<br />that was last years "killing" beard, it served me well.

That's what it's for man! Have fun with this one! It's better than us arguing over crossbows and antler restrictions! And no that is not a green light for someone to be a smart arse.

Haha the shaving his arm pits is too far, but you're still a good dude phade! I would have to agree though that I'm a scent freak so I'm definitely growing a beard, but maybe not to the rats nest I had planned until 'yote hunting in the winter. I don't want to be struggling with a stinky beard all fall that is unmanageable.

Hahaha!

Lmao @waterrat

Nice oblivitar!

You're kidding right phade?

And that's why we love you Paula

Jeremy, a beard is ones own personal preference, I doubt your co-workers beard is the cause of his lady problems, chicks dig beards man!! I do agree that a natural growing beard is badass but to each their own!

I dream of the day I could look like grizzly Adams in 2 weeks ha! I'm working towards a career in law enforcement so my bearded days will come to an end in a year or two. I dread it.

Hahaha I laughed out loud at that!! "Instinctually knows where the nearest mountain is" lol! To throw another one in, a mans beard is a dead give away to his ability to solve life's greatest questions.

Hallelujah deerthug!

A man's beard answers to no one but itself!!

Boys BOYS! Do NOT be denied the RIGHT to grow the manliest, most epic beard that you possibly can!! This is deer season we're talking about here!!!

Haha thanks for the encouragement ants!

Nice wit! Ok Paula!

That's what I'm talking bout! Nice red predate.

Im a just a young buck so I have begun my quest to fulfill my duty as a deer hunter by growing a traditional Jeremiah Johnson beard for the upcoming season, I'm going to need all of August and September haha! How many bearded brethren do I have out their for the upcoming fall!? Sorry ladies!

Dawwee

Here's an image just to give you guys an idea. The green route is the route I'd take if given permission, the red route is the one id severely prefer not to take, and probably wont if i don't get permission. Blue rings are bedding areas and the yellow lines are the two converging rub lines that follow the edges of steep shale ridges.

Scout scout scout!!!! Off season scouting has become sooo valuable to me in my young hunting career, and has led to multiple stand sites I never would have found by just looking at maps and watching deer movement while hunting. Every year my scouting becomes more and more productive as far as targeting bucks goes, but with great success comes great frustration. I have a spot that I found last year while scouting in march that had 20-30 rubs within a 30x30 yard square, and two separate rub lines that led into this cluster of rubs. I have not been able to get this spot off my mind this entire off-season and as the season slowly draws closer and im finishing hanging stands, this spot is eating me alive! To hunt this spot (which would be perfect on a south wind) from the property its on i would have to crash through the timber, blow my wind through two bedding areas that we have killed plenty of good deer out of, and walk right through a heavily traveled crick bottom. My only saving grace is to speak with a land owner who owns a field that would allow me to perfectly slip down the edge of his field right up into this stand. How many of you guys have faced this dilemma on a spot that you feel would be red hot? What did you do?

Alright man, good stuff!

You ain't kidding WNYBuck

Awesome. Great info guys!

Well this is good to know. Thank gentleman!
