use face paint, but most of the time I don't really worry about it. Just throw a hat on and go. As long as they don't see you move you are fine and you have wind in your favor...

I probably go further than most for archery elk. I hunt the coast, my pasty face looks like a white paper plate if I don't camo up. My first year bowhunting I wore one of my camo duck hunting masks with just eye holes. I was deer hunting and had a bear come in upwind broadside at 20 yards. I drew, anchored, and that stupid mask shifted so I couldn't see and it cost me a perfect shot opportunity. I switched to face paint after that. I don't paint a pattern, I just dab on some green and black paint on my face and hands, then wet my hands and smear it all around so I change the tint of my skin. I use water soluble paint, so it thins out and goes a long ways, I think it helps my hands and face blend in better.

I use one of the stretchy primos masks. Wear it around my neck until I think I might need it can't really stand wearing the thing but it's better than having to take make up off.

Same as JBar, i used to paint my face during turkey but that nasty oily face paint sucks to get off. I wear it around my neck as well unless I am in a situation that calls for it. I also wear gloves.

In the Army we have a rule, if it's warmer than freezing outside, full face/neck/hand camo (when bow hunting or Turkey hunting)... I use that rule hunting too (old habits are hard to break..). If it is freezing though, (according to the Army) you are risking frostbite.
I HATE facemasks.
