Oh man! John, you have re-ignited my passion for bowhunting on public land in Michigan! I can't wait to attend your whitetail workshop in April with my Dad. I am super excited to be practicing how to saddle hunt. I have hunted with tree climbers, ladder stands, etc., but I think saddle hunting is a game-changer. I can't believe in my 40 years of hunting I am only now hearing about saddle hunting. Thank you for opening my eyes to a whole new hunting world. All the best John!

I just started my own channel last year. This is my first year saddle hunting. I'm happy I was referred to your channel. Great content here that has blessed me.

[@jakebinney353]

John Eberhart, I found some videos about you yesterday. Wow I wish it did not take me this long to find your content. I have been Bow hunting whitetails since I was 14, and completely by myself since I was the age of 16, all in Northwest PA. Knock on door permission and public land high pressured nocturnal deer, and to hear someone with the stats like yourself say what you have said in this video from 11:22-19:00 is truly outstanding. Thank you for that, I hope this video reaches millions of views over the next 5 years because this is the truth behind the whitetail deer woods! Thank you sir.

[@kevlartv9329]

John is the real deal! He is super helpful I emailed him with specific questions about scent control. He not only answered those questions, but also sent me 7 word documents he wrote about the subject the very next day. Thanks John! Can't wait for more of your impressive content!!

Mr Eberhart thank you for taking this step to help hunters like myself be more successful at seeing larger deer. It’s not always about the kill to me. If I fool a decent buck while hunting, if I learn more about hunting it is a successful hunt to me.

[@eberhartoutdoors4219]

I have to say David that you were hunting from the best stands and that if you learn the proper way to maneuver all the way around trees, you'll never look back, however if you only use a platform with no steps around the back side as many KZbinr's do, you may want to stick with your lone Wolf as your shot opportunities aren't much different. States are different and there is no discussion on that fact. John

[@adohiproductions6506]

Such a breath of fresh air to hear about success from a real world hunter actually hunting pressured deer! A guy hunting like the rest of us common folk. Most celebrity hunters don't like when you mention Eberhart , it hurts their egos. Just get tired of hearing about how if you don't plant a 20acre food plot that cost 6k dollars, you have no chance at killing a mature buck. Then you do research on them like Mr. Eberhart mentioned and you find out that they are sponsored by seed company or they own some kind of deer attractant company. My favorite part was a certain interview with Mr. Eberhart, where he said not ever going into a "sanctuary" was the dumbest thing he had ever heard! Of course he said the conditions need to be right, but you can absolutely hunt a sanctuary, just have to do it a certain way. He basically calls out the celebrity hunters who have gotten huge egos from killing big bucks on huge private farms with little to no hunting pressure. Not every tv hunter is like that, but 95% are

[@eberhartoutdoors4219]

I view the overwhelmingly vast majority of TV hunters as actors and entertainers that hunt deer ranches similar to cattle ranches. They grow many bucks until they are ready for the entertainment market and then harvest them for that purpose. They make a great living at it just as Hollywood actors do. Have nothing against them whatsoever. It sort of reminds of the movie back to school with Rodney Dangerfield when the business professor asked the class about starting a business and how to go about it. Rodney mentioned a litiny of work and reality things that had to be done to start a business (he was a businessman) and be successful and the professor wasn't privy to most of the hard work it took for a start up company and told him to basically shut up. Then asked the class where they would build their business and Rodney blurted out, might as well be in Fantasy Land.

Hey John, glad to see you finally made the big time! A TV star! Keep up the good hunting tips.

[@eberhartoutdoors4219]

Definitely have zero interest in TV. My hunting style wouldn't fit on TV very well. Not killing a buck in 2 seasons wouldn't get it on TV, they have to hunt ranches and huge managed properties where they can go and kill a monster in a few days. How many times have I heard, what a great hunt, we hunted hard for 4 days to kill this buck (from a shack next to an open field). No thanks! I wouldn't hunt those places even if they were offered, which they have been. But thanks for the support.

[@chrisdolan9515]

Really looking forward to the development of this channel. All that is said is absolutely spot on. Saddles rule. The TV guys are entertainers. Hunting mature bucks on pressured public land is the greatest challenge. Etc. One thing I am eager to learn is proper scent control. I've not really done much that way over the years (largely due to cost and uncertainty as to effectiveness...not wanting to drop a large wad of cash on a hope). With the areas I hunt, it could be a real game changer.

I always say, hunting in NJ is unlike anywhere else in the country. The pressure, hunters per square mile and lack of major terrain changes on many lands makes it a full time job to get on mature deer. Love seeing guys that tell it like it is about the BS on TV.

Based on the information we know to be true. I would have to agree that John Eberhart is the greatest whitetail deer hunter of all time.....south of M115. Im certainly not making the claim that I am better because I know im not. But I would however love to see John come north and pull it off year after year. Im not saying he couldnt, and I believe he likely could. I do believe it is far more difficult north of M115. Love this channel. Learning a lot from John and cant wait to see more.

[@eberhartoutdoors4219]

No I couldn't, I haven't even got it done here for the last 3 seasons. Haven't even seen a shooter in Michigan in 3 seasons and I see a dozen or more when I go out of state for a week. It is not more difficult up north though and there are a lot of counties up north with mandatory APR's whereas there are none here where I hunt. I know guys taking some really good bucks in Manisttee Nat'l forest and especially up in TC and Leelanaw counties. Central Michigan has sandy soil just like up north does. I've taken 5 year olds with 105 inch antlers.

[@whitetailstorm1967]

@@eberhartoutdoors4219 Im back and forth whether the APR helps or it doesnt. I ventured down around Clare area this summer and glassed some fields. I saw 100s of deer and multiple shooters even on slow evenings. Of course, all private property. Make the same drives around here and there are far less deer and rarely see a shooter. The difference 30 miles north is unreal. Granted, there is always a big buck taken in this county and that county up here. Just seems to be more rare.

@@whitetailstorm1967 Way more public up north and a lot of the private grounds around here are managed and that is why you see the bigger 100 inch bucks around here.

Have never seen anything bigger on stand. Have only seen 1 buck over 150 up here in the 10 years ive hunted. I have never desired to go out of state.
