Face paint. Masks get to be a pain in the @$$. They're usually hot, itchy, or you can't spit in them!

I have one of the Under Armour masks. It seems like wind would cut right through it, but it doesn't. I love having it when I'm in the boat at 30 mph and 40 degress. I'll also paint up sometimes too. Go to walmart right now while they have their halloween stuff and pick some up. I found some for $1/tube works pretty good. They'll probably have some on sale after halloween too.

I use a net mask early in the season to keep the mosquitoes off. Later I use a fleece mask.
Might buy some Halloween paint this year.

I use a camo hankerchief I picked up at BassPro. I think Academy has them also. Tie it like an old western outlaw mask. When the ducks are coming in I pull it up over the bottom portion of my face...is loose enough on the bottom to allow me to still use my call. Also helps cover the neck. When the ducks arent homing in, I simple pull it down off my face...pretty easy...doesnt get in the way...dont have to worry about being to hot or itchy. And it only costs like $5 or something.

Plus one on the primos, or similar mask. For cold days I've got a fleece mask from cabelers. I'd only use camo paint if my beard was 12in long, putting on camo paint is the equivalent to man makeup.

+1 on $1 black halloween paint from wal-mart. just need enough to break your face up. $5 gets me through the season. I have never found a face mask that was comfortable to wear and didn't interfere with calling. Keep some baby wipes in your blind bag, and only your hunting buddys will know how "gung ho" you are. If you are worried about how you look take up quail hunting

That's why I have that UA mask. I can pull it down under my bottom lip to call, but it still keeps my head and big ears warm

10-4 on not being able to spit in them. Face Paint for me just for this reason.

When I use one, any old mask will do. Before I quit dipping, that was a pain, your mask got all soggy with dip spit. Never use face paint, seems good until after the hunt and you got to wash it off or look a fool going to breakfast.

I use a net mask with ball cap early in the season and if its cold I use the baklava.

It's ok roadgoeson, just be carefull putting your makeup on while driving, if you ladies would just get up ten minutes earlier to pretty up, a lot of car accidents could be avoided.
