Hunting hat what do you use?

[punch]

Been practicing shooting with my camo bucket hat and keep having problems with the bow string hitting the brim and folding down over my eye.  I have tried tipping the hat up a bit but that exposes my forehead.  What hat or head coverings do you wear hunting?  I perfer a bucket hat to keep the sun off me but I might need something else.  I hunt in So Cal and burn easy so I need coverage.

I usually use a baseball style cap an never had a problem hitting the brim.

I use a face mask/hood.  When it gets cold I ad a camo beanie style hat.  Here in Indiana we don't have much of a problem with sunburns during hunting season

I use a Shemauge now if it's cold or one of Big Jim's short billed, wire rimed caps, bend it the way you want, hats.

A Wool Stormy Kromer works well for Me. For warmer weather, being of Scottish blood - I've been wearing a Tam. Bob

Those Stormy Kromer hats are awesome

A short brim baseball style. Made of Saddle cloth.

I use a Shemauge now if it's cold

  Same here, those things will keep you face nice and toasty.  Wore one snowboarding too and it actually got a little warm.  Only problem I have is when I'm wearing glasses it sometimes will fog up my glasses but if you tie it just right you'll be fine.  I assume you got yours from Elijah too?

Im a 100% stocking cap guy for that very reason. The only time my string doesn't hit my brim is when I shoot bows 62" long, or shorter.

Sunscreen.     I don't like to wear a hat while hunting.

Sunscreen.     I don't like to wear a hat while hunting.

Doesn't the scent of sunscreen cause problems?  All the ones I have ever used are pretty strong scented.

Only if the deer smells it and if he does, he smells you. 

[JoJoDapyro]

From my understanding deer have a better sense of smell than a bloodhound. There is little chance that they can't smell you, no matter what you do. The wind can be your friend, or your enemy.

[PEARL DRUMS]

I cant speak for Patrick's sun screen usage.... But I have noticed, after a few decades, that deer are scared of human odor. Not so much gas, bacon grease, smoke or whatever else you may have stuck to you. If your human odors drift by their nose your in trouble. They smell bacon, gas and dogs all year long when we aren't in the woods bugging them. That's just my finding, others will have dramatically different spins.

[JackCrafty]

Punch, yes, the sunscreen smells strong when you first put it on but it gets weaker after a while.  But I can't get close to deer no matter what I do.  I usually end up shooting at rabbits and squirrels.
I know I've scared away plenty of game when my hat gets caught on a branch and flies off my head!  I break the code of silence and utter a few choice words before I know it.     So no more hats for me.
