Wondering if anyone knew where, besides the 'bay, I could get my hands on a reasonably priced copy of this book? The only one I found so far had a hefty price tag of $95.00.

Thanks.

What is a fair price? I Think I have it in paperback

Can't believe it. This is one I actually have never heard of. Good luck in your search. Their books do go way up in value when out of print.

The bookmark is worth the cost! One of Barry's better ideas!

Why's that? I'm not familiar with this book at all!

It's the official Redneck manual. Alot of the stuff was published in the P.B.S. magazine a
long time ago. I miss those articles alot. As far as the bookmark goes, it kinda summed up the attitude of the whole book.      

The book is a collection of popular columns they wrote for the Professional Bowhunters Society magazine under the masthead of "Ramblin Rednecks".  The columns could best be described and rambling redneck humor.  Some of the column topics are hunting-related while some are not.  This is not a good book for anyone who considers themself to be politically correct.

 Now that sounds like a Wenzel treasure right there...PC? Wenzels? Heheheheheeee

Sounds like $95 might be a steal!

Had it since it first came out....  

...And The Horse You Rode In ON

Many of them were autographed and personalized with, "To Whom It May Concern- Up Yours! Gene and Barry 8/24/92

Had my copy out a couple weeks ago - and read through it again.  Always good for a few chuckles . . .

I've always been a bit perplexed at how two guys raised in Vermont could see themselves as rednecks, which is commonly defined as poor rural Southern whites (look it up). Gene likes to make fun of guys from my neck of the woods, saying that they "can't do the snort wheeze because their front teeth are missing."  Of course both twins do bear an uncanny resemblance to Kentuckian Ned Beatty . . . makeby they can confirm their good ols boy status by landing a role in the sequel to Deliverance:^)

Sorry about the typo. it's "maybe", not "makeby".  Weuns have trouble with uus spelin down hea

You guys are bringing back some great memories. One of which hardly anyone knows about. A couple years after Gene and I wrote "... And The Horse You Rode In On" I got a call from my attorney telling me there was a book being written by James Carville about "The People VS. Kenneth Starr", The Clinton administration inquisition, impeachment hearings, etc. Apparently they wanted to originally title the book the same as ours but couldn't because we already had a copyright on that title. So they ended up with the title "And The Horse He rode In On". I had to laugh when my attorney said, "if they use your title.. we got 'em". Ha. And all along Gene and I easily could have been bought off. Now you know the rest of the story. BW

That's funny Barry.

Still have the book mark for mine also. Is a great read.

Gary,

You and I BOTH know "Redneck" is more a state of mind than birth geography. I've met rednecks who have never even heard of cornbread and wouldn't know what to do with a sow-belly to save their lives.

I've even met rednecks from other countries.

I loaned my copy to a friend many years ago and he never returned it. He said he did not remember me loaning it to him so I suppose it is gone forever.

Keith, I noticed you're quote: "...'Cause a country-boy can survive." - HWJr.  I've known Bocephus for over 25 years and have spent a good amount of time on his silver eagle tour bus, at sounds checks, and on stage photographing his shows.  That probably gives me a enough field experience to pen a copy of REDNECK 101.  Did you know that Gene once lived close to Hank in Montana?  Kinda makes you wonder who influenced who???  Picture Gene and Barry with their t-shirts soaked with beer swaying to the beat of "Buck Naked" (That's an actual song title moderators:^)) On second thought, try NOT to picture that!

NICE PICTURE GARY WITH YOU AND HANK
LOANED MY COPY TO A FRIEND IT'S GONE

Hank Jr. had a home a cross the field from me when I lived in Montana. When he first moved into the "neighborhood" I was in the yard shooting my bow when a fancy Mercedes four wheel drive with dark tinted windows pulled up. I walked over while the tinted windows went down. It was Hank. He said, "You're Gene Wensel, aren't you?" I answered, "Ya...who are you?" Ha! He used to come into my office once in a while. Actually we really blew it while we were filming our old "Spirit of the Bow" DVD. While we were shooting the tiny saccharin tablets out of the air, he happened to come by. I should have asked him to throw pills for us. Never thought of it. Rednecks are all over the world Gary.....
By the way, the final printing of the infamous bookmark was scheduled to be done in scratch and sniff....
