Growing a beard for hunting?

Everybody knows the old cliche about growing a beard for hunting season. Is it played out though? I don't know, but I'll use any excuse I can to grow a beard. Some guys use this time of year to grow a splotchy creepy beard that would make Joe Dirt embarrassed. Please don't be that guy, if you cannot grow a beard, don't try. Go with a fu man chu mustache or roll with the extremely long sideburns. If you are going to look funny with a beard, do it with some dignity and some character. And to the guys who won't grow a beard but complain that they want to, but their wives or girlfriends won't let them, grow a set. Don't sit on the facial hair sidelines and look on wondering what could be, just go for it. If your wife or girlfriend doesn't like it too bad, it's not like she'll leave you over it. Hopefully not anyways. Strangely my wife prefers me with a beard. The only bad thing about a beard is wearing a ninja mask in my blind, it gets kinda itchy. But these are the sacrifices we make, the bearded brethren. So here we are, just a month from gun hunting season, time to start growing those beards guys. I'm already three weeks into mine, and lovin it.
