Gene and Barry
« on: November 07, 2019, 10:26:20 AM »
I hope these two are out kicking butt.... They've been my heroes since my twenties..... I use to watch Barry before every opening season in the videos Oct 1, Oct 2, High Noon Bucks ...got me reved up....

 Then in  2003 when we started Tradgang they showed up....and it floored me.  My heros were posting on my site!!!

I sure hope they are out hunting as usual this time of year.....and hope they post soon!!!!

I’ll agree w that. I’ve watched those videos as they are still my favorites. Best part is their mannerisms.
I met them years back at Harrisburg I believe. Forgive me for being foggy on that. Some medical issues cause missing parts in my memory but what I remember I remember clearly.
Now I’m not a big celebrity guy but my buddy wanted to wait on line to meet em.
I walked up started w Barry telling him he looked much better on video. Of course a joke but he fired right back. We went tit for tat a bit. He was quick and personable. Not many big shots I’d share a camp with. The Wensel’s being def exceptions to that. I bet I’d even stay up late to listen.
Many things they say even when not actually trying to teach offer words of wisdom. Hope they’re both having a great seasons and hope you all are as well

Barry has been my hero since "Bowhunting October Whitetails". Especially that ending shot on a running deer... :o
Great to know we can read their words of wisdom here on TG.

I remember back in the early 70’s when Bowhunter magazine started. It wasn’t available in Canada ,so I use to drive across the border to get it. Gene and Barry had some excellent hunting stories in there ,along with Fred Asbell ,true pioneers for Trad bow hunting.

My wife and I were there....I auctioned off an item.

I actually meet them at cloverdale 03.....shipped them a rock a few years later with a Wensel Woodsman buried in it.

And got Gene's book from him before sanatonio in Pitt.

My bet is that Barry is out tending his trolling sticks/ropes and waiting for the big bucks:

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

I'm with you Terry.  I admired Fred Bear a lot, but when I got that first VHS tape of Bowhunting October Whitetails, I fell in love with them! Great woodsmen and hunters!
