I made exactly that same decision back in 1972...... beard and mustache. The only difference is that I never shaved it off. When I go, it goes with me.....lol.

[ny hunter]

I still shave because I figure less hair less scent.

[Pygmy]

I have always worn a beard spring and fall.. Now my current significant other HATES whiskers...

I can't use the camo excuse because my whiskers are WHITE now..

I don't want to bother shaving mornings before hunting, but I don't want to get SHUT OFF either...

Decisions, decisons..Why is life so complicated ?

[G-Man]

I don't shave starting 1st day of bow untill i get my deer...dumb ritual but i rarely get to the point i need to trim my beard..

[fasteddie]

I did that one year and havn't since then . I don't care for a beard and don't go past 3 days before shaving again .

[nyantler]

I haven't done it in a few years but desided to try it this year again... have been growing mine for a few weeks now

[Paulie]

Doc, i wouldn't picture you with a beard!!!

[Caveman]

I usually stop around a week prior to opening of bow and I keep it through february or so. This year I have a job which requires that I shave so the fun's over.

[WNYBuckHunter]

I have a beard during season, then it usually sticks with me till spring.

[Doc]

One thing I never could do was to keep growing a beard and then shaving it off. Getting the thing beyond that aggravating "itchy" stage was just something I only wanted to do once.

[WNYBuckHunter]

I never really have a problem with the itchy stage for whatever reason.

[Deerthug]

I grow a goatee a couple months before 10/1 and shave it on my last day of hunting in December. The wife and kids aren't crazy about it but they get used to it. They always tell me to shave it off all season. Then when I do it at the end of the season they ask me why did I shave it. Damned if I do, damned if I don't!

Get dom, your actually saving $ let her know because you aren't using shaving cream, water, or wasting a razor!!!!

[Geno C]

[Doc]

I still have to shave (under the jaw bone, and up on upper part of the cheeks) about every other day. If I don't do that and keep it trimmed kind of short-ish, it starts looking a bit out of control and scraggly. It's not one of those Grizzly Adams kind of beards.....lol. I think it's actually more maintenance than if I shaved every day.

[pawle76]

I'm a beard and stache for hunting guy also. I started growing mine end of Aug. Now like Doc I just trim it every week or so to keep it looking somewhat clean. I grow it for keeping my face warm not so much for camo. After hunting season and when I get tired of tasting my soup the day after I ate it I'll hack it off.

[G-Man]

LOL...There should be a best hunting beard photo contest!!!

[Paulie]

I'm told Nov is national mustache month (not sure if that's true). I started early Sept with a goatee, but have been keeping it trimmed....thinking bout going stache.....

Dec is national mullet month, so get growing on that too!

[hunter]

I usually don't shave when I go hunting so I get natural camo plus I don't like to shave without using after shave so it's scent control issue also.

[16. ga hunter]

have stache and gotee year round let the rest fill in mt. man style wild and scragly through the season

[Marti375]

I have to be clean shaven for work, which sucks. I grew my beared out for the season every year when I could.
