[Killdeer]

I guess it was a good bust... they made the charges stick!

OK, no more jokes. Even though Kawika B said, "bum luck."

Might have been a case of mistaken identity.
Seriously, hope it just looks worse than it really is. lol

I'll bet it won't take long and Barry will find the humor in this event and a great story to tell. Ramblin' Rednecks Wrasslin' Hogs!

[reddogge]

Good luck Barry and hope the damage isn't too severe.

[Greg Szalewski]

Boy, that guy sure is a magnet for something unusual to happen. Best wishes Barry.

[Greg PBS]

I've backed into Prickly pear myself, and that alone in not fun. I remeber dropping trowe and using my Marbels to scrape my ass! It was a couple weeks before all the broke off spines made it out...

Barry hang in there buddy, and if that arm is broke I can only say my arm with 2 stainless plates was able to draw 62#s in 5 weeks killed a bear @ 7 weeks. You can do it if anyone can.

The more you hunt, the more unsual events, sightings and encounters are to be expected.
Several may be of the nature that few will believe.


Barry - My sympathy and hope for a quick and full recovery goes out to you.

[Wary Buck]

I got the abridged story today from Gene...and for some reason the old DVD/video footage of Barry chasing after that armadillo kept bouncing through my head.  I thought he displayed some nimble feet in that footage; I would've expected the same here.  (What DVD was that?)

Hope UB gets better soon--and that the arm isn't broken--and can laugh while telling the stories (cause there are TWO of 'em).

[Bowmag]

Barry, if that's the kind of hogs you attract I feel most lucky after you let me hunt your bait sight at Spikebox. Glad those hogs didn't think I was you. By the way I never found the piggie I hit that night. Hope you heal quickly.

[kongo]

Well , that's the risk one runs when hunting . Sometimes the hunted become the hunter . The element of danger is what make it worthwhile .

[bayoulongbowman]

did you say barry got 55 gallon of prickly pear on his backside, man gosh dog dat got ta hurt some bad ya!!!!

[Gary Logsdon]

Barry told me that he slammed a few arrows into the troublemaking tuskers before one put him on the ground and the other up a tree, if you can call what he had access to a "tree".  One took an arrow through the carotid artery and through the top of the heart while the other caught a self-defense shot square in the head.  He kept describing the "little bouquets of small needles", you know, the ones that grow on the upper edges of prickly pear?  I think he took a huge hit of those on the hands and elsewhere. . . that will affect your shooting!

Welcome to Texas, brothers......there's a lot of mojo out on Lambshead. I've felt it every time I go there. That ranch has presences going way back. The family and cowboys allude to it. I don't think it's negative, but it is there. A Blanton family member vividly recalled to me a very large boar charging him out of a ravine along the river. I personally saw a boar that I thought was a black calf on the west side of the Lookout.


Speedy recovery to Mr. Wensel.

thre wasaguy over near redding was on aranch poaching hogs well he made abad shot and the hog tunrned on him the hog knocked him down and hurt him bad it let him alone he cried for help and the pig came back and cut himmon back of his legs someone got to him and i beleive it took him awhile to recover the boars 250 lb ers can get some real adrenalin going you know it would be safer with apistol yeh i know its not  bowhunting if you have agun

[jonsimoneau]

I hope uncle Barry is O.k.  I swear...things just seem to happen to that guy!  He's got alot of good stories!

[Guru]

Dang it! I wish Uncle B the best...he's a tough old dog though    

[cacciatore]

Barry this is something else to remember and a good story to tell.Good luck and wish you a fast healing.

[killinstuff]

Next time B, don't run. As soon as that pig bites and sees how old, tough and tasteless you are, it will spit you out and go on his way. Beats having a broke arm.

Take care and get well soon,

CJ

How 'bout we let Uncle B tell his story?  

Always best to hear it "right from the horses mouth"  

[Tom Phillips]

Uncle "B" sometimes its a tough job guiding Hog hunters,but someone has to do it !! You take a licking & keep on ticking thats for sure.I hope you get healed up quick cause you have another Ring to jump into in Quebec where there is another AWNERY 4 legged Black critter waitin to square up with there as well !!
