Barry Wensel's Whitetail Bootcamp
« on: January 03, 2013, 12:13:00 PM »
Several years ago I conducted what I called "Bootcamps". Now I see all sorts of various bootcamps on TV. For six straight years I am proud to say I sold out to capacity. The very popular sessions included literally hundreds of satisfied attendees. As I previously stated, you can read the books, watch the videos, go to the seminars and that's all fine BUT when someone takes you by the hand and walks you through the practical applications on how it's done THAT'S where it really sinks in. Probably not the best analogy, but watching war movies and/or reading books on war is nothing like actually being there. My whitetail bootcamps are three day sessions that condense a lifetime of hunting experience into one long weekend. I take you by the hand and walk you around my own personal hunting grounds. I show you my own treestand set-ups and explain how, why, where and when I hunt each of them. I "spill my guts" and point out the minute details of woodsmanship many people apparently overlook. This year I will be holding bootcamps on March 21-22-23, 2013 and March 28-29-30, 2013 in Decatur County, Iowa. Openings will be limited. The prices vary from single rates, to youth rates and/or hunting partner rates. If anyone is interested please email your postal mailing address to [email protected] and I'll send you all the details. Thanks and Happy New Year to all. BW

Barry, this is so cool. Except the part about you taking me by the hand. That scares me a little. :-)
Seriously, Barry (and Gene) are the bona fide (Barry, that means real deal) best there is in Whitetails. I have enjoyed every hunt I've been on with them for pigs and such, and if I were to hunt a whitetail, I would go with Barry! As long as he doesn't try to touch my hand. Best, Jay Campbell
The how and why of hunting is more important than the what, or the where, or with whom. In hunting - as in life - the joy is in the journey.

This sounds very interesting, I sent you my contact info by email.  What better way to continue my white tail education from other than the great Uncle Barry?

This is a great Deal..my brother and I went a few years back and the things Barry shows and explains to ya, plus the chance to ask questions is well worth the time and $$..it would prolly cost ya what a weekend Vacation would..I highly recommend it.

Barry,my buddy 'tdog' and I attended your April '08 bootcamp,I was the nut with the camcorder, and have always been glad we did.Might just be coincidence but since then I've taken my 2 best bucks ever with the bow,or any weapon for that matter,and tdog has done well also.
Thanks again for the lesson and it's good to hear you're putting on the bootcamps again.

I can't think of a better investment in my white-tail hunting future. Sent my mailing address.

Thanks Barry for the opportunity, Trap

It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

What an incredible opportunity.
That might be the time I go under the knife for a new hip, but this would be a reason for me to get a new passport. Good time of year for me normally, so maybe next time?
