How is Gene and Barry?

[Covey]

Just wondering how they are doing and how the season is going for them. Been reading and watching these guys for a lot of years. Never met them personally, but I fell like I know em. Hope all is well fellas!
Thanks

[FBB]

Was wondering the same thing.

They are busy doing their thing. Barry said they've been hunting everyday. I like to hear that.

[TradBrewSC]

Good to hear.

[Ron LaClair]

Those guys will be hunting for a long time yet

Gene shot a doe last week.  Haven't heard any reports of Barry getting on the scoreboard yet.  Gene helped me drag out a buck that I shot the first weekend of the season.  He is doing well considering his surgery earlier in the year.

[Covey]

Good to hear! I appreciate the older guys that made traditional bowhunting what it is...something to be proud of!
Thanks for the report

Hope Gene and Barry are well and hunting hard!

Why doesn't it surprise me, Kenny, that Ron would somehow have inside information o n that???

Happy belated, Ken!

Thanks Doc, that was almost 8 years back tho....  :D

JohnV- That is impressive Gene is dragging out deer after his surgery. Have you posted any photos of your buck?

[Gene Wensel]

I'm still at it. I feel great. Back to shooting my hunting weight bows and I'm still pure hell at 20 feet! I killed a nice doe the other day and passed up a really nice 7 1/2 year old 4x4 on opening day at 14 steps. Very tempting! Really big body but his rack is not the best in the neighborhood. I wish I had a second buck tag for Iowa but if I tag out early, I'm on the bench until almost Christmas. John's wife was filming us drag out his nice buck last weekend. I was going to fake "the Big One" and go down clutching my chest on video but I thought I had better not scare his new bride.

"still hell at 20' and thinking about faking "the Big One".
Appears all is well.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Congrats on Your Doe Gene.

Happy Birthday to you and your brother.

Glad to hear you're still yourself, big guy.

Took the afternoon off to try to catch up on paperwork (I'm having two more bootcamps in March,2016). It was pretty windy this afternoon anyway. I might have messed up this morning though. At 7:15 I had a really nice 5.5 yr. old 4x4 that was pushing 150 inches walk by. Broadside at 18 yds. from the ground. Big, mature body. My only excuse was it's still early and I'm too picky. I actually have one more tag than Gene but I'm really stingy with it and in fact have never filled it even in previous years. I know.. I know.. sometimes I'm a real idiot! Gene has pictures of the one he passed up on opening day and I have a picture taken in Sept. of the one from this morning but neither of us is smart enough to know how to do that stuff.
   Anyway, we are both feeling well and are very blessed in order to continue to live the lives we do. Thank you for the kind words and best of luck to all. BW

Is this the one you are talking about UB?

[MR BILL SHORTY]

   

[Barry Wensel]

Yes.. Steve-O that's him. Thanks. Funny he looked a little bigger this morning though. And his body has really filled out eating all those acorns since Sept., which should have made the rack look smaller. By the way, those dates are obviously off on the camera. Maybe he better not test me again. BW
