beards and scent?

[mrgreenhead]

Well if you know who i am u know what im talking bout when i say beards, people say i look like a leprechean, I was wondering if the beard holds much scent? If it does im still not shaving thats for people that cant grow beards.

I'm with you, Mr Greenhead. I've had a long, full beard since June, 1969...the year I graduated from high school. I'm sure our beards hold scents(as well as other things) but if you play the wind right you shouldn't have to worry about it. The other things can come in handy on a long sit as nourishment!   javascript:void(0)    Pat

I always grow a beard for camo. I detest face masks. I always wash my beard with Dead Down Wind shampoo before hunting and figuire it dooesn't hold any more scent than the hair on top of my head. If you were really worried about it you could always get a scentlock headnet.

As far a scent goes on the head, what comes out of your mouth from breathing is where most of the scent is coming from anyway.  Don't worry about it.

I grow a go-T beard for hunting season. I wear glasses and have a lot of trouble with face masks because my glasses fog up. I do use some burnt cork on my face as camo. I pay close attention to the wind and I hunt from the ground 95% of the time. I have rarely been winded by deer but it does happen time to time but thats part of the game.

Art, It's just like your hair an body. If you wash with Fu - Fu stuff you smell like Fu - Fu Stuff.
If you use natural products with a sent simular to your hunting environment you bee's ok! pun intended.

Or like my Uncle told me once If you smell like where you are and not what you ate! You'll be all right!

If you start by shaving off your beard, who knows where this madness will end?

[foxbo]

Rub some of that polecat scent in it.

[Dartwick]

Wash it with Febreeze.

Seriously - if they can smell your beard (or your breath), then can smell your other bits too.

I'm pretty sure that also applies even if you have paid top dollar for a Scent Ninja biosuit, powered by ulra-stenchblock 9000 (tm).

It's easier said than done, but if you keep the wind in your (apparently) hairy face, it's moot.

Hell Art, from that pic I couldn't tell ya was even wearin a beard.

Real men wear beards! White beards have by far the most power (don't worry youngsters, as you will get there someday, if you're lucky!). Women and other prey fall before beards in awe!     Yet, to be safe, I have my dogs lick the ice cream, lipstick, and beer off my bristly jaw each morning before I go out hunting.

Ah yes, so much for bravado. In truth, I would be even more unbearably ugly without mine, and I'm too damn lazy to shave every day anyhow ... and by far the most important reason I've worn a beard since I got out of the Marines in early '74 ... because I havent' sold out to The Corporate Man and I CAN! I have known women who would never date a man with a beard ... and women who would never date a naked-faced ape. I married one of the former and have never regretted, although she may have. If God had meant us to have hair on our faces ... well, there you go! dave
