Wensel Brothers - Brothers of the Bow Hunting Videos

THE WENSEL BROTHERS

THE WENSEL BROTHERS

Gene and Barry have hunted with recurves and longbows for over 50 years. Many friends have commented they never put their toys away since childhood. The Wensel brothers hunted deer with bows and arrows long before there were things like non-military camo, food plots or specialty seeds. There were no compound bows, cell phones, GPS units, video cameras, ATVs, high fences or weekly deer shows on television. Muzzleloaders used round balls, loose black powder and didn’t have scopes. If you wanted a four-wheel drive vehicle, you bought a Jeep. People didn’t raise deer in pens. There had never been a live Boone & Crockett class buck photographed in the wild.

The Wensels have been affiliated with multiple national hunting organizations, including the NRA, PBS, QDMA, P&Y, B&C, etc. Together they have written half a dozen books and hundreds of articles. They have been involved in many video, audio and television productions. They have done hundreds of speaking engagements and hunting seminars all over the world. Bowhunting has taken them all over America, Canada, Alaska and Africa. In 1998, they brought Wensel Woodsman broadheads to the world.

“Blending in with mother nature gives one the feeling of acceptance, it solidifies your belonging in the circle of life and death.”

Barry became easily recognized as “the guy in the crooked hat” in some of the first hunting videos ever produced, bringing his sense of humor and shooting skills to fans across the country. Gene got his biggest exposure during the seven years of his “Classic Whitetails” road tour, annually captivating audiences by the thousands. Barry and Gene, often called the “Ramblin’ Rednecks,” always displayed fun while hunting. Yes, its serious business at times but it should always be fun. Today, the Wensel brothers go on playing with their toys, bringing laughter and respect to our outdoor heritage and getting admiration from those who follow them.
