I grow a beard every year for deer hunting but have to keep it fairly trimmed for work. I usually let the trimming slide the beginning of November so that it is nice and thick come gun season to help keep my face warm.

No just more hair, more hair = more scent!

I start one every year, but after the first week I can't stand it an shave it off. I do have a goat though.

I used to grow one every year and shave it off around New Years. Then about 8 years ago I kept the beard for 5 years. Shaved it off and now I keep the goat 24/7.

Saw it in a movie once..... DasBoot, whent he reporter joins the sub crew and asks why they all didn't shave. 'Cause it would embarass the enemy to see the baby-faces of this crew'..(or something of that nature)..... I figured the deer might get embarassed too.I have grown a beard for the last several season but this year I haven't started yet...... I'll have a chat w/ my new boss.

Do you really think so Ghemry?

I am in big trouble then, cause not only do Ihave a beard but a foot and half ponytail!

What about the "camo" effect a beard has on your face?
