Default Fall Foliage

Not talking about foliage in the woods! Who here lets the facial hair grow out during deer season?! Kinda have a ritual of shaving opening morning Oct 1st and not shaving, only trimming, until I either shoot a buck or the end of the season.

Does anyone else do this or have any other rituals that you perform during season???

I let mine grow for two weeks in November during rifle season. Its something i have always done in the past. However, the main reason nowis because my employer doesnt allow facial hair sodear season isthe longest possible time i can go without shaving.

I shave mine just because it starts itching my face.

I started growing a beard two seasons ago and thought i would shave it off at the end of the first season. At the end of the season i didnt shave it. Turns out I like having a beard, haha. SO i have a beard most of the year now, but during the season i let it get shaggy until I either get a deer or the season ends.

I used to grow a mushtace the first of Sept. and keep it through the Illinois firearm seasons (for good luck). Got tired of it just before opening day so I shaved it off. So much for good luck. I filled both tags without it last year....

I let it start growing around the first of October and usually shave it of before thanksgiving dinner. Keeps the face warm, gives some camo, and makes me feel like a mountain man.

I let mine grow until I kill one too. Only the last years, if I hadn't broken down and shaved I would have looked like ZZ top before I even got a shot on one.
