I don't like wearing one (but the wife insists)

[barrel]

A bit of humour in the title but a serious question. I always wear a head net when hunting rabbits but am not at all keen especially when the weather gets hotter. My question is do you use these or not?, and how much difference if any do you realistically feel they make as regards concealment?. It will be interesting to read your experiences on this one.


Kindest regards

I don't use one. I'll sometimes use a face veil when I'm shooting squirrels in the woods.

When I hunt rabbits, It's usually just a camo cap.

Mmmm...a bit less conspicuous than wearing the wife's G-String I suppose.....

Just look on the front cover of the July issue of A/G World and then page 63. What stands out most on p63 ? The shooters head ! If you wear camouflage, then wear the complete outfit. After all, you've paid a lot of money for it.

I wear a camo head-over with just an eye slit whenever I'm out hunting or vermin shooting, including out with NV at night.

Human skin stands out & reflects light surprisingly well.

My wifes got a camo g string so i have no problem...

I dont use a net only a decent hat this weather to keep sun off.

Depends on how ugly you are

I use one as it keeps the horseflies and mozzies off my face.

Ah have you ever actually found the G spot

I use an ex US army face veil which I picked up years ago. The piece that fits on top of the head is standard camo pattern (old) and the rest is a very fine all round mesh which doesn't impede vision but keeps insects out. Good for pigeons.

I use military scrims and yes full concealment does work, I was once sat in amongst some scrub 'fully clad' watching some rabbits whilst trying to decide which one was gonna get it when I noticed something appear to my right, I sat tight and watched as a fox came and sat no more than a yard to my right, after contemplating my next move for a few seconds I slowly turned my head in his direction and he obviously having picked up on my movement turned to look in my direction, took the poor bugger a few seconds to work out what I was, poor thing nearly 'sh1t a brick' when it finally dawned on him that what he probably initially thought was a bush was actually a human, his ears pricked up, his eyes widened and the look in his eyes said it all, I can honestly say I've never seen anything scarper so fast...
