Burnt cork for face camo

[EASTERNARCHER]

Ya know...when I was younger hunting with Dad (rest his soul) we often spotted deer coming in to check out what was burning when we made a lunch fire....why didn't I think of that???

Weird, but one place I hunt bulldozed some trees on the perimeter to make more room for a center pivot and piled up the trees and burned 'em.  Two years later I walked by, and rubbed up against the charred trees and the ash was still good.  Camo'ed up right then and there like I did long ago.  I'd kinda forgotten all about it working like that.

Don't forget that black stuff is carbon. It will absorb your scent! Someone is selling it for that purpose believe it or not.

For cryin' out loud.  What's next?

Wouldn't it be easier to have your face tattooed OD green?

Seriously, a lot of the guys I know carry a plastic tube with a couple of corks in them. You push up on the botom one as you use the top one. I keep one in every pack.

I read an article in Fur Fish Game about a fellow in Canada that starts a small fire and waits for a curious dear to come and investigate. It worked for him.

Good reason to drink a little grape juice.

I had better go get another bottle...or two. Wouldn't want to run short of corks, would I?
I guess that means something besides Boone's Farms...without screw on caps.

You boys are a tough audience.

Used in USMC for years.  When onthe hands it has to be re-done often

Have been using it for 30 years. Works great, cleans up with soap and hotwater.

I guess I will be the only one that says he would rather use a head net. The bugs usually seem to find me when hunting and the head net keeps me from swatting at the bugs in my ears. Less movement the better.

Well, I agree with bobhat. It brings back fond memories. But, now I have no problem with a few streaks of camo make-up, or a loose fitting headnet.

I've been using it for 45 years, still works as good as it did back then.

I've used it but I am also a headnet fan(no mess)
