Super excited about this next episode of the Ryan Furrer Podcast with my friend and legendary Bowhunter, Barry Wensel.
I was very anxious to get this podcast recorded and out to the masses, as over the years I've found that a lot of new bowhunters, or even hunters in general for that matter have never heard of Barry and/or his twin brother Gene. ( Check them out on Brothers of the Bow.com)
That's really unfortunate especially in today's world with the amount of hunting "content" that's out there floating around all the different platforms. Here's why.
Barry and Gene are 76 years young- Barry started self filming his own hunts when he was 14 years old! That's right, 62 years ago! Ha! He's also credited with killing not only the first deer but the fist 2 deer on video back in the early 80's (Bowhunting October Whitetails) which started the ball rolling with what now has become the "industry" of oudoor television. Yes- he/ they are the epitome of what we like to coin certain old-school types as the O.G's
Yeah I'm sure someone would have filmed their own hunt sooner or later, but at this point Barry was the first.
Since then Barry still continues to hunt, self film and kill giant Whitetails like no other. Oh yeah! let me mention, he has only ever hunted with traditional equipment. Yep! Big mature 5.5 yr old or older bucks all inside the 25 yard line with mainly a recurve bow in hand. The real "Stick and String" Pet peeve of mine..
As with all the other episodes please give a like and subscribe to the podcast. You can give feed back or submit listener questions via social media, or at Rpfurrer@yahoo.com
With that- out of the respect of Bowhunting I bring to you, Barry Wensel.
Hope you enjoy!
