Wensel video

[Barry Wensel]

Yeah Tom, I actually have two more in the works. Both are different than anything anyone has seen before. One will be "Charting the Whitetail Rut 2017". In a nutshell, I "set up" (detailed a prime area) in a remote location. Then I put up a trail camera to record 10 second video clips 24/7 between Oct. 24, 2017 and Nov. 9, 2017. Then, I didn't go anywhere near it, so everything I captured was natural movement/activities. I ended up with 458 ten-second video clips that are not only extremely interesting but very educational. I plan on editing them with an audio overlaying explaining what the viewer is watching. I'm proud to say I captured a pile of stuff on tape that a ton of bowhunters have likely never seen before.
 The second one I'm working on will be titled "Out And About" (OUT in the timber and ABOUT whitetails) subtitle: "Techniques and Strategies for successfully taking fully mature trophy whitetails". It will include some of the basic bootcamp stuff I teach, but also some additional tricks of the trade I've not shared yet. By the way, the two bootcamps I have scheduled for this year were both sold out before I even announced them. I just had a couple cancellations if anyone is interested. I'm doing Kzoo in a couple weeks so I'm sure they'll fill. So, if anyone wants a slot now is the time to move on it. I know I've said it before but these will be my last two. Thanks folks. bw

I was snowed in yesterday so I watched it again!!  Good stuff. I was lucky enough to see a lot of that footage with live play by play commentary from The Man himself while at his boot camp last year.   One thing that I can say is that this man is STILL hunting hard as ever and he loves talking whitetails and sharing his knowledge. Looking forward to more!!

Mine arrived today. Watching it now with my son. So cool seeing footage from some of the stand locations we saw during the bootcamp.

I have watched the new DVD a couple time now. I enjoyed it a lot. Wonderful job Barry.  Do you teach everybody how to swim across a river with a bow in one hand in the boot camps?  Lol.

[Barry Wensel]

That scene of me swimming across the river with bow in hand, in the background you'll hear a voice saying "All right Barry.. a regular Tarzan". That's Paul Schafer's voice saying that. How ironic is that? Paul Schafer calling ME Tarzan?? HHHHHAAAAA. bw.

Can't wait to get my copy!

[Jim Brennen]

Cant wait to get mine. I just ordered off of the website, I guess its up and running again.

[toddster]

Uncle Barry, you can go ahead and put me down for the other two dvd's.  See you in Kalamazoo, think they sale bourbon up there?

[Ray Hammond]

All I can tell you fellows is if you have not seen it you're missing out!
Great footage...great commentary... it's four solid hours of eyes-glued -to-the-tv viewing!

[bill langer]

Thanks for sharing Barry!
I've really enjoyed it, well done!
Watching the footage from the October whitetail series, which inspired me to start filming my hunts, never gets old.
Keep them coming!!

[buckeyebowhunter]

Just finished watching. Thanks Barry,I too very much enjoyed the video. The October whitetail stuff is still the absolute best. That footage means a lot to me I guess because it's what I cut my teeth on as a bowhunter. I remember watching October whitetail with my dad an grandpa back in maybe elementary or middle school and i was hooked. The bows you used in October I an II and High nooon bucks were awesome. I'm guessing they were made by Paul. My favorite being the one in Highnoon with the treebark Camo on the limbs, awesome stuff.

[Barry Wensel]

I know you guys enjoy hearing the rest of the story. Yes, all those bows I used when filming Bowhunting October Whitetails, etc. were built by Paul himself and gifted to me. A sad note is I lost them all in our fire in '99. Funny story, The one I happened to be shooting when I shot those first two running bucks on Oct. WTs, years later Paul was over at my house and we were doing stuff in my work shed when he took that bow down off the hook and started laughing. I asked what was so funny? He looked at the bow and said "what are you kidding? This is a piece of junk" (well actually he didn't use the word junk. Ha.) Here he was bad-mouthing his own work, explaining how far he'd come since he'd built that "piece of junk". The bow obviously shot well though. Great memories. bw

I just got my copy in the mail and watched part of the first DVD last night.  It brought back some great memories and made me wish that I had kept better records and pictures of my past hunts, harvest and friends.  What a blessing to have so many "memories" and experiences recorded so you can share it!  It isn't a "whack'em and stack'em" deer hunting video but a visual history of an iconic traditional bowhunter and his love for nature and the game he loves to hunt. It is a "must have" for any one that loves to hunt with a bow and arrow.  My copy will be treasured along with my Fred Bear Master DVD Collection.  Thank you Barry Wensel for sharing with us and God bless you and your family!

This will be a gift from my sweety for valentines. So looking forward to watching it.

[Covey]

It's been awesome so far. Lots of good laughs along with some great old footage and Barry interjecting every little bit. Helps to pass the time on these cold and snowy days.

[Ghostbow]

Just finished watching both discs. Fantastic! Worth every penny.

[jonsimoneau]

I watched both disks on Sunday then went out hunting for the last evening of the season. Now that's a good day! The video is amazing. I love the old footage the most. Now Barry ya just gotta release the other 600 hours! Good stuff.

[Jim Boettcher]

Mr. Wensel, I hope you're bringing enough DVD's to the Kalamazoo show!
