Barry and I have been putting the finishing touches on two brand new hard cover books that are about ready to be sent off to the printers. Both will be hot off the press in October. Pre-publication orders are being taken starting today at reduced rates.
  "Once Upon a Tine" by Barry Wensel has approximately two dozen chapters of true tales from over fifty years of bowhunting experience, told only like Barry tells stories.
Pre-publication special $25 plus $7 S&H.

  "Buckskin and Bone" Postgraduate Whitetails by Gene Wensel. 23 chapters of unexploited material on how, when, where and why to hunt big whitetails. Pre-publication price $25 plus $7 S&H

   We will also be offering 100 personalized, signed, serial numbered, embossed Limited Editions of each book available for $50 plus $7 S&H

um...I'd like one of each in the fancy, limited type  :thumbsup:   Does this mean I get #1   :D  ?    If not, I'll wait untill they are  almost gone.

These are going to be GREAT!

I got a new computer today and apparently hit a wrong button before I was finished. Sorry about that! Special pre-publication price of $25 each plus S&H has to be postmarked by October 1, 2009! Both titles will NOT be shipped at the same time or from the same address since released dates will not be exactly the same. Sorry, no combined shipping or prices for both. These new books will NOT be available on  www.brothersofthebow.com (http://www.brothersofthebow.com)  website until after October 1, 2009. Until then, order each from each author by postal mail directly to:
 Gene Wensel
 P.O. Box 234
 Libertyville, Iowa 52567

 Barry Wensel
 22730  210th Street
 Keosauqua, Iowa 52565

Visa/MasterCard accepted. Thank you for your interest. We feel confident you will be very pleased with what you get! Loads of unpublished pictures too!

Steve, you can have number 001 of mine. I have you recorded. Thanks buddy!

Awesome! Sounds like that'll be just in time for my "Come November" birthday present  :)  Will have to hint to the wife.

Payment on the way   :thumbsup:

QuoteI got a new computer today

Thank you sweet Lord!   :saywhat:  

Seriously...you guys are going to want to get these books  FAST .  Gene is nutorious for printing too few and only printing them ONCE.  Try to buy a copy of "Hunting Rutting Whitetails" nowadays.

I've been able to read quite a few of the chapters "in process" and both Gene and Barry are letting out a lot of their closely guarded/finely honed techniques.

Checks will be in the mail tomorrow....can't wait.

I swear !! I think those two could sell ice cubes to the Eskimos

...Or flashlights to Ray Charles! :>)
I have not seen any of Barry's book, but if its anything like his LIVE story telling, it will be great.
I have read much of Gene's book although he did hold out  a few chapters on me! Ha! I't classic Gene!  Mike

How come nobody ever tells me anything about this stuff???

I have no doubt these will be two of the best books ever written as far as hunting literature goes.  For sure they are going to be classics written by a couple of "firestarters" in our sport.

All right....you talked me into buying them but I want SteveO's copies!  ;)

Steve O's copies might smell funny.....
If anyone wants any special serial numbers of the Limited editions, now is the time to make your request. I have less than a dozen Number One's (001) left! Ha!

I'm looking forward to these new books.  Put me down for a couple limited editions.

Checks in the mail and on there way..This should be good..

PM sent Gene...

Put me down for one of each of the limited editions. Checks will be on the way once I get home tomorrow.

Please include me in for one of each of the limited editions.  I'll get checks in the mail when I get home from work this afternoon.

Please add my name for both of the limited edition books. We will forward the money soon. Dad and I hope to see you at the Pig Gig!

Put me down for Gene's book, plain jane version. Check in the mail after work.

Check is in the mail, for both books...

Thanks Gene & Barry, I needed a couple of new reads and I know whatever you do will be excellent!

Check is in Mail for a limited copy of Barry's Book.  #71 (my age) if available.

