Has anyone out there checked out Barry Wensel's new "Boot Camp" for bowhunters? It's a four day session that's supposed to change the way you hunt Whitetails. In my eyes, this guy is a living legend, and I just wonder if anyone on this board has anything good or bad to report on Barry's latest venture. Anyone checked it out yet?

I read a short article about the boot camp, but I cant remember what magazine it was in. They gave great revues about the camp. Heck, I would love to go to it, and see just how it is.

I got a little info. Barry was inspired by BIGGIE HOFFMAN to do his bootcamp thing, Barry is no doubt a living bowhunting legend, as is his twin brother GENE, I couldn't imagine his bootcamp not being benificial to even a seasoned hunter, these guys are great people also, they both give back a bunch to our gret sport of bowhunting.

My favorite Wensel quote:

Gene Wensel 26-May-01 Bowsite Iowa Conferance

"..... I'm not going to get into another argument with local Iowans who expect quality hunting opportunities rent free forever while farmers are having a hard time paying their taxes. I can't help but wonder why you are so chummy with an outfitter/neighbor who leases too. The truth is we are simply past the point of supply and demand. As a resident, you had better swallow your pride and secure limited access bowhunting-only rights on prime habitat for yourself and friends. Or you may as well break out your golf clubs."

Golf was never my favorite sport, but paying to hunt even less so.
