On strike!

[OnHoPr]

Well don't remember Nov. 19th on Nov 27th. It may be harder to harvest backstraps the last two days of the season.

Blammer I'm on a lease in chester, SC about 12 miles out from the one we went to. I killed a 6 pt last tuesday, Muzzle loader. One of them plastic wrapped thingies. Shaun, my son, killed a piggie with the same concoction.

Before the beard.



Approximately what I look like now.

Approximately?
Did you use "just for men?"

[Flinchrock]

I've worn my beard for 40 years...

BTW, you look a lot better with than without, just keep it trimmed up...

[youngda9]

I've decided to join the cause and go on strike as well. It's been a couple years since I last had a beard.

[Freightman]

I couldn't get that much beard if I had started it the year I got married 1960.

[geargnasher]

I look like a mangey possum when I don't shave. Even then, it still covers up a lot of ugly.

Gear

[0verkill]

That made me realize I've never seen a possun with mange. If that wouldn't be the ugliest animal ever it would be in the top ten at least.

Why would you want to trim that off you look better with a beard. ha ha
As I stated earlier I have had one for several decades now and nope I would not shave it off for anything or anyone.
By the way what you have is like a couple weeks for me even at my old age. Only difference is mine is more silver/white/gray now and I don't have any, well at least much on top anymore that is really more of an issue than the beard. You can feel every cold breeze very easy when there is no covering on top of the head.

Until me my wife had never even dated someone with a beard. I'm a grizzly UNIX admin, it is almost required to have a beard. I've had one for most of the last 15 years. My older kids still think I look funny with one, my younger ones think I look funny without one.

I shaved it off for the wife a few years ago as she wanted to see what I looked like without it, she then asked me to grow it back. Without it I don't look my age

[nanuk]

I'd let my beard grow, but my wife would just pluck a couple out, and the last one, she'd just bend back and forth till it broke off....

[Slow Elk 45/70]

Blammer ... keep the face hair...the good lord meant foe MEN to have a beard...that is why we have hair on our face...IMHO

[2 dogs]

Sorry DJ..... LOL.....

Years ago I had gone the season before without killing a deer. I didn't see a deer on opening day so I told everyone I would not shave or drink a beer until I killed 1. Opening day was on Saturday, the following Monday evening a little doe stepped into the path, I shaved and had me a cool one that night. So good luck.

[Blammer]

ouch, that's really putting on the penalty, no beer! May have to try that, maybe I'll hunt a bit more.

[TXGunNut]

Haven't shaved in a couple of years, current GF would be pretty ticked off if I did. Gets a good trim when I get a haircut, I get a haircut whenever that grey stuff up top gets long enough to comb.
Some folks I knew several years ago don't recognize me with it and that's fine by me!

[fatnhappy]

So did you shoot one yet or are you loafing around the house?

[runfiverun]

like i told dawn.
you ain't gonna shoot no deer from the living room.

have fun with the beard.
i grew mine, then cut it into chops,went with the reverse goatee.
done the thin line. grew out a rutherford b. hayes. did the stache to the ears.
went foo,just shaved under the chin line.
no sense having it boring, and the deer might not recognize you from day to day.

[Blammer]

Nov 19th is when the season starts up again around here. I plan to be out ALL DAY chasing them.

East of here it's started already but I have no place to hunt or I would!

If I had an extra $300 I would go to SC to hunt! But that's not gonna happen.

[fatnhappy]

It starts the 17th here. I'm ready.
I spent part of the day today double checking zero on half a dozen guns. I saved the best for last, my .308 win savage 99F with the steel buttplate. It's worse than the 12 guage slugs.
