    Default Turkey hunting mask.

    I am always thinking about those toms and it is never to early in planning your hunts for Spring. So my question is, What kind of mask do you use? The one that I have is a full head and neck cover with draw strings in the back which makes it a good snug fit. I guess you can say that I am in the market for a new mask.

    I use a thin net type mask,I bought a 3d bug suit last year and I now use the hood on it with the other mask.The hood has a face mask that hangs down and is long enough to be tucked into the coller of the front of my shirt,the bug suit makes me virtually invisible.

    I've been using the Quaker Boy Bandito for probably 20 years now. It's a 3/4 mask with elastic around the top and a wire eye frame. I like it because it can be worn down around the neck all the time but pulled up in seconds if you get caught in a "pants down" moment. Pretty inexpensive, too.

    I got a Primos stretch fit one last year in realtree apg. I like it real well, it has an opening for your mouth.

    I used to use a full fase mask, but I had to take my hat off, tie the strings, took way too long! Now I have a 3/4 mask that I use. Just bought another one for back up. Only thing was I had to attach a strip of elastic to it so it would stay up better.

    I use a full mask from Quaker Boy. It has a band for the eye openings. My wife has a cap with the face mask sewn in----that way she always knows where it is. Both work, very well. CB

    I use the UA head and face cover. I like the compression fit. I can still wear a hat and my vision is not obscured.

    A 3/4 mask is all I use. They allow me to put in on at the truck and keep around my neck until I need it. One less thing to try and dig out of your pockets when you need it quick.

    I use the same thing for all of the above reasons.

    I use a netting type full head cover. It's made by Hunter's Specialties and has two elastic bands to keep it in place. I use it because I wear glasses. The netting keeps my breath from fogging them up as easily.

    Ever since I got into ground blind hunting I found using a black face mask and a black top works real well! Black may be more effective than camo! Go figure!

    Same style I use and for the same reasons.

    The one I use is a full headcover/mask, but with the elastic and drawstrings it can be used as a 3/4 facemask. Use the same mask for bowhunting. Don't know who makes it, but it came from cabelas and been pretty happy with it.
