Just wondering if any of y'all wear sunglasses while your hunting. In the recent years I've gotten to where I can't stand being outside without my glasses on because the bright sun causes me to squint and I need to preserve what quality eyesight I have left. I was thinking about getting some just for turkey season and wanted a little feedback from some who already may use them.
Thanks and God Bless, Steve
None neede here yet !!!! lol but my eyes too are aging ::)
I have never used them for hunting turkeys. I usually just pull my hat down a little more. There is already to much that can go wrong with a hunt, so I never wanted to have a possible glare spook the bird. That's just IMO but I know others that wear them. It's just whatever you feel comfortable/confident with......
Either sunglasses or regular glasses. Never been a problem.
I can't stand to wear my regular bi-focal everyday eye glasses while hunting, so I had my eye dr. make me a pair of regular glasses with brown frames that don't have the bi-focal, using the crizal lenses with anti-glare and grey transition in them.
They allow me to see my FFII easier and they get really dark without glare. Now they can't see my eyes, I get to see my dot without it appeaing to be a starburst, and I don't squint.
I have a pair of camo framed wrap around style sunglasses in my vest and pull them out occasionally. Not unless I have to though.
I wear Costa polarized glasses. They help knock a lot of glare down from the sun when the sun gets up later on in the morning.
I wear mine a lot in the evenings, but they are the Oakley camo half jackets with polarized lenses !
On the sunny days yeah
I have prescription sunglasses and wear them hunting on sunny days. They arent mirrored lenses and It's never been an issue
Nope
Oakley polarized xljs, never had an issue
Well gentlemen, it looks like the majority of you don't have any problems wearing them so I am going to try it. You all convinced me and gave me another reason to spend more money. :toothy12: :toothy12:

I have wore them plenty of times and never had any problems.
Pulling the bill of the hat down helps most of the time. But sometimes I have to put on my glasses the old guy clip-ons. I'm always sitting in the shade and it hasn't been a problem.
I have to wear my regular glasses all the time and start out the hunt with them and won't change unless I move on a bird up in the morning. Now after I move, the prescription Costas go on.
I wear green mirror lenses and I have not had any issues.
I wear sunglasses from sunrise to sunset darn near 365 a year - never had a problem,and wouldn't be caught outside without 'em.
I usually wear a facemask of some sort when hunting with my bow for deer or shotgun for turkey and any time I've ever worn glasses they tend to fog up, so I don't ever wear them when hunting now.
Only wear them driving or when I'm at the beach with my wife. :D

Absolutely not a problem. I never go without my sunglasses.
I wear Rx polarized shades when it's bright out. They definitely help me see movement. Good luck this season. I hunt near Bolivar, Tn. And you?

Chester County, about 20 minutes away.
I do not wear regular glasses and do not wear sunglasses when hunting.
I do make sure for the most part when setting up that I try and have the sun behind me.
I check places out when scouting and use different areas for morning and evening hunts.
I have a friend who cannot see without glasses and has never had a problem with the glasses screwing up a Turkey.
