Gene Wensel's story in TBM

[Pat B.]

I got my latest issue of TBM last week and like always enjoyed it, all of it.  

Getting just a tad long in the tooth myself, Gene's article hit close to home. Just wanted to say it was nicely written. You fellas who are a bit younger take note and enjoy each day in the woods as if it might be the last.  Wonderful article Gene.

[Dave Lay]

no doubt... a great article kinda hits close to home...

It was a great story, Pat were you the model for the pencil drawing......lol!

The issue was great.  Genes article was close to home. The older I get the slower I move and that has ment more meat in the freezer.

Best part of the article was talking about how when he was young he stood up on stand until he got tired.  Now, he sits down until his butt gets tired and he needs to stand up to loosen up.  Man, I can relate to that.  HA!

Soon after I hit 40, I had to replace the seats on all of my Screaming Eagle stands with the "large" seat!

a friend of mine once told me "he was getting so old what he use to do all night now takes him all night to do!"

I need to subscribe to that magazine. My dad use to get It and loved It.

Live in Il, have not seen my issue yet. Wonder why they are so slow to reach our area?

Very warm and well written indeed; really hit home for me at 45 years old.

Hope to have more articles in the future by Mr. Wensel!

I really liked the article, but I've got a little while before I get there  :D .

I just handed my dad the magazine opened to that article and said
"Read it....you can relate huh?"

I'm another old phart, and this article says a lot of what I feel. I still love to hunt elk, but God help me if I kill one and have to pack it out like I did years ago. Whitetails and turkeys are much lighter, and almost as much fun to hunt. My days of putting in for sheep tags are over; those mountains just keep getting steeper and taller.

I ain't quite that "eld" yet, but I'm getting there.   :D    Thoroughly enjoyed Gene's piece, can't think of any article or video the Wensel boys have done that I didn't.  Love how they can deliver any message imaginable touched with a bit of humor.

y & large I enjoy the magazine, but...

On the other hand, David Peterson's closing piece bit of criticizing everybody & everything who doesn't subscribe to his beliefs of "Trad" or who,(God forbid) uses any modern device in the pursuit of game, is getting old.

That elitist bit is what keeps many from even trying Trad.  The guy is like Brother Theodore (The Existential Stand Up Comic) with a longbow...

Every article Gene writes is great. I'm 30, so I can't completely relate, but still enjoyed the article.  I also really liked the article "Trail Camera Connection" that appeared in the recent P.B.S. magazine.
