A friend and I attended one of the last boot camps Barry held. It was a great time for the whitetail beginner as well as the experienced hunter. There are always new things to learn but we also found it a "convidence builder". By that I mean,,,you hear or actually see in the field how someone like Barry does something or "why" they do it and you say to yourself "I do that! " or "I know a spot just like this! " An experience like Barry's Bootcamp you can go back to your hunting grounds feeling like you have been doing somethings right and now you can add a couple new things you've learned.
The only piece of advice I might have about attending Barry's Bootcamp is,,,take a long logging chain or tow strap.   :biglaugh:
"Good Luck" & "Shoot Straight!"

I'm assuming the information would apply to big woods areas with low densities as well as farm country?

Thank you

Barry replied quite quickly. He mentioned that the second week is filling up! I have requested the first week and can't wait to go.

Been wanting to attend one of these since they first started but wasn't able to make it happen.  Was super bummed when Barry quit having them. Won't miss out this time; I will be there the second week.


Barry, thanks for putting it together!
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.
