Okay, here's the deal. Gene's new book is titled "Buckskin and Bone" with a subtitle of "Postgraduate Whitetails". My own new book will be titled "Once Upon a Tine". I'm looking for suggestions for a subtitle. The book is basically adventure stories compiled over fifty years of fanatic bowhunting. Over the years I've been charged by a cougar and had to shoot my way out; treed by grizz; had more than my share of hairy experiences with multiple close bear encounters/false charges; confrontations with world-class whitetails, elk, etc. etc. Since these will be presented in campfire-type story telling I was looking for an appropriate subtitle. As I said, all chapters are true hunting yarns, but if you read between the lines I think most readers will learn some philosophy and my personal hunting techniques. Campfire Memories and Campfire Reflections have already been used. The subtitle needs to be maybe six words or less. Whoever would like to take a shot at it is welcome to. I'll need this within the next few days. Whichever subtitle I choose will win one of the Limited Edition, personally signed, numbered and embossed copies of my new book. Have fun and thanks. BW

"WOW!! THAT COULD HAVE LEFT A MARK"
As I said, you guys have blown me away. I honestly thought I'd get a dozen or two responses. I haven't counted them up but I now know there are hundreds and hundreds of you guys who are just as mentally unstable as myself. It makes me proud. There are so many good suggestions I can't come to a decision. So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm going to list a dozen or so of my favorites and run them by my "board of directors" for a vote. Whichever one gets the most votes amongst my "peers" will win. I'm also going to cover up the name of the poster so no one picks their friends suggestion. I have to admit some of these subtitles I'd really love to use but can't for obvious reasons. Hopefully someday the book will be sitting on the back of the toilet and I'd hate to taint the young mind of some child (again?). I actually thought about including all these subtitles into another chapter so you'uns would have to buy the book just to see your name in print. It's really a brilliant marketing strategy on my part, but I'm just overloaded and don't have time to do it. Thank you all for your words of wisdom. I'll post the winner after the votes are tabulated. This has been fun. BW

UPDATE: The subtitle favorites are in a four-way tie. Another vote is going out for "board" voting today. I'll have a winner by tomorrow hopefully. Thanks for all your input and patience. BW
Doe's this mean we can finally put our minds to rest and get some sleep?
Thanks for the shot that you've given us all here Barry. We'd all love to have "our" sub title on your book. That and times are tough right now, you're going to save someone some cash by giving them a book, the rest of us are all going to be forking out cash for it!!!
Yes Barry like Mike said and We appreciate you letting us play the game...God Bless with the book...Keefer's <")))><

"Once apon a Tine....50 years of being in the right spot at the right time"
We have a WINNER!!! After all the tabulations and heated discussions the votes were counted. I initially intended to have an original Andrew Warrington drawing of my biggest buck on the book cover. Because the book will be about hunting and not necessarily me, I didn't want to put my mug on the cover. The general concensus of opinion is many folks associate me with my crooked hat, even though I've not strictly worn it the last several years. I personally thought it was somewhat egotistical to put myself on the cover, but the "board" opinion is the crooked hat symbolizes pure Barry Wensel. Therefore, I'm using a 1985 photo of myself and my crooked hat for the cover. The title, "Once Upon A Tine" will be subtitled, "The Crooked Hat Chronicles". The winner is Kevin Winkler, Monroe, Wisc. He'll be awarded the #3 book out of the 100 Limited Edition copies. Kevin.. you need to forward me your contact info. I'd like to thank everyone for the thought you all put into this. I really appreciate your time and efforts. It was fun. Crooked hats off to you all! Thanks. BW
Congrats Kevin. Some entertaining answers on here.
:thumbsup:
I think that is an EXCELLENT choice UB.
That must be a picture of you staring majestically into the distance deep in thought about your next move...
Wish we had one of those mooning gremlins like the PBS board does :p .
Your avatar of the bear hug is a good one too.
That avatar is not a bear hug. It's a UFC wrestling move called the "near naked choke". If you don't keep away from his claws you'll be near naked. bw
Congratulations Kevin! Good luck with the book Barry.
That will be a great title! Barry, how could you think of not including your crooked hat? It's your trademark? You know...so the deer think you are looking the other way!!!
My new wife and I were watching brothers of the bow a few days ago. I can't grow a full beard, but I told her that if I could, I would have one just like yours Barry. She told me that would be fine by her, because she thought you were "cute"! Barry Wensel.....big buck killer....lady killer!
Jon: She told me the same thing! :^) UB
HAAA HAAA!!! I don't doubt that Barry! Keep on doing what you do!!

Great choice for subtitle !!!
If the book is half as much fun to read as this thread was, I may have to chase the moths out of my wallet and find my credit card. :D
Congrats on finding (one of the) perfect subtitle(s)! Good one, Kevin!

Barry,
Keep us posted as to when the book will be available and where and hoping for tales from another fifty years. All the best to you and yours, Joe
