Default Scent control, your hair and bow season. What's you preference?

Well, in the past I've always grown out my hair and donned some extra facial hair durring hunting season in an effort to keep some warmth, but the more I read about scent control the more I believe ths is the wrong way to go about it. Virtually every piece I've read about human oder says the majority of human scent comes from our hair. Plain and simple our hair is dirty and a sponge for the scent we try to eliminate.

So Saturday morning I did the deed. I shaved all the hair from my head and I planned to keep it shaved through the end of bow season in mid December. I optimistic that this will help to keep scent down as well as speeding up my pre hunt routine. Now I don't have to worry about wet hair or drying my hair before early morning hunts.

So this question comes out of curiousity.

Do you
A) leave you hair "normal"
B) grow out your hair
C) get rid of it all
D) other: please explaine
