Hunting is such a big part of our culture, the only ones who dont have beards are women and children. The dogs, cats, lizards, and even some fish have beards. Just the way it is.
To be fair, my dad (who has always had a mustache) will grow a full beard every couple years. I tell him I hate it everyday until he goes back to "normal".
My wife and daughter would both try to run me out if I shaved clean.....neither would recognize me as I have had some form of moustache and/or beard as long as I've known either of them....
