John is a world class bow hunter and has been an amazing role model for the entire industry for a very very long time. John thank you for being not only a great hunter but also a great teacher.
I don't want to make assumptions about your comment but John is very generous to share his knowledge and experience. If you get hung up on his confidence and ignore his message, then you're missing out on his value. He is not a sellout and is only focused on results. Many of the strategies and approaches that I use on blacktail deer in the West are derived from many emails and conversations with John over two decades ago.
Great interview! To me deer hunting is 99.9% failure and .1% success. I say this because the success for me is in the harvest of the deer. I learn to fail fast in the woods by learning as I go so I can grow and can become more and more efficient. The failure is not ultimate failure or anything bad for me but rather progressive experience necessary to reaching the goal. Scouting, sitting in the stand, watching deer, looking for sign, close calls, missed shots, bumping a deer, winding a deer, buck fever, and the list goes on....I see it as all failed experiences helping me get closer and closer to the success of the harvest. Most hunters get frustrated by the failure of the lack of harvest and give up or settle for a lesser deer. I thrive on the failures and they spur me on to learn, hone my skills and make me a better and better hunter. There is no better feeling than true confidence in killing big bucks regardless of all the failed moments prior to the harvest.
What is the brand of the rattling bag that you showed in another video-I know you said that it was discontinued-or could you make a recommendation for a good one?
I don't struggle, I don't make mistakes (if I do make a mistake it's because I can't shoot a bow heavier than 40 lbs) my greatest weakness is my discipline. One day I'll be this good. Though I suppose I'd like to stay married to my wife
@ronnyg5877 no doubt. That's why I brought it up. You can't deny he is one of the best, an absolute master. But it comes/came at a price. And he is full of himself, perhaps rightfully so though
Big fan of John being im from Michigan and I still tell everyone how his record speaks for itself but when asked if you ever make mistakes and he just brings up physical limitations... that ego just screams arrogance
His mistake is believing in scentlok. He refuses to believe that his no wind approach works simply bc he hunts 35-40 feet high. Hence approaching bucks within 75 yards cannot smell him as his scent blows over them. There use to be a graph made that shows this. It’s all mathematics!

He is a poacher big time
Johns forgot more about hunting then most will ever know. Love his style his attitude his determination. Expert definition of a real hunter
This guy sure is proud of himself
He is but his record speaks for itself
I was as confident, and able to consistently produce results I’d be proud of myself too
he should be!

He is a legend
He’s made me a better hunter! Every time I think he’s wrong I find out I am!!
Such a big fan of John Eberhart...Practical hunter with uncommon discipline
great interview, great questions and as always always great detailed honest answers. Good luck to all this bowhunting season!
He's the best hunter he knows, just ask him.
Humble too

Awesome I’m waiting for John to get on the meat eater podcast

Scent control is real. You're either 100% dedicated or your not. There is no inbetween
Eberhart is the 🐐
His mistake is not using a crossbow. Good show
Miles Keller work for XI bowls I believe

She in fact divorced him precisely due to the fact that he was never home. His first wife that is.

Hes made his name by killing 3 yo deer and telling everyone they are mature.
