Sunglasses While Hunting

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

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 !

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:
