119 February 2024 issue of D&DH magazine, hunting topics, and 2024 Whitetail Workshops update
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- In the February 2024 Deer & Deer Hunting magazine that just hit the retail shelves, there is an article written about me by a freelance writer in which he asks, in large bold print across the article, "Is he the best bowhunter in America"? Of which there can't be a best hunter for a plethora of reasons which I explain in the video.
I also ask for replies as to what bowhunting topics you would like me to make a video on.
There is also an update on what weekends still have openings for the 2-day Whitetail Workshops.
Lastly, I am wearing a ScentLok Vertigo camo suit in the video and speak about the pattern and would like some comments on what you think about the pattern for a future suit.
John, it would be great to see a video of you cyber scouting and showing us on a satellite map, what terrain features you look at when checking out of state properties. Thanks for all your great information and videos.
I second this!!
What this guy said lol.
Interested in this as well
This please!
Got it@@TheWolfman2006
John in my opinion after 33 years of bow hunting and following you since 2012 you are without a doubt the best bow hunter of our time. Since adopting your strategies me and my sons have been shooting the best bucks of our lives. The number one thing that predicts all deer movements is hunter pressure and that’s why it’s so difficult for us to appreciate what all the guys on TV are promoting, food plots, scents, treestands, blinds etc. That’s why you see the TV guys on hundreds of acres of private land so they eliminate most of not all their competitors. There is no reason for the majority of hunters to listen or take advice from any of them because it is not relatable to the majority of hunters. Keep telling the truth and posting videos about whatever you think will help us. Hunting is going in the wrong direction and we need guys like you telling everyone how it really is. Hope you have many more seasons to come. Thanks!
Thanks and I totally agree with your assessment of the TV actors.
Based on your success and the education you have provided we the hunting public, I believe it's well earned. You're very detail oriented and I follow your regimen as close as I can. I'm still improving, however, have a ways to go.
Thanks Harvey
Congratulations on the magazine cover John. Your success is proof of your system. Kudos to you sir👍
The fact is that you are the best bowhunting deer hunter. 99.9 percent of hunting personalities are more bowhunting popular culture facades rather than hunters. So yes, Fred Bear and John Eberheart and maybe a few others in history. But, you sir out of the living are the best bowhunting deer hunter in the world 🌎, its not even close. Much respect, appreciation and admiration. Overdue..... decades overdue. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
WOW, that's a great compliment and there are a lot of great bowhunters, I just happen to share my thoughts to help others improve on their skills. We all spend so much time and money on hunting, so we might as well take advantage of whatever help we can get to make it more gratifying.
Congratulations been watching for 5 years, has helped me a ton. Thanks again
Thanks
More scouting videos please. I love the scouting videos where you explain what’s going on in an area and why. Also where you would set up. Wouldn’t mind hearing about your trail cam strategies too, if you have any. I have a pretty good system that works for me but always willing to try anything new
Thanks and I do have camera strategies and will do one on that. Going to do more scouting vids but I can't do them on any public I plan on hunting because they always get recognized.
loved the vertigo series.cant believe they stopped production on a pattern that actually worked that good.i had vertigo tan for early season and I hunt north central wv .never ever even came close to getting busted with a dozen or more highly n edge deer under me every single night.
Couldn’t agree more. Vertigo and lost camo were the best!
I'm trying to get ScentLok into bringing it out again for another run.@@usmcgunner58
I've read all the comments and answered them and here is what I wrote down concerning new or repeated videos: E-scouting from aerials and topos, scouting for new locations and why a specific spot is a location, preparing a tree with sticks and aider with strap on ring, same using screw-ins, and spikes all the way to the top, placing motion cameras 12 to 14 foot up, more audio hunting stories, how morning entries can be dangerous when using ScentLok, arrows and heads, show and explain scrape areas better, not being concerned with getting winded on entries and exits while wearing ScentLok, hill country issues with thermal drafts, swirling winds, and thermal hubs, Vertigo pattern worn in a tree, skeeters and ticks, setting up in large trees, mature bucks entering a natural destination feeding mast or fruit tree location, and my steps for an out of state hunt.
A good video suggestion; times of day to hunt in conjuction with times of the season in depth.
Possibly go over and break down each phase of the season and when to hunt those phases.
Hello John! Much appreciate your videos! I am huge fan of your 'in field interviews' from the treestand when you are explaining not only your set up by why you pick that spot as a good setup.... Going through the details of your hunting spot and the 'why' from the treestand are awesome. I believe the more you can show folks more of the interviews from the tree are very educational. Thanks again John.
Got it and while I've done a few, I can do more and need to do a complete tree with sticks and aiders and ring of steps, also with screw in steps.
@@johneberhart4062Looking forward to them!
@@johneberhart4062 John that would be a video I really look forward to! Would love to see a complete tree with tethrd sticks and ROS and your view from the top and what your thoughts are with deer movement from the top. Keep em coming!
@@812media9 That's 2nd on my list of videos to do. Just been spending so much of my time on my next book.
@@johneberhart4062 I can’t wait until the book comes out!
Well-deserved print John. Congrats!
Thanks Shawn
Excellent John! Very stand up and accurate thing you did with this video. That’s why, imo, in what you do and where, you are the best in more than just bow hunting. The ambassador of the best way to bow hunt… in a saddle. Thanks for the recent help you gave me on email reply🦌
- Jerry Shinn, Texas
Excellent content! Thank you!
Speaking the truth. Having the record you have in the heavily pressured state of Michigan, you John are the best in my eyes. I had the opportunity to meet you at Apple Creek when the Tagged Out crew was there and when I turned the corner and seen I almost crapped my pants! LoL. Always speaking the truth regardless of what people think. And, yes Fred Bear is the man as well. That goes without saying. Always look forward to your videos. Thank you. Chris
Thanks Chris and you know the saying, "And the truth will set you free".
Hey john keep up the good work always been a hero of mine.
Heck yea John congratulations regardless of the notion of the best bow hunter it’s still nice to have that acknowledgment. You never shied away from anything.
Dan, you're correct, shying away from a passion due to a bunch of stupid and jealous rhetoric is not in my playbook.
Omg! I got the same suit! I bought it for that reason for the pattern! Ive hunted many seasons with that suit and I dont recall one time that a deer knew what I was if they caught movement. High quality and well made. If Scent Lock came out with that patern for a cold weather suit I would buy it in a heartbeat. I love the one piece overalls. Very humbling analogy you got my respect👍Ted Nugent knew the significance of Fred Bear and even wrote a song about him. A Bear bow was the firs one I hunted with...Have a good new year...
Thanks Barry and the plan is to get the insulated saddle suit made in Vertigo in 2025.
I'd like to see a video of how you'd go about hunting a place you've never been & never scouted, and have only browsed a map of the place, of how you'd go about looking around and selecting a spot for an afternoon / evening hunt (because you obviously can't look around early in the dark)..... could be for a buck or does either one and any time of the season, any info from you is extremely valuable.
Congratulations! If I had a recommendation for a video it would be on different terrain types. You said it yourself Michigan has a lot of swamps and that’s obviously your wheelhouse. A lot of us hunt areas that don’t necessarily have swamps like you have.
I just found your channel today I grew up in Pinckney MI hunting hi Pressure deer I live in TN now on my own land it is easier I would like to see more sent control please started saddle hunting last year
Congratulations on the Deer and Deer Hunting article. I have always wondered who was the "best" deer hunter. It can't be some man or woman who owns their own property, controls access, and hunts only afternoons over food plots. It has to be someone who figures out mature deer in public settings, with unpredictable hunting pressure, and consistently ambushes them. Very few people fall into this latter category - and you are one of them. Once again, congratulations - well-deserved.
Thanks Richard and as mentioned in the video, there are lots of great hunters out there, they just don't get any recognition.
I've been working on the Eberhart way for about 3 years now and i got to the point where i really didn't know if it was working or not . I think for most people its hard to gauge wether or not its working . I decided to talk to every person on public i run into to figure out if what I'm seeing is different than the average hunter . Every hunter has either never seen a legal buck or has only seen one out of bow range .i regularly see legal bucks , it's just not what I'm targeting , the more i talk to other hunters the more data im getting that says I'm doing something right , all we can do is our best so get out and do your best , thanks John for giving me the info to do my best
Doesn't sound as if it has helped, but you're welcome.
Would love to see more of your scouting videos!
Great video! I really enjoy your hunting stories . Maybe try to get scentlock to make a eberheart backpack that would be great
I've ran the backpack up the ScentLok pole for the past 5 or more years with no bites. I have a ton more hunting stories, but they don't get viewed as much, but they are easy to do so I will do some again.
Hey John. I would like to see a video on shot placement, particularly steeper angled shots inside 15 yards.
John, I would love a video about two specific things regarding your morning entries. The first, rut entries. Since using your advice, I’ve been charged by two bucks in early November in the pitch dark. It thoroughly sucked! I’m sure this has happened to you and I’d love to hear about your experiences with this. The second, how you prevent sweating during those entries as well. I struggle every year with layering in the cold and how much to wear on entries. I hunt in central Wisconsin and it’s a struggle every year and I know you’re walking much farther than I am to get to your hunting location. Thank you for your books and videos! They’ve helped me immensely!
I get it and when you go in correctly on morning hunts, with a dim or no light, bucks will think you're another deer and with a proper scent control, they can't smell you when they get close either. Yes, I have had the same issues and have written about them and it will also be in my next book this year. Wear a bright headlamp and have no scent control and you won't have to worry because you will spook them well before they even think you might be another deer.
The dark patterns offered in the saddle hunting suit is why I've not bought one yet. Good video John
They are a bit darker than I wanted them to be but that heavy fleece exterior fabric was only available in those patterns. Trying to get them to make it in Vertigo in 2025.
I would love to see a scentlok suit with sitka elevate 2 pattern. I swear by scentlok and the sitka clothing in the elevate 2 pattern is fantastic. I wear sitka base layers , scentlok mid layers, and sitka fanatic outer layer in elevate 2. A carbon lined sitka fanatic elevate 2 outer layer would be amazing. Sitka aint cheap but the comfort and warmth and function of the clothing is great for a bow hunter which is all I do,and spending money on bow hunting doesn't bother me one bit cause its what i love to do as well as my 2 daughters also, Gun hunting doesn't interest me anymore and hasn't for years. My scent control regimen almost mirrors johns with the exception of the carbon outer layer and the van. Thank you John I have learned alot from you and am a better bow hunter from it . Happy hunting and GOD BLESS
I have nothing to do with the patterns ScentLok uses and have no clue what elevate 2 pattern is. No doubt that if we averaged out what we spend on bowhunting and divide the pounds of meat we get from the deer we kill, it would be quite pricey.
You wrote a speech after your reward 😂 Love it
Also learned the light rattle sequence from you and killed 2 bucks past two yrs using it. Thanks
That is awesome Travis and you must admit, sparring in and killing a buck is a rush.
Hi John, some video on your bow equipment could be useful. You have shot a lot of deers and I am sure you have a pragmatic and "minimalist" approach to what you use: bow, arrow, rest ... The industry tends to make it complicated and it could be refreshing to go back to basics. Thank you!
Keep the videos coming. Scouting videos and hunting prep are always good!
Will do.
John, like too see you up in your tree with Your Vertigo, showing us how great the pattern was, and when it was here, if you snoozed you losed. And if you would go over my Trophy line tree saddle that you helped design 30 years ago that I'm still using today, I just cut off shoulder straps and made a belt for it, other than that too me I would never get another, but if someone came in my lair and stole it, I would definitely get your three panels Eberhart saddle. All I know your a fantastic bow hunter and I have been learning from you thirty years or more, and it put me I'm a different level, only difference is I hunt traditional and it's my passion my hole life, since my Dad got me into at 4 years old, and when he pulled his recurve out of the rafters of the basement and gave it too me at about 10 years old, it was a magical day that I will never forget, that day my passion started for traditional archery, continues shooting, stalking small game then deer hunting. I'm excited that your doing awesome and I'm still learning pearls of wisdom from you, this year I was blessed with a 155 inch 11 point all free range hunting and using are beloved mock scrapes, laid down in the right spot. John thanks alot. One moreDiddy, the truth lies in cent control it all changed when I bought the vertigo camo, with cent lock, that I learned from you , and you were right in every case how great it works, so I could carry on all day about you and how you brought me so much more wisdom and knowledge but then, they might fall asleep, but then again if they have the spirit of the wild, I would listen all day, Johnny 👊👊
I can do that.
Wish the scentlok regiment would work for me but as I have talked with you John and just can’t figure out but it hasn’t been a cure all for me. I gotta still hunt the wind the best I can. Do wish they made vertigo or ASAT patterns.
