I did before, a few times.  It really isn't worth it though.  Deer have white on them and we still can't see them in time.

There's shrubbery that looks like my beard, isn't there?  I purposely grew it that way because it looks like a sage bush I saw one time.  A stripe of black across the nose and I should be good to go!

I'm 45 and the goatee is finally PREDOMINANTLY grey.   There is no way I would color it... A couple of stripes of black war paint across the cheeks and forehead and I'm ready for hunting!   Besides, the Bible (Proverbs) says that hoary hair (grey/white) is a blessed thing... No sense in hiding what's natural and a blessing from God!

sometimes folks find things to worry about...that really arent something that matters...IMHO..

there is a whole culture out there that thinks we need camo everything...I think it has more to do with selling this years newest camo pattern than anything else...those outdoor shows are getting out of control...too many uncle bubbas for me...

of course there are silly things you could wear...but I have killed plenty of big game with my recurve wearing my blue jeans and a flannel shirt...

I did "black out " my eyes ...and even wear a head net a few times when I couldnt get my stand up over 12 feet...

picking the wind and stand...sitting still...and taking that first shot are still the bowhunters best friend...

Not much white yet. I'm 54 and the head is getting quite grey, but the beard is still predominately dark. Copper defficientcy causes grey hair.

I consider it the Grey fox look.   ;)

Most are not that white.  I don't think it is a problem unless you have a big old white St. Nick one. Then you better stay out of the woods in gun season.

Mine has been said to look like a heavy frost on a cow turd. It's been thru an awful lot without having to put up with camo on it.
