Hope he heals quickly, also hope he kept the camera rolling. Can you imagine a sequel to Essential Encounters featuring Barry in a Yodel-off with a Hog?

Barry's a tough ol bird sure he will be alright
take more than a bad wing and sore butt to slow him down.

I'm sorry to hear this, and hope Barry heals up fast, and is still able to continue doing the things he loves..ie" bowhunting, and putting on great hunts for others to enjoy.

I have been hurt many times and know how much it can hurt..

I am not sure I can see anything funny about pain and a broken arm.      

Gene

Prayers for a speedy recovery Barry.  Those pigs can be nasty!

OUCH!

Hope the heal-up goes VERY well, Barry.

Have I heard that duct tape works well for cactus spine removal?  Get well soon.

You got cactus spines where and want who to pull them out.  Dang man in a month they'll work out on their own.. . .LOL

Mom always told me, "What goes around, comes around." Maybe the pigs are getting back a little. No one has said, did he go to the hospital and have it checked, or what?

Good luck to you Barry, I really hope you can get that shoulder/arm to heal.

Hope he's okay.Best wishes to a full and speedy recovery Barry.

I just got off the phone with Uncle Barry; he and Gene are in the truck heading for home near Topeka Kansas.  Barry quickly told me the whole story while he had enough cell battery.  It's a long story, too lengthy to write about right now. Suffice it to say that he appears to be in pretty good spirits considering what happened.  He does have a heck of a swollen arm and discolored hand that he's trying to nurse until they can get back and receive proper care . . . . also far too many embedded cactus spines to count. Not sure about the break but he thinks that his arm may indeed be broken.  It's the same arm that he injured several years back, the side where he was more or less pieced back together with steel pins.  He added, "I've been doing this for 27 years and have never had a hogs charge me like this . . . would have made a heck of a video!"  He actually had two hogs take issue with him on two separate outings and ,according to his description, he not only had to use his bow as an arrow launcher while defending himself, but also had to turn it into a hog thumping stick just to keep them off. I'm sure that someone will relate the whole story at some point but for now I just want everyone to know that they seem to have a handle on the situation and are steaming for home.

Forget to add one thing:  THE PIGS WERE PROPERLY PUNISHED FOR THEIR MISDEEDS!

I hope his arm ain`t broke!!!

Sounds bad?  I'll have to give em some static at the deer and turkey show coming up.  Wish UB all the best.

Good luck to Barry. Hope you heal quickly. Man! Barry and Gene are my biggest influences for going traditional they just make it look like so much fun. And they were right!

That doesn't sound good at all. We'll wish for the best and won't start laughing until he tells us.

I am sure in the end Barry will get even!! Hope all is well and get taken care of! Shawn

I reckon he won't want to "sit" for any book signings any time soon!

Had to say it! Can't wait for the story or video.

Best wishes to a quick recovery!

Sorry to hear about your wrestling match with a pair of ornery oinkers. Sounds like they were out to settle a score, for all their kin you layed to rest. They must have got you from behind, before you had a chance to stick'm with one of your razor sharp Woodsman. That is definitely not a pretty picture.    

That definitely proves that two in bush are worth more than one in hand.

Hope the doc takes good care of you and you get well soon.

OUCH!!!  Get that arm taken care of.

wow....hope all is well...didnt he just break an arm in accident not long ago too he mentioned in Masters of Barebow 2?  Hope it is not same one and same place....