Bob Miller

Look for my order Gene, its coming. I knew about Barry's book but not your latest. Look forward to reading both and seeing you in Tejas....Grant

Matt

Jamie

Garrett Feik

If we buy one book from one brother and not the other....would that affect my flashlight price?

One each of the limited editions for me.

I Want A Copy Of Uncle Barry's Book Too! Just wish I knew how to read....   :rolleyes:  

* Check going out today * Or should I say Wednesday * Maybe a Postal Money Order is better * Do you fellas take food stamps for payment? *

... mike ...

One each of limited editions for me.  Done!

Mark

I would like one each of the limited editions.Please. Thank You. Is there any way to only write one check? Or are two necessary to keep the books straight?

Hey Michael, Gene's book is Gene's and Barry's book is Barry's. I just sent separate checks to their respective addresses.

You'd think twins would share....

Put me down for limited edition.

Biggie. You need to come fishing. Have you checked out the 2009 St. Judes fishing thread?  http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=076694

Gene,

Please put me down for a limited edition copy of each book.

Thanks,

Bryan

Gene the money will be on the way tomorrow to both of you.  Looking forward to them!

PM'd ya Gene.

Gene and Barry....me too, please....one copy of each and $$$$ on it's way tommorrow. Thanx - Mark Baker

Gene and Barry,

Put me down for a copy of a limited edition of each as well.  The check will be mailed tomorrow. Any number is OK, but I would love to have as early a numbers I can get my hands on.

Just a quick message from some of your guy's old stomping grounds around Libby, Montana. Thanks for all you do for this great passion we share.  The stories of you, Barry, Paul, and a few others still whistle through the smoke of our campfires in September, October, and November.  Thanks again,

Treeghost

sign me up for the limited edition books and I would like you guys to address them to my son (Tanner) I'll leave a note with the check. (one of each)

Also,  If a guy can pick a # in the limited editions and the first is taken I'll take the last in both books

thanks, brian roness

Sent money for both.

You guys have created mass confusion around here! I think they call it "bedlam." Please do not send Private Messages or emails that simply say "Put me down for one." or "Put me down for both."
  These are two different books, written by two different fat guys, shipped from two different mailing addresses. They could be released weeks apart. Also there are Limited Editions and regular editions involved for each. They will not be available from the brothersofthebow.com website until after October 1st. You can't send just one check for both books until after they are listed on the website. We can't do PayPal until after October 1st. We don't take American Express or Discover cards, only Visa or Master Card. Don't send cash.
The simplist way to order is just to send check, money order or Visa/MC orders for Barry's book to:
Barry Wensel
22730 210th Street
Keosauqua, Iowa 52565
$25 plus $7 S&H (total of $32) for regular edition OR $50 + $7 ($57 total) for Limited Edition.

For Gene's books, the prices are exactly the same, but ship those orders to:
Gene Wensel
P. O. Box 234
Libertyville, Iowa 52567

Thanks guys! I know you'll be pleased. If you know you'll order one sooner or later, you may as well save a few bucks by ordering now. :>)

I'm sorry I thought Gene and Barry wrote these books.....Not Biggie and Marty.

I sent both checks to the individual addresses today. Am looking forward to the books. Michael

You're a good man Michael! Thanks. Biggie is still a heavy hitter but our buddy Marty is down to 220 pounds. Rumor has it he had a MAJOR bowel movement....

Gene, Barry

One each of the Limited Edition, #48 of each if possible. Two checks going out.

Thanks, Dennis

:biglaugh:

As if there wasn't mass confusion before you guys got us involved.  :biglaugh:

Is there a layaway option? Or maybe we could trade a couple of old books for one of your new books.

Super to read!!!

Checks going out tomorrow to the separate addresses, for books in the limited editions.

Thanks,
God Bless,
David B.

Michael, kill a couple hogs and you start throwing sticks and stones! I'm almost down to fighting weight!!!

Gene,

You mean we have to kick Marty OUT of the POOP and DUNG Club????

