Fatcatsplat Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 20 denier black stocking is always a favourite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Go for the "veil" type, rather than a full, or part, "mask". It avoids condensation and the masks that cling to your skin can get quite hot and uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bala Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 20 denier black stocking is always a favourite i would stick with the face mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simbasausage Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I found you just dont need one, even though the makers will argue that you do! what you do need is a wide brimmed hat to cover your face and eyes as the birds come down.

wids Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Never wore one! I dont feel I need one in fairness, I use a green cap and just follow them with your eyes using the peak to cover you a bit, JUST DONT MOVE QUICKLY OR FLASH YOUR FACE - till its too late! You cant keep still enough! I make a far thicker hide for crows and just always look through little holes etc. Id imagine if you use same hide for crows as pigeon you may want a face mask or whatever but I dont like shooting with something other than skin on the stock.

Blunderbuss Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I generally don't bother, but on the days I think my pasty gurner might be particularly off putting (stop sniggering at the back) I tie a green/black shemagh over my mouth & nose, highwayman stylee.

Grandalf Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Long white beard - Face mask is a must! Green vegetable bag - the type they put sprouts in - cut to width and length and a bit of elastic. Washable, disposable, easy on and off, and free! (Binder twine makes good alternative to elastic then you can 'customise' it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodpigeon100 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I find the genuine ex-mod ones off ebay for around £2 excellent - good quality and bramble /thorn resistant. They are green but when you put them on the they are as good as camo 'cos your face is not uniform in colour athough it does appear so when you see people without veils popping up and down from behind hides like little moons going up and down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee-kinsman Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 You don't really need it to be camo as long as it's a dull colour and covers your skin. I make mine out of old t-shirts or material because I must lose about half a dozen a year. I've made them black, green, brown, grey, red colours and they have worked fine.

hendersons Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Have a look at this one seems a bit of a bargain. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem;PdsSession=1e17e0291380a5aa63445ba4fff583b5?itemId=150545388801&index=2&nav=SEARCH&nid=33156600172 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mag357 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 For crows I always use mask with army camo bush hat and roof on hide,double thickness stealth netting, hence pretty dark inside so crows cant spot movement.....works for me.
