Beard growing

[WhitetailAddict11]

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!

Lol... I have a buddy that starts his oct 1st and doesn't shave till his first harvest of the season. I remember one year that didn't happen till the 2nd or 3rd week of December! Pretty funny!

[PREDATE]

I grow a full beard from just prior to season until spring. The rest of the year I sport a goatee.

 

[WhitetailAddict11]

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

Im growing mine now, then make a full attempt once deer season comes!!

[thphm]

Did it for many years when I was younger, do not do it anymore, have not gotten any less deer without it.

I have not shaved in over thirty years I trim several times a year.

I started two weeks ago. I've decided I'm going to let mine grow as long as my employer doesn't say anything or fiancé lol

[WhitetailAddict11]

Nice wit! Ok Paula!

Shaved my van dyke the end of May. Too hot for the summer. Plan on growing it back in the end of August. All I need is two weeks for it to be full. Damn Mediterranean blood!

LOL ....I have grown them back  in the salad days. I can go close to full cave man  in a month or so. I don't care for it myself. Too itchy and smelly at deer camp, plus it takes me a day or two to shave the damn thing off. But thats just me..Good luck.

[WhitetailAddict11]

Haha thanks for the encouragement ants!

I just did the circle beard thing 2 years ago and keep it trimmed.  I skip shaving when out hunting or camping and shave off the extra before going back to the office. Too many bare spots to grow a full beard- seems to run in the family too.

 

I have more "blonde" hairs in the beard than brown.  The mustache is mostly brown, but the beard seems get "blonder" every few months.  May have to shave it to get my "young" face back.

 

Wife ok with it, youngest daughter says too scratchy.  Can't please them all.

[First-light]

Can't get anything going..........

I hate shaving so hunting season sets a good excuse to let it grow. I usually start mid September but it is typical off by thanksgiving since the wife hates it.

[WhitetailAddict11]

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!!!

[WhitetailAddict11]

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

Amen brother! Even though the wife and kids don't care for it, I grow it throughout the year and shave it off when I grow tired of it. I grew it back last week and shaved it off yesterday. In a few weeks I'll start again and keep it through the season.

[WhitetailAddict11]

Hallelujah deerthug!

[WesternNY]

This is why I wear one year round...

 

[WhitetailAddict11]

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.

[Doc]

But it's all true!

2 funny!!!  I am happy I have enough Italian blood to grow a full one, and enough Danish and Swedish to keep my back free of hair!!!  Not sure where the Polish fits in.  (No wise cracks!!!  LOL)

 

Facial hair is frowned upon by work, yet one of my old bosses who use to complain had a full beard!!!  So he did not have the right to tell me it was not acceptable, even though he tried...  After fellow coworkers pointed that out he stopped.

 

I usually grow one for rifle season yet recently I seem to start earlier.  I have to trim otherwise I would look like grizzly Adams in 2 weeks.  The gray hairs seem to be multiplying every year, might have to put on more war paint this year...  Arg.  I will start September 26th on the way up to scout/bow hunt and will not remove until after dec 8th if the gray does not bother me too much...  And yes I agree no facial hair has ever gotten me a deer but the tradition is fun...

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.