Gene, There is no confussion! Both fat guys will get a check in the mail.  It is on the way.

This fat guy sent checks to the two other fat guys today.
Jack

I'll give ya a call soon....I want one of each...and another flashlight.

Take care guys...

Will any of these books have recipes or art work or embrace the gay lifestyle?

Also can you drop my book off at Barrys next Sunday when you visit to save me on shipping?

Additionally Gene can you hold my check till Oct 1st ? Barry you can cash mine anytime.

Gene,

I just came back from the PO and your money orders are in the mail for two different books to two differnet addresses to two different Fat guys with identical last names.

Oh yeah if I can I would like the LE # 69 if possible, if not oh well.

Thanks

Andy

Andy, # 69 went VERY fast. No comment... How about 96? :>)
Joey, you are running out of steam. You're just still obviously very bitter that your kid flunked out of first grade.

Gene Wensel
Barry Wensel
Please put me down for each Limited Edition Copy , If all possible I would like to get #100 on each book.  I will put check in the mail to each address today. Thanks , look forward to beiing on your hunts thru reading your stories....Hink..  :archer:

Hink: #100 is already reserved for mine. Give us a couple or three choices on preferred numbers and we'll try to cover you. Gene and I are trying to coordinate matching numbers for guys who ask for them. Thanks. bw

Gene,

96 Works for me!!!

Awesome!!!

Andy

Andy #96 is reserved for you here too. Thanks. bw

Thanks guys I really do appreciate it.

Andy

Can I have #23 of each?  Check will be mailed immediately if available!

Put me down for a copy of each.  I don't care about numbers, just put me down.  

justin

I'd like one of each on the limiteds also.  Matching numbers sounds cool but any old number will do, just the same for both books please.

Any word on the decision for the subtitle?

I'll take any number so long the cover doesn't have a coffee ring or forward pages have bacon grease thumb print, you know the usual crap.

Kurt: #23 is already reserved on mine. Sorry. Got any other lucky numbers? Or.. I can send you the other guys email... maybe you're bigger than him. bw

#23 is already long gone on mine as well.

Hi Guy's , Will #46 work,or #99 or#52,if not these any matched numbers will be fine.....Hink.

Joey, the last book I got from Gene had cookie crumbs inside on page 6........but he didn't charge me any extra for them.

I sent out separate checks yesterday for limited edition copies...lowest numbers possible please.

Thanks guys,

Bryan

Barry, Gene.....just go ahead and surprise me, but I do want one of each, the number doesn't matter.  I like 23 because all 4 of my kids were born on the 23rd of different months....good juju!!

But please reserve me one from both of you and I will send payment this week!

Thanks,

Kurt

Barry, put me down for one. I'd take 29 if it's still open, if not just put my name on a number. I'll get a check out to ya.

Thanks Travis

Shouldn't this be on the sponsors section or something ? Mods ? I didn't realize the powwow was for marketing or selling items. Curious.

jct, they are sponsors here.  Not only that, but come on...it's the Wensels..be grateful they have given so many whitetail hunters the knowledge that they spent their lives accumulating.  Try talking to Micheal Jordan on a website! In my opinion, the Wensels, along with Roger Rothaar ARE the Micheal Jordan's of whitetail hunting.  And I don't even like basketball!!

Right on Jon...

Check leaving in today's mail for Libertyville...


John3

PM and email sent......check went out in today's mail.

Winterhawk1960

I would like a limited edition of both books I dont care what  number they are. Ron Roehrick.

Gene, thanks for taking my orders so quickly on the phone. Ron Roehrick.

Man, I wish I could read.

There's lots of pictures too!

Guys, Gene once sent me a bunch of toenail clippings.  Can't remember if they were in a book or not, but he claimed they were from Mickey Mantle and were thus worth something.  Some cock-and-bull story about them being in his motel room after he left or something.   :)  

But if I recall there were only 6 or 7 in there, so maybe the rest may show up in one of your books and be worth even more than the cookie crumbs Biggie mentioned.

