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.
:bigsmyl:
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 heard they were working on a bowhunting aerobics video?
I met Barry once.
I met Gene once.
I spoke to Barry once on the phone.
I have mailed a letter and recieved a letter from Barry.
I have emailed and recieved email from Gene.
But I have never seen these two guys at the same time at the same place.
I think it is a gimic. I think they are the same guy.........
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.
:biglaugh: That theres funny!! Biggie
Brent, :eek: Less your in the same room!!!
Here's a picture of Gene and myself last month in Africa with Gene's Impala, he was taking broken horn animals for Dries.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
nice guys met them both at kalamazoo show here in michigan this year and at comptons the past couple of years
Which ones Gene and which one is Barry???
Gene never looks to happy does he...
id love to meet them one day, some experience between them thats for sure.
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 (http://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
Denny, 10 years ago?, Uncle Gene still had color in his mustache! Probably more like 20 years if you ask me.
Marty, 1991 I think.
Mike, Thanks for your help. Barry part is cool. :)
Denny, nice buck. . nice beard, too. .You know, I thought about going to one of those Wensel huntin schools but based on the physiques of Gene, Barry, Biggie, and that guy Marty they hang with in Florida, I am just not sure they would feed you well enough. . so I skipped.
Denny, you look downright skinny in that photo! You were skin and bones before Marie fattened you up.... :>)
You forgot to tell them it was the first morning of our hunt too. It still bothers me that I intimidated your dad by watching over his shoulder when he shot his buck but he did great. I've never seen a buck go down like his. The deer peeled the entire skin of his lower jaw all the way back when he skidded on his chin in full flight! Good memories....what life is all about!
Barry,
how did the raw footage look from Quebec??
Anything going to end up in something...or did you miss the good stuff putting the camera in the vehicle, cause of rain???
Here's one Uncle Barry took 2 years (?) ago. His only complaint was now he was out of buck tags. Oh yeah, look at all the pants I had on that day!

Nice buck!
Biggie, Is that the Sika gear bibs you have on?
Here's a classic Wensel pose, Gene giving the "evil eye" and Barry looking like he's been startled from yet another nap :^)

Gene, That hunt was a blast. Dad and I have to get together again with you again. Let's get Barry in on it too. Let me know what you guys have going next year and we'll plan something.
We walked out of the bedroom the first morning and Gene was doing push-ups. He said "99, 100" as he pumped two out and jumped to his feet. Right
Later in the day he giged me with a tape in the truck that sounded like a commercial.

Dad's taxidermist was pleased when he saw this bucks chin was already caped out.
Hey Denny, when is the next edition in the "Masters" DVD series coming out? Is Barry demonstrating in the next one??
Hey Gary, Yes, Barry tells us how he gets it done and has some nice outtakes. Great stuff.
The Mitten brothers sent some great cut-away footage too. Thanks guys!
