Wow.
Lots of knife handles there.

Very nice buck and a great story.

Have always crossed my eyes at the “no bows during gun season” laws.   Makes no sense, but I guess we’re fortunate to have the bow season we have.

Well, if that buck can't make Gene break into a genuine ear to ear Chuckie smile, nothing will!  Looks like the move to Iowa was worth it!

Wonderful deer guys!!! Living less than 20 miles west of Gene, I get to see some nice deer but not quite that big. Gene as per email conversations a month or so ago, I asked if you gave any lessons on shooting form and you told me that you would be the last person to teach form. You said your theory was to get very very close. Well I guess that I should have talked more about it to you and then maybe I would not have completely shot over the back of a 180's class buck last month. I didn't think that I was too bad with Buck fever but I found out I definetly have Monster fever. After the miss I think I had the shakes for an hour or more. Anyway, Congratulations to Clan Wensel!!

Terry, didn't get the rise I thought I'd get.................

Gene called me while he and Barry were standing over the deer when they found it. I don't know which of them was more excited. Great guys both.
Two of my closest friends and I can't say enough about how hard they go at it. I used to think I was a diehard whitetail bowhunter but I'm just a weekendeder compared to these guys.

Biggie,

Barry once confided in me that he learned all his secrets from you! He said "that Sweet Biggie is a "BIG" deer hunter."

I am one of the few guys fortunate enough to see Gene's Woody in person.  He showed it to me in his garage last Thursday evening.  Great length and mass, a real show stopper.  Stop smiling Gene...I'm talking about the deer!

I got to transport Woody to the taxidermist who lives near where I live.  Armed escorts and secret routes the entire way.  Unfortunately I did not get trusted to transport the rack, just the cape.  Foiled my entire plan.  I was going to call Gene about an hour after leaving on my cell phone and say "I don't know what to say...I stopped at McDonalds to get a burger and wasn't inside any longer than three minutes...".  Ha, would have loved to see him squirm while pulling this on him!

Dang John, that would have cost ya big!  I could just see ya on the phone telling Gene that line then doing a Larry the Cable Guy head turn and "forgive me Lord".

Hey Gene, I meant to ask ya if this one made your knees shake?  I was in the middle of reading your book "Come November" that I got for Christmas this year when these pics first popped up and that is the first thing I thought about.  He'd make me shake so bad I'd probably drop my bow.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.