I would be interested in your thoughts on camouflage patterns at different times of the year or in different hunting areas . Thank you
I would be interested in a video on strategies you may have for Hill Country. In KY I hunt the hills . BTW, I attended one of John’s workshops went by myself and had a great time. Loved the drive up from KY, the town where it was held, Jays Sporting Goods the fellowship I made it back in 2016 I think when they were in August. Highly Recommend it. To me, John was great in the detail he gives, his desire to teach and convey his knowledge and experience.
Thanks Steve and yes, I plan on doing an extensive video on hill country hunting which requires a different skillset. It will be done on flat land but the hill country content will be there.
@@johneberhart4062You really ought to come to Ky where I hunt on public and film it lol of course editing out my saddle locations -Steve
Still using the scent lok timber fleece in vertigo camo.its amazing in a tree stand and even more so off the ground in snow.would love to see it more readily available. Also how about a video on how you pick one destination spot over others maybe more in depth of picking those locations on public land. Amen to the real goat Fred bear.
Amen on Fred Bear, and I plan on doing more location videos this spring.
John, I'd like to see you talk about the best entries and exits from stands.
I already have a video on that topic.
Dealing with perspiration, while in scent lok already.. walking out to spot and sweatin or while in tree and sweatinn.... i hunt south louisiana.. early season has a bunch of benefis here, except the heatt...
Spot and stalk or hunting from the ground tips? I will be using a saddle just as a seat to hide behind a large tree but I pick a large tree with vertical and horizontal downed trees and honestly don't get spotted by deer that way. Haven't had many issues.
The terra gila pattern is fairly close to that vertigo pattern. The vertigo pattern was the first scent lok suit and pattern i bought and your right it worked great in the late season when the folage was gone.
100%
Hey john, i appreciate all of the videos and awesome tips. I believe you have some videos of actually prepping a tree. If you could in the spring show a start to finish with spikes/screw in steps all the way up to your hunting height! Then show how you do your ring of steps with screw on cranfords or your spikes!!! Thanks buddy .
It is tough to do by myself, but I will do one of each, sticks and strap on ring, screw ins and ring, and spikes and ring. I have to put the camera away from the tree to catch me all the way up the tree, and then there is no close-ups.
@johneberhart4062 Yeah, you would almost need a second camera, man, lol . Thanks for getting back to me, John! Can't wait for your new book
JOHN, another great video! I hope you and your family are doing great. your friend bill
Thanks Bill and same to you and your family.
John,
I don't know if this is worth making a video about but do you ever worry about deer winding you on your entries and exits?
I noticed you rarely put on your Scentlok headcover until you are in your tree.
I have a video on entries and exits and I'm sure I mentioned not worrying about getting winded, but I can do another in the spring.
John, I would love to see a video on how you set up your filming equipment from a tree. I use a ring of steps and follow most of what you do. Most of the guys set up their camera arm around waist or chest height. If I do that it gets in the way of being able to move around the entire tree. A video or any tips would be great
I don't film my hunts and when you see any footage of me while hunting, I'm holding the camera. I did a couple sparring videos during hunts and did use a regular motion camera screw in holder for those. I never plan on filming a kill because I don't agree with kills being aired and showing arrows going into deer and watching deer dye.
I understand, thanks for the response
Great video!
Thanks
Someone may have asked this already, so I apologize not reading all the comments. Could you do a video of setting up, tether length and how you go about hunting very large diameter trees?
I don't think I did one on that and I certainly can.
I think a good video idea would be how you came up with your saddle hook-up setup with Cranford T Screws and how you tested it. Its definitely different and I think uniquely cool.
I can't do a video on that because I have no guarantee the user would screw in the T correctly or deep enough and I don't want anyone to get hurt.
@@johneberhart4062 That's understandable
Thanks for a very descriptive explanation.
You're welcome Ron
I would love to see content on how you go to the big buck states and gain permission, set up and get eyes on a big buck.
He has videos on deer and deer Hunting Channel. But there very short
I have an entire chapter in my new book on that exact topic, but it won't be out until fall.
John would like to hear about dealing with mosquitos and ticks when hunting.
Scentlok lol
Correct@@Louisiana-critter-getter
John, can you show/ explain destination locations better? When you hunt them vs. primary scrape areas? Great content as always!
Noted, and will do another scrape area video in the spring and explain better.
I love this content and have started gearing up and am actively working out the whole process. I have two questions on the activated carbon. 1. When it hangs on the retail store garment racks, is it "worn out" before i have a change to use it? and 2. Does activated carbon provide additional scent control over a waterproof garment? thank you!
