I like to wear a thin face mask so I can watch the ducks while I'm working them. I keep face paint with me and a couple extra masks. I often take kids and less experienced hunters. If I see they can't keep their face down then I have what I need in my blind bag to fix the problem. I always have my son either with a mask or paint. I want him to b able to see the birds working, that's part of the beauty of hunting these ducks. I still don't let him look straight up at the ducks though.
As far as others wearing paint, do what works for u. I have definitely noticed more people wearing it most likely due to duck dynasty. Hell, in pecan island the other day, I saw two yuppie blonde chicks, hot blondes, get out of a Range Rover with full camo and face paint. People just think its cool to duck hunt now I guess. I guess I just been cool before anyone knew it haha.
