Title: Brothers of the Bow
Post by: Sean B on August 24, 2025, 07:20:34 AM
I spent quite a bit of time talking to Gene and Barry over the years to know that these two are really in it for the love of  it all.  The first time I really spent time talking to Barry, I showed him a bunch of pictures of bucks that my grandfather killed in the '30s and 40's. I remember him saying "Man i love this stuff", and you could definitely see his passion. Last year i bowhunted South Africa, Gene heard about it and called me before i left to make sure i knew what i was getting into and to give me a few tips on, not only the hunt but how to navigate the airports and stuff like that. Im proud to call them both friends and i was left with a little bit of a lump in my throat. Enjoy!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kugga1OXdns&pp=ygUJYXNpbyBnZWFy0gcJCRsBo7VqN5tD

Great video!  A nice tribute to these two fine fellas and quite a tribute to the whitetail deer as well.  I'd tip my hat to Gene and Barry but more appropriately, I'll just turn it sideways.

Imo the best part of this whole video and perhaps the part the resonated the most with me... The Wensels are legends, they've done so much yet Barry talks about guys thanking him. He's says that's great but he hopes that guy passes down. That to me is brotherhood outside blood. Awesome point he brought up