He can’t answer that because he’s on the team but I have to absolutely believe they are ruined and that’s why so many people believe it dosnt work… don’t wash it and buy it directly from scentlok 👍🏻 out the bag in the dryer in a scent free airtight tote, I’d buy a tote and boots before you buy any piece of it… good luck hunting brother.
I like that answer because that's exactly what I did. I use the racks at the local stores to get my sizing correct and buy online. Who knows how long the raw materials are in the open air before packaging, but it seems like it "should" be more pristine to order directly from scentlock. Cheers!@@Louisiana-critter-getter
@@fordray1 my very first suit bought it like that and washed it an got blew at or seen zero deer… went back got another did everything correctly and it’s day and night difference when you got deer tracking you to the tree you’ve got everything correct:)
I would like to see a video on your strategy when you discover people poaching (illegal baiting, using quads, etc) on public land.
That would be a tough one as I would assume anyone would call the DNR if someone poached a deer. In heavily pressured areas I view baiters as nothing more than mature buck deflectors so when I see it, while it's illegal, it doesn't bother me that much. Quads are legal so there is nothing I can do about that.
@@johneberhart4062 Well, I am like you in that I like to access areas that are "too much work", but it is disappointing when I find some landlocked by private area in some hard to get to back corner of state land, only to find the nearby private land owners are using quads to get to their stands and drag deer out. I want to put a note on their quad trail. or give the dnr a pin or track of the illegal activity. They are stealing "our" deer.
I get it, a few years ago I went back on some public and had to wade through water for a couple hundred yards as that was the only public land access to the higher ground. When I got back there, there was an illegal 55 gallon feeder on tripod legs and it had to be brought in from the private bordering property and likely they were the ones hunting at it because public access almost negated the likelihood of anyone accessing it. Sometimes things just make you shake your head. @@andyrunkel8296
Hail to the victors! Go Wolverines!!
Facts... it's hard for some to accept them. I've been using scentlok since the early 2000s. When I came across one of your videos several years ago, I emailed, obtained your scentlok documents and maintained a tight scent control routine. My wife thinks I'm crazy. Others shake their heads. I regularly see and kill the older bucks in my area.
Now for my topic, big woods bucks, I'm struggling with narrowing down movement patterns. Any suggestions?
SL works, just too bad for those that are deniers as they are the ones missing out on additional opportunities Yes, and I just replied to Steve on the same hill country topic.
Class act
Let people email you screenshots of a area or 2 of where they hunt and have you break the area down and give your opinions on what you like about the area and what you don't like about the area. I would love for you to look at specific spot I hunt and get your opinion on it. I located this year for my area (Western Md) a real nice 8pt and 10pt but could not close in on either 1 of there core areas and would love some opinions on where these bucks could be spending there time during daylight hours.
Joel that is a seriously difficult task as the amount and type of hunting pressure an area receives, totally dictates how a mature buck may move on the property. Not knowing where all the other hunters in the area hunt would also make just picking a spot rather meaningless. This is where post season scouting comes in and you can choose some locations from aerials and then go in on foot and see if there are any other hunters around that may have left their sign in the area. You may go in and see a ton of deer sign, but the amount and type of pressure the other hunters present, has a direct impact on whether that sign was made during daylight or at night. Only in lightly hunted areas and on managed properties as seen on TV can you just choose a spot on an aerial and have it work out because there is no other hunting pressure in the area.
If you absolutely have to poop in the woods, & don't have time to get far enough from your stand, is the sit over? Is there a system where you can bury it, or is it a waste (no pun intended). Fun topic.
I can and do go #2 in the tree in a gallon Zip Lok bag. Just overlap the panel and slide them down to my knees, and you can guess the rest. Zip the bag up and put in pack.
No way!!! lol, however, there's not much I wouldn't legally do to get an edge!@@johneberhart4062
Get them to make a coverall in asat. Buy it bigger and put it over any garment
John. I would like to attend one of the workshops in April. I read the website and just wanted to see if you could answer a quick question. When I send a check do u want it dated for the day I send it or the day of the workshop or is there a specific date u want it dated for? Thanks and looking forward to the workshop.
Don’t hit me!!! Maybe your thoughts on FOC and arrow weight. I’m 90% sure I already know your thoughts on this but being your shoulder surgery and stuff, it’d be interesting to hear your 2 cents.
