Camo Face Paint-Better than a Face Mask

There is a great debate among hunters. No matter the hunting season you will find a divide in opinions. This debate does not concern weapons or ammunition, it is far more fundamental than that. It concerns the most important element when hunting, the ability to blend in with nature. We are not talking about which camo pattern is best or which brand is superior, we are talking about the great debate of a facemask versus hunting face paint. This applies to duck hunting face paint, deer hunting face paint, elk hunting face paint, you get the idea.

While there are still hunters who prefer a face mask, many hunters: waterfowl hunters, big game hunters, upland bird hunters and so on are turning to camo face paint. You see, the benefits of hunting face paint far outweigh the benefits of a face mask.

It’s about your senses.
Hunting can be both physically and mentally demanding, especially when chasing elk over peaks and through valleys or overcoming the harsh weather conditions that waterfowl hunting brings. These types of conditions require hunting equipment and accessories that allow you to perform at your highest level.

Hunting masks impair two of your most important senses: your sense of sight and your sense of hearing. When entering the field you are entering the animal's home, their natural habitat. They are built and designed for that terrain, that weather and that habitat. They know the lay of the land and they are constantly on alert for predators. You have to be on our “A” game, free of distraction when you enter the field, forest or wherever you are hunting. The hunting mask interferes with your peripheral vision which can prevent you from seeing even the slightest movement that could be the difference between a harvest and busting a herd of elk.

Most hunting masks cover your ears which stifles your sense of hearing. When big game hunting the animals are heard only when they want to be. It is amazing how quietly an elk can walk through the forest. It is imperative that you have the ability to hear every twig snap and branch break. With cloth over your ears you are likely to miss many of nature’s key sounds.

Let’s talk about comfort.
The only way for you to be on your “A” game and performing at your highest level when on the pursuit is to be as comfortable as possible. You have to be able to scale mountains and sit quietly with minimal movement for hours at a time all in one day. Wearing an uncomfortable face mask can often cause fidgeting and more movement than necessary. The slightest movement at the wrong time can jeopardize a chance at a shot.

Face masks have a reputation of getting duey from breath which causes a great deal of discomfort on ones face. They tend to shift around and get caught on things like hair and debris. Imagine rising to take a shot when your face mask gets caught on a branch ruining your shot. This type of thing happens and can be extremely frustrating.

Utilizing an all natural hunting face paint like Nature’s Paint can provide you ultimate comfort while keeping you free of distraction. You don't have to worry about impaired vision or hearing. You don't have to worry about unnecessary cloth around your face that needs constant adjusting. All of these factors can make the difference in your hunting experience.

So what about concealment?
After all, it is the whole point, right?

When it comes to hunting it's about bringing the animal up close and personal, getting the most ethical shot and best chance at a harvest. Regardless of where or what you are hunting, to be successful, you need to stay hidden and disappear with nature.

It’s true, you can certainly count on a face mask to keep you blended with the nature that surrounds you, that is if you want to deal with discomfort and impaired senses.

By utilizing an all natural camo face paint you can avoid the discomfort and unnecessary fidgeting, and take advantage of all of your senses. Face paint is versatile, allowing you to hunt any environment and stay hidden. You can switch up your pattern and colors depending on the nature that surrounds you and the game you are hunting.  

If paint is so great why is there a debate?
This is a normal and very logical question. If hunting face paint is obviously superior then why would hunters have this great debate? The answer comes down to one word, quality.

Many paints on the market are made with low quality, synthetic and harmful ingredients. These ingredients are known to cause skin irritations and breakouts. To top it off, many of these paints are next to impossible to remove from the skin leaving you with remnants of black, green and brown in your pores after hours of scrubbing.

When you switch to an all natural camo face paint you will notice those skin irritations simply don't exist and you can focus on your hunt, and only your hunt. Sticking with an all natural camo face paint will eliminate the time and difficulty associated with removing the paint. An all natural hunting face paint like Nature’s Paint can be removed in seconds with a towelette, face wipe or baby wipe.​

Lets sum it up.
While hunting face masks are effective when it comes to concealment, they have many drawbacks as far as comfort and senses go. They tend to cause extra fidgeting and impair your sense of sight and sense of hearing.

The market is filled with camo face paints made from synthetic and harmful ingredients. These hunting face paints are known for causing skin irritation and breakouts. They are also a mess to apply and very difficult to remove.

All natural camo face paints are versatile with the ability to blend you with nature in almost any environment. Hunting face paint like Nature’s Paint is easy on, easy off, irritant free and convenient. With 100% natural ingredients it will keep you comfortable and concealed in the most extreme environments.
