Yep, but it looks like the south end of a north bound buck.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Start the beard Sept 1. Grow it all winter. Moustache has been there since I first grew it at 16, never shave it off.

I played around with facial hair a lot back in college but have been mostly clean shaven for the last 10 years or so (work in finance).  Somehow, I got the genetics to allow me to grow a decent beard in 2-3 weeks but not much on top of my head.  I've been sporting a full beard for about a month.  I figure I'll shave it after my late November hunt.  But I'll probably grow it again for Spring turkey season.  As others have noted, the wife isn't as fond of it.  There are definitely some incentives to shave it...

I have had facial hair of some kind since I got married in 1977......this year I'm letting go for a bit, don't know how far I will get with it because my beard is not that full. Momma hasn't growled at me yet so we will let it go.

When I was a golf pro I shaved everyday for years. As soon as I decided to get out of that work I let it grow. I have to keep it trimmed for work but I feel like a mountain man again

If I didn't shave for a year I wouldn't have a beard

I always have some sort of face hair on. Full beard for the winter as I work in the woods, but can't stand them in the heat.

Totally clean shaven as of yesterday to grow a moustache for the month of "Movember". Google it up if you never heard of it. It's to raise funds for men's health, specifically prostate cancer. I like it as I can get away with a pretty outrageous "stache". Collect some money for my fellow man as well.

Had my 'stache since 1967, have had beards/goatees over the years, but beards don't last too long; too itchy, and besides, my youthful , boyish looks are compromised by a snowy white beard.

No, I'm back to shaving almost everyday! I grew a beard most of the time after I retired from the Navy, but current job requires either clean shaven or wear a beard net. I'd rather keep shaved than wear one of them damn things, plus it's getting pretty white and makes me look a lot older than I feel!

My department...carroll county sheriffs department Indiana are participating in no shave November. Each deputy donates a dollar a day for shop with a cop to participate. It's a nice change not having to be clean shavin each day!!! And it goes to a great cause