What about a video on hinge-cutting and your opinion?
I don't do any property manipulation or management videos as you can't hinge cut trees on public lands or on free permission properties and that's all I hunt.
would love to see video on the moon and its effect on deer movement !! if and what you think about the moon
I am definitely not a believer in moon phases affecting hunting in heavily hunted areas. Maybe in lightly hunted and managed areas, but not in pressured areas and I've proven it on many occasions. Moon phase studies are done in captive environments and there fore they lend credibility to those that hunt in managed areas that somewhat replicate captive environments.
Truth hurts what ya gonna do? My neighbor worked for Fred Bear at Bear archery up here in Grayling. He had lots of Fred Bear story’s. I only wish I’d have asked him more questions. My neighbor was a great bow Hunter. Those 1950’s 60’s bow hunters sure had some unique techniques and theory’s. (And story’s) That’s an understatement too. My neighbor was your twin John. He worked out and could climb like a monkey until he hurt himself and cancer set in at 76yrs old.
That's cool and while retirement is not overrated, getting old along with it sucks.
Good video john
Thanks
I have to agree they need to make that pattern again
Yes they do and it's in discussions.
Info on how u pick terrain area to hunt were thoes bucks might be located
I believe I covered that in a few of my earlier public land scouting videos.
How about a video on why bucks bed where they do and how u would set up with ur saddle .....how deer use swamps and hill country bedding and why.... also flat ground and where bucks bed and why and how they use the wind and thermals...(which i believe is a big one in hill country)... to get in and out of their bed and how u would set up and morning and evening.....i know u may have covered all this but i havent been through every part of every one of ur videos......or just keep making videos on anything we like to hear u speak and share ur knowledge.....best regards mike conley, gladwin michigan
Oh just thought of another good video how to hunt bucks when all ur neighb ors are baiting and ur not baiting....
I have most of those topics on my list as they are mentioned above. Concerning the baiting issue, I know neighboring properties are oftentimes baiting by how the deer traffic moves off the property. but I have no proof or I would turn them in as it is illegal here. If on public, I would call it in, but I haven't seen it on public yet. Keep in mind I'm not walking through the open timber where most other hunters are hunting and using bait. In those areas I really don't care and am not concerned about them taking a good buck. @@michaelconley6245
Nice one bud! This was a pretty average year for me. Nothing to write home about. I did manage to kill 3 nice bucks (2 over 140) and 9 doe’s (12 deer) in 11 total sits so at least my batting average didn’t suffer. :)
That's an average year! What state are you in?
Yessir- I usually kill at least four good bucks..it’s me Brandon Barlow :) we’ve emailed.
North Carolina but I hunt a tri-state area. LOTS of booners died in NC this year!!!! 👍
Do some ice fishing videos! Would love to see your expertise on fishing as well.
I'm not an ice fishing expert and haven't done it since 1992. Used to go everyday in the winter before I was a sales rep in the hunting industry, but had to work a ton in the winter and never had the chance, so I just quit and gave all my stuff to my son Jon who goes all the time.
@@johneberhart4062 I hear you there, seems like I've only been out once in the past 2 years. It's also hard having little kids(two girls 3 and 5 months). I still have all my stuff, just haven't been able to carve out time. My only other suggestion for new content would be summer fishing tips and tricks.
I just bought some 3/8" tree spikes for some pre set locations. Can't wait to get out there in the spring and get everything set up! Also bought a Makita battery powered chain saw to cut some shooting lanes. Should make quick work of everything.
Makita is an awesome brand and you'll love the saw. Definitely want to get into some fishing videos and would like my sons to as well.@@HockeyTownHooligan5
@@johneberhart4062 Yes I've always had awesome luck with Makita tools. I've used a lot of their stuff doing HVAC work. Still have my same drill from 2009 and it runs great. Probably need new batteries though. I have an impact drill from them too that is amazing.
When I was finishing drywall our 4 man crew would go through about 50 5 gallon buckets of mud a week and we had to mix it with a paddle with a 1/2 inch stem. We used Craftsman, Milwaukee, DeWalt and other popular brands and would rarely get more than 6 months out of a 1/2 inch drill and then we got a Makita and it took 4 years to go through the brushes and we just replaced them and it kept going. Blew all others out of the water.@@HockeyTownHooligan5
I did get your scent control email. Thanks. But I got busted for sure by my boot smell and tried to do my best. How can I make sure my boots stay scent free to help. I washed them, stored them well, put them on at the truck but must be missing something. Info on this would be great.
