DEER BEARD
 
Hey guys,

What are YOUR "Deer Beard" rules?

Normally:

-Start the beard on opening morning.
-Cannot shave beard until first kill ( some say buck kill ).
-Must shave after season close.

I chose not to shave after I shot my buck since I shot it second morning.

Lets toss some Deer Beard rules & stories around!

We all keep our beards untill we get home, and the ladies tell us to shave cause we look like barbarians. LOL

I shave before I go on my trip then shave when I get home 4 days later. No beard just some "stubble".

I shave my neck but leave the beard from the first day until a miss. I keep going after a kill because it is lucky after that, until a miss then I start over again. This is from Nov 15 until the first week in Jan when the season ends.

I grow a full goat from the start of Archery season and keep in on and trimmed till the end of hunting season. So, about Sept - March 1st. I normally stay clean shaven the rest of the year. Once in a while grow it back for a month in the summer.

I start my beard at the start of archery season in September. I don't shave it off until spring. I like it for camouflage and insulation. I have been working outside the last couple years.

I always let me beard grow out for deer season! I shave everyday the rest of the year but the week before gun season starts I let it grow. I feel it helps you blend in a little more. It paid off this year!

Down here it can get into the 80s during the first part of the season, so I don't start the beard until the first frost. This year I waited until after Halloween because it didn't go with the costume. I keep it until the season ends. This year, that's Jan. 1.

this is the first i've heard about a "deer beard"! my first year hunting too and so far empty handed. I just started growing a little patch under my lower lip, whatever it's called. I think I'll let it grow until I kill something. :)

RE: DEER BEARD
 
I always have a goatee so that isn't technically a "deer beard" and because I work in a law office i have to shave before work so it is really out of the question. Magicman's beard is a sight to behold though! That is a mountain man-esque right there!

aint that the truth. if i had my way id have a beard from oct 1 until jan 15, but the boss lady says no. it tickles her, and that means i dnt get to play until i shave.[:'(]so iv made it a kill thing. i grow til i kill, then shave and start over again. she still complains but at least i get a lil lovin during huntin season lol

Once the season starts I dont shave til I make a kill.... been 2 and a half weeks so far since the start of the season and no kill yet.... the ole lady is starting to give me hell, says she's gonna start a new trend during deer season too... says she's not gonna shave her legs til I get a kill so i can see how it feels to have to look at all that hair like i make her do.

The Work thing prevents me from keeping one, however when i have vacation i let it grow until i have to go back to work usually about 11 /12 days. the wife doesn't like the side of the beard so I usually make a gotte and she likes that. Can't wait til i can retire from my JOB in about 10 years!!!!!!!!!

then i'll have that full Gotte
