    Here ya go fellas!

    Rules:

    -At the minimum you must not shave your beard (lip trimming and the neck area will be allowed as to keep wives/girlfriends "happy") from the very first day of the season till you feel antlers in your hands or the season closes.

    -Some choose to start earlier than their seasons start, that is personal choice...my season starts Oct. 1, I will be starting mid September.

    -Feel free to post pics of the progress and the hero shots hopefully for all involved!

    -All those who accomplish the challenge will be granted the ability to bragging rights for the coming off-season.

    I have a decent one going now but I will have to shave it here in a month. I will have a nice handle bar mustache though. :tu:

    haha! I hope I do well early in October like some years so I don't have to put up with the scratchy beard under my facemask.

    I gave mine a summer trim too a few weeks back
