Barry Wensel's Whitetail Bootcamp
« on: March 19, 2013, 09:27:00 AM »
Several years ago I did my whitetail sessions for six straight years. I had very favorable feedback plus very positive attendee success rates. I discontinued them for three years and have decided to start them up again on a trial basis this spring. I was completely sold out already. As usual in life's unknowns, I had three cancellations this morning for the March 28-29-30th session due to attendees health reasons. The deposits have already been paid so I'm going to offer those $200. deposit fees to anyone who would like to fill the slots. Please contact me via my regular email at: [email protected] if you are interested. Since the deposit has already been paid the balance for the bootcamp would be $695. for the entire three days. It includes lodging, all meals and the complete session in it's entirety. Due to circumstances this might be the last year I'll ever offer this opportunity so I wanted to make it available to any/all who have previously contacted me. Thanks. bw

One of the three slots is already gone and another I'm holding for a guy for 24 hours. So one and possibly two slots are still available. Thanks. bw

This is a great opportunity to experience whitetail bowhunting's first "personal trainer."
This may be your last chance. It's probably worth it for the entertainment value alone! Mike

I spent a day with Uncle B last fall and ended up changing out some camera cards and helping check some of his  stands.  You Bootcampers are making a very good decision.  I can't tell you how many times that day I made mental notes.  The things Barry does routinely with regard to the woods and whitetails left me in amazement.

Ohhhhh.... the anticipation, I fly out one week from tomorrow; been looking forward to this for years
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

See, that is the kind of attention to detail I am talking about...he knew decades ago that would come in handy!

Yes Barry I saw that, and had a nice note to go along with it all typed out, but decided to delete it. But since you brought it up, it ends with ".... And the Horse You Rode in On!"  Ha!

-Cost to attend Barry's whitetail bootcamp, $895.00
-Price of fuel from my house to South Central Iowa and back, Approximately $75.00
-investment of time, 3 days
-Time spent with Uncle Barry, both in and out of the woods, Priceless!!!!!

As for you guys/gals that are scheduled to go in the next few weeks, go ahead and get excited about it. You will have a great time.  The facility is top-notch, the country is impressive, you'll meet some great guys that share your passion for hunting whitetails, Barry is an excellent teacher and an accommodating host, and Barry's lovely wife Susan will make you feel right at home and your belt will definitely feel a little tighter at the end of your stay.

Thank You Barry and Susan, I had a wonderful time.

I had an excellent time and I DID learn a few things. It's the subtle details that all add up in whitetail hunting. Got to meet some great guys as Well. By the way Susan is a real gem too. I guess you'd have to be to put up with Barry!  Anyway she cooked some great meals for 15 guys and did it well. I told my wife that Susan did all that by herself and she couldn't believe that. I think Susan outta have her own bootcamp for hunters' wives!
