I’ve always loved this saying from Gene Wenzel

[Darren]

Ever since I saw the first Primal Dreams video I fell in love with this saying from Gene Wenzel. I’m a full time Taxidermist, outfitter, guide and a passionate tradition l bowhunter for the past 30 years and this saying means the world to me. I’m getting older and more sore and all I have is my life long memories of my many adventures.

[Cory Mattson]

I have a lifetime of Gene quotes but one of my favorite is

“Eating red meat is absolutely normal”

“The best thing about hunting and fishing, is that you don’t have to actually do it to enjoy it. You can go to bed every night thinking about how much fun you had 20 years ago, and it all comes back clear as moonlight”
Robert Ruark

Memories do last longer than most hunts.

“Happiness is victory. Think about that some day, and do something about it.” Gene Wensel
Doesn’t leave much room for whining, does it?

[Roger Norris]

"Quit wondering why the deer are always "over there". Just go hang your stand there"

Gene Wensel.....something that pops in my head almost every hunt, although probably not tattoo worthy

So true. Jawge

Ramblin Rednecks cassette was a hoot!!!

I'm going to see if they have it in a new format.

Fantastic saying that I think strikes a chord with us all. I know some day I will slow down or not be able to do it at all. But I am getting close to starting a whole new adventure; enjoying it with my kids. Then someday I will pass the torch and smile about the memories they are making too.

Terry , I used to have that cassette, was wondering the other day what happened to it. I can’t open a pasture gate without remembering Gene talking about the guy closing the gate and then climbing over it. Let us know what you find.

[Terry Green]

I don't see anything on there site... and I have no idea where that cassette is either.  Those stories were HYSTERICAL!!!

[Barry Wensel]

A couple of my favorite Gene Wenzel quotes:
" I usually try to hold out for fully mature 5.5-year-old or better bucks. But when you turn seventy years old it's okay to shoot 4.5-year-old bucks because otherwise they might outlive you."   
"When I was young, I'd stand in my treestand until my feet got sore, then I'd sit down. Now that I'm old I sit in my treestand until my buttocks get sore.. then I stand up." 

[Guss]

I can relate to that second quote.

[Darren]

Well I definitely know who the comedian brother is …. Lol. Working some of the sport shows down south when the Wenzel Brothers were there was always a treat because they were so flipping entertaining.. lol The outfitter I worked for at the time always made sure to tell me my Dads were here 😂

[JohnV]

You would like to think that by now people would know how to properly spell Gene and Barry’s last name!

[Gene Wensel]

Unquote "John Cargo." (John, as in toilet?)
   I can't take credit for that opening line of Primal Dreams. I think the late/great Dean Torges fine-tuned that one for us. He was the wordsmith.
   A couple quotes from Dad:  "If you can't tie good knots, tie lots of them...."      "There are only three types of people in this world....those who can count and those who can't."

Papou, The Dean, of eternal memory, would know who that is, had a few sayings. My dad did too. May their memory be eternal.

That is true about hunting. I can't hunt much but dream of it often.

Quite a few years ago at Comptons I was carrying a ten pt rack to get scored and I was walking by Barry's booth when he says mines bigger than yours. It was!