Gene.One Heck of a read..i just can't put it down...probably finish it tonight...thanks

....man, joe, you're quite the fecal agitator...  :D    ;)    :p

Gene and Barry or is it Barry and Gene?
I'd like a limited of each as well...
Like numbers 7,13, 26, 67

I sent to your e-mais listed in your profiles. Just let me know if they're available and I'll get the check sent out ASAP

Thanks

Joey, way to start rumors. You are the master. Bryce, you did save that one M.M. toenail didn't you? I only sent you one but it was worth a fortune. I'm down to just three.
Slasher, I have you down for # 67 but can't speak for Barry. He'll be home tomorrow night. Stay tuned.

TTT  there Gene, I brought it back up are you happy now?

Checks in the mail for one of each of the limited editions.  Thanks,
Craig Schoneberg

ttt........Hink...  :archer:

Sending a separate check for Limited Ed. of each book, tomorrow.

Someone is creating bedlam on Pow Wow, hope you know what numbers are available, prefer 65, 66 or ??.
Barry Binder, Ridgefield, WA

I would like a set of the limited Editions, (if they are still available).

Guys, gotta back out of this.  Talked to my wife and with no job, things are just too tight right now.  I thought I could swing it but it's either the books or new arrow shafts for this season and I've gotta go with the arrows.  That should open up one set of limiteds for someone else.

Sorry.

Dave, what arrows are you shooting? SOMEONE here will send you some shafts. Go ahead and get the books!

Let us know what your shooting Dave.  I've got a ton of carbon, aluminum and wood laying around and would be happy to help.

Let us know Dave.. If you shoot between 50-65#'s I know I have either alum or carbon shafts that will work for you...

John III

Just sent my checks to you guys and hoping to get a signed copy of each book  :)

Please put me down for a copy of BOTH of the limited editions as well if they are still available.  #74, or #29 for either or both if available.  

Thanks guys!

Payments in the mail for both.  Thanks again!

T.

Gene/Barry,

Sign me up for one of each... limited edition.

Thanks,
-Don

Dave,I agree with Biggie get the books. I have arrows if you are in need. Tell us what you are looking for. I believe between what I have seen here you will end up with some arrows.

Guys, thanks for the offers both here and in several pm's.  This is truly a great place and a great bunch of guys.

Biggie, THANK YOU!

Gene, Barry, sorry to have dragged this down to the wire but the checks should be going out tomorrow for the specials.  Hope I'm not too late.

Is number 9 available in either of your books?

My number nine is already spoken for but if you want to list a few other numbers Gene and I will try to get you matching Limited Edition numbers. BW

Gene & Barry,

Haven't been on the site for a while and just came across this exciting news.  I'd really like #7 if it is available; I would guess it's long gone since I'm catching the end of the pre-orders.  Thanks,

Keith

Thanks Berry
But its #9 or nothing. Not really I was wondering if you actually had a scratch and dent. You know a discount section. I would be happy with one that didn't have the covers as long as all the chapters were all there. How about if I send you and your brother some money for your basic book price. I will send it before Oct.1.  :D  
Thanks and Good luck on your upcoming season and good hunting.
Olin

I will get 2 money orders on their way tomorrow.
1 of each limited editons please, #86 if available. 2 of each regular hardcovers.
That should be about $100 +21 for shipping to each brother.

Terry

TTT for the last day.

Moneys in the mail today. Coming from Alaska It might take a few days to get there. Thanks
Olin

I know this is a 4th quarter :01 sec left Hail Mary. I have been searching to the ends of the earth looking for Buckskin and Bone and would love to add it to my collection. I know I'm 14 years late to the party but would love to read this book. I hear it's Mr Wensel's best book. If someone has multiple copies that they would be willing to let go I will compensate them for a copy. My email is luelf06@gmail.com or just you can just private message me. Respectfully, Jeff

Jeff, check your email.
