Met the Wensel brothers today...
« on: August 19, 2007, 07:49:00 PM »
Look who my daughter & I ran into today...

   

My daughter, Jadyn (3), has loved watching the "Primal Dreams" DVD since it first came out and learned to name all the game animals when they appear as she grew up. She was a little shy around them today but as soon as we got home she went and got their DVD and asked me to put it in the player so she could show Momma who she'd met.

Thanks for taking the pic with us, guys.

Barry, I hope the knee is not serious and your back on your feet soon.

Good looking out TX!

I hope I can go to their whitetail boot camp next year.

Take care of that knee Barry!

Best wishes,
Charlie

Wow that's awsome! Where were you at? I'm with you buckeye, I'd love to go to the bootcamp in a year or two.

We were at the TTHA Extravaganza in Fort Worth, TX. The brothers had a booth there to promote their hunts and videos.

They like to stand next to me whenever I run into 'em amd have pics taken. I guess it's because I make them both look smaller.  :bigsmyl:

You daughters smile is just too precious. A memory she'll keep for a long time.

I guess Gene is a serious deer hunter, looks like he grew quite a non-typical rack. HA HA.

That's great. They're supposed to be down there finding us a place to hunt and they're out there promoting Primal dreams......

I've been in a few motels rooms with them both...Trust me, there's two of 'em. No one man can snore that loudly.

Joey/Jadyn: it's always nice to meet great folks like yourself. We had the pleasure of meeting several other Texas tradgangers last week and the week before. Our goal was to research some ranches for our '08 pig gigs. Although plans are not yet finalized we found some great potential properties. Things look outstanding. Regarding my whitetail bootcamps and some of you guys who hope to attend "in the next few years", I probably should mention this will be my sixth year of bootcamps and I frankly don't know how much longer I'll be doing them. I'm getting pretty high mileage and the young guys are running me into the ground. Although I won't be home for a couple more weeks all the info is listed at  www.brothersofthebow.com  and folks can email me and print out registration forms. By the way, the bootcamps now include one evening at brother Gene's home and trophy room (if he's around)so you can see there's actually two of us. We truly do enjoy sharing with like minded good people. Hope to see you down the trail. Thanks again. bw

Gene and Barry are two of my favorite guys. Even got to hunt with Gene once years ago. He put me in a killer stand. Had an 8 yard shot at this buck with a longbow and Snuffer. Went about 10 yards. Thanks Gene!

 

Barry, I saw your rough cuts last week. You looked great. Thanks again.

Denny , I can't tell if you have your pony-tail in that photo. Was that in Montana? You are right though, Gene and Barry have helped many people over the years. Rough cuts of Barry... you and Darryl better get going on it, people can't wait for MBB2.  Ha! :>)   Good luck this fall.
Mike
