I had a full  beard for over 30 years but at 54 it turned all white, made me look 100. So for the first time in many a day it was cut off.

 Now at 71 still have a clean face. Do use the camo makeup when hunting. any tips for easy way to get the make up off.....


Plus for some reason my wife was thank full when I cut the beard off.
you should see how I use to shoot

I shaved mine off once it got gray.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

I'm only 28 but my beard is very white, blond, and shiny. I rub some face paint in mine just to cut the shine. You guys might get away with it in deer season but I'd do something about for turkey season.

I earned all the gray hairs on my head and face; not gonna change them, and the critters don't seem to notice.

I am fond of face masks so the beard is a non issue for me.

I am 39 and my beard is prodominately white!  The deer don't seem to care and like Jmatt, I wear a face mask when I hunt gobblers.  Black bears don't seem to mind either.

With the red suit and sleigh I don't think it's an issue.

Turned 56 today. Don't think the beard is any more noticeable than the bare face, might even break up the profile more.
