Steve Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 What do you guys use as face camo? I use a jungle boonie hat with a face veil tied to it that I can pull down when the birds are coming in. My mate uses one of those realtree headnet things, but on a warm day he pants more than the bloody dog! I tried out camo cream for a while, but it was hard to get it all off.

lazza Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 Hiya Steve I use the realtree headnets as your mate does, I have 2 though, one of them is a light T shirt material, which is great in the winter,& the other is a net one, which I find comfortable as the mesh is quite large & lets the breeze through. I tried to talk Kev into wearing a plastic sainsbury's bag & to secure it tightly, but he wouldn't have any of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC Futrett Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 How about a bit of Harrison drape curtain rail bolted on to the peak of a baseball cap with a draw string at the side. Then you could open and close the camo mesh as you wanted. :laugh: :laugh: 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead-eye-dick Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 you could also have a standard lamp put inside the cap, than you could close the curtains and read when sport gets slow!!!!!!!!!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted April 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 And here was me trying to ask a sensible question (for a change). I should have known better. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 I wear a hat with a large floppy brim. Face nets and their variations, end up irritating me and I feel "itchy". I used face camo once when I was a lad (a mate in the Army cadets got me some) and it was a hell of a job to get off. My mother wouldn,t let me in the house for days, she thought I was an illegal immigrant. PS. If any illegal immigrants read this and are offended.....TOUGH. :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 I've always used a military issue "headover", which for those who aren't familiar with them are stretchy green fabric tubes that go over your head and fit around your neck to keep you warm. They are large enough to pull up over your face when required. I've always thought this was one of my most important bits of kit when decoying or roost shooting, until yesterday. Yesterday was my first trip out decoying for nearly a year and guess what? I couldn't find my headover. Needless to say I went without and it didn't make an ounce of difference. I was getting clear shots at pigeons directly over the hide and they didn't seem to bother about my pale face peering at 'em. Until it was too late that is. Of course there is another reason for using a headover- they only cost £2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deako Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 I use a photocopy of Lazza's ugly mush.I secure this over my own rather attractive face and it works a treat,the crows simply pile in to attack it............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazza Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 I use a good skin cleaner to take off the camo cream. It's good for getting the blusher & lipstick off also......... Only kidding............I leave the lipstick on............ :laugh: :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
