Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do you hunt with glasses?

Well I'll be damned. I thought you were just making crap up again.

I hunt with a rifle, some snacks in my pocket, and a couple of those little airplane-sized bottles of Fireball!

We used the hell out of that stuff when we were paintballing.

When I was a drinkin' man,


I never hunted with glasses.


Why carry the extra weight.


Just drink right out the bottle.

Prutt near 60 yrs old, Still don't need glasses!... Took an eye exam for license renewal last mo. Aced It!... WTF?... Thought i should be blind by now!

That used to be a huge problem for me. I've worn glasses since I was 9. It would be impossible for me to hunt without them. For the first 2 decades of my hunting, I was plagued with the glasses fogging up just before I took the shot.

1) I found some anti-fog stuff at a gun show. It worked great. I just put a dab on my lenses before I went out.
2) Before the little jar ran out, I heard Dawn dishwashing liquid worked. I tried it, and it worked just fine.
3) After a few years of using Dawn, the problem just stopped. I've not had it since.

To this latter point, I have no explanation. I had no change of gear, no new revelations, no new meditation practice. It just happened.

I need glasses to read. Very slight scrip for distance.
Actually see better in the woods if there's sun without glasses ( no reflection/ glare ).

So.....no glasses hunting. Which also means no phone texting

Was a problem I lived with for many years then decided to get lasik. Problem solved.

Tri-focals

These ol boys that hunt out here, they step out of cedar thicket and walk up to you, looks like they been in a walk in cooler 🤣

I think some cat crap in their Christmas stockings is in order.

Seems like I was born with glasses on. Up here late fall on fogging is always an issue that a person has to deal with. I have progressive lens and keep two pair of glasses with me. The ones I use when hunting I either use cat crap or a very slight flim of shaving cream rubbed on and polished off. All leave a bit of a film that I do not like for normal reading / work so rather than washing off and re-applying I just switch glasses.

Picked the soap / shaving cream advice up from google research

"A simple, do-it-yourself fix is to polish your glasses with a bar of pure white soap or a dab of shaving cream. Coat both sides of the lenses, let them sit for a few minutes and then wipe away the soap or cream with a microfibre cloth"

They aint getting anymore helpful advice from me. I’ll have to put a choker chain on renegade50, that mofo always wanting to help em track gut shot deer and chit.

I sat in the truck last year, said fouck them and their got shot rat buck

Hunts 300 yards from his pickup: whole box of 270 shells, rattle bag, grunt call, bleat can, tinks slider wick bombs, cliff bars, juice box, wyoming skinner/hook, earth scent body wipes, binos,

hahaha

I often wear yellow safety glasses when deer hunting and always when grouse hunting.

Haven't had a lot of fogging problems.

Tackleberry brand?

To shoot pistols yes, a rifle with a scope no.
