Can Deer see your face?

Unread postby TreeRat » Fri Oct 28, 2011 12:45 pm

Some times when a deer looks at me I feel it can see my face. I use a neck sock that I stretch from my chin to the top of my head it covers my ears and the side of my face but my forehead,nose and mouth can still be seen.

Does pressure on Deer have anything to with this. I can understand seeing movement but the face thing I have always thought about.

Yes, they can see your face... Especially if its clean shaven lily white.

I agree a face mask helps to cover up that white blob in a tree.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

When I have deer coming in I hold my bow up to my face so that the riser goes right thru the middle of it. If I am too lazy to do that I hold my gloved hand with my fingers splayed out over my face and look thru my finger cracks. Facemasks make my glasses fog over so I have to keep them down under my chin.

Here is another vote for the beard! I might even throw a little face paint on from time to time when I'm feeling really gung ho!

Muddy, you ever worry about your glasses reflecting the sun and spooking a deer? I have never had it happen but I am sure someone has.

I'm consciencous of it but only if the sun is hitting me in the face. If it does I'm hiding my face with my hat brim and peeking out. I also worry about my binoculars as well.

If I could grow a beard that didn't look like a 8 year old amish boys I'd try it out some time.

How do you use your binoculars with your glasses? I have worn contacts for a few years, but have lasik scheduled for a few weeks from now, so I have to wear glasses til then, and I have found them to the the biggest PITA while hunting..

I dont think he was referring to you at all??

I think he was just describing what his beard looks like if he tries to grow one..