Rubber odor on boots can be an issue even though it's not human odor. On new boots washing them does nothing. You need to store them during the off season in raw earth, like in a wheel barrow filled with dirt up to the boots throats.
John, what about how you go about your out of state hunts as a video topic ?
I'll check on that as I thought I did one on that.
Would there be an email address I can use to offer episode suggestions? The forum here is not "long" enough. And yes, I'll attempt to keep it as a wide audience vice individual. TY in advance. Topics might include October lull and early season acorns, scents, etc., all of it will come from personal experience.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍, the hunting shows on tv suck if your the average person hunting state land or even some private property
Absolutely, they are so out of touch with what hunting is.
When is your new book coming out?
A topic i would like to see is how mature deer enter feed trees
That would be a good one.
@@johneberhart4062 that would be a great one !
Arrow video what u shoot weight all the good stuff
I'm trying to get my son Joe to do a video on arrows and heads as he is a bow tech. Think we might get it done this year.
Rampola buck is real.
Corn out in front of them,you mean a bait pile. That’s why people hate hunters. And ya been bow hunting 40+years never baited and proud of it.
TV guys oftentimes corn the roads (very popular on managed properties in Texas and on TV shows) or spread shell corn out in front of their blinds in the grass so it can't be seen on camera.
Just curious, if you were hunting late season and a hunter couldn't see u up in tree with that sweet camo, wouldn't he see your orange?
Orange is only enforced during gun season.
Gordon has it right, no orange concerns outside of gun season.
You're doing something right if you got that many bucks on the wall.
Thanks
I wear 2 to 3 layers of scentlok. Ive beat many deer once i had a yote pass by 40 yards downwind i ended up getting a 30 yard shot at him laced him. Some guys are going to be Democrats some guys are going to be anti scent control. It's an enormous project to change their mind.
E-scouting for out of state hunts. Than boots on ground.
Yep
Oh yeah, remember to include the female athletes/ competitors in your comparisons.
John McEnroe touched on that one!!!!!!!!!
Ground blinds and ground blind tactics
Good one and yes.
Not pop ups though.
Fred Bear probably hunted unpressured deer
I don’t really know this John eberhart , but does he hunt over corn piles and food plots?
A little research will answer that question.
Really!
When you gonna admit the Mitch buck is real????
Cover Big Woods hunting, not ag country.
Open camo like the one in this video is how all camo should be..Open patterns work the best in breaking up a hunters outline! I where ASAT Camo and Predator camouflage! I like that camo you are whoring!
Both great patterns and ScentLok made a suit in Predator grey and it didn't sell well. Unfortunately, most hunters buy what is marketed the best which are Mossy Oak and Realtree patterns.
Ment to say whereing..spell check changed my word lol
Forgot to mention I bin wearing Sent Loc since 1995 I still got original suit..Plus many others but there all ones you wear underneath my camo I wear..
That's a year longer than me. I bought my first suit in 1996 but didn't get the proper process down where I could disregard the wind until 1997.@@jakeheshizer6937
Has chronic wasting disease changed the way you hunt?
C'mon, John. Someone who doesn't use scent control can't be in the conversation? I personally love your scent control regimen, but this is just ludicrous. I respect the fact that you're unwavering in your beliefs but the vast majority of the truly great hunters have never used scent control and never will.
To be honest, using scent loc effectively could arguably make killing big deer easier. Couldn't we say those who don't use scent loc, and consistently shoot the biggest deer in their area, are really the best hunters? Doesn't it take more skill to take every single factor into account rather than disregarding the wind?
Ignore the haters! You don't need to respond to the people who don't believe in your processes. The internet is full of keyboard warriors. Saying that those who don't use scent control can't be considered in the conversation hurts your credibility in my opinion.
Using ScentLok definitely makes killing big bucks easier and that's exactly why if 2 equally skilled hunters were hunting on the same property and one was using ScentLok correctly and the other had to pay attention to wind on every hunt, the hunter that didn't have to pay attention to the wind would have a huge advantage over time. How do you measure their greatness, by the antlers on their walls. You can only measure a hunters greatness against competition and the more advantage you have over your competition, the more you kill and the higher up the pyramid you can be. There is no best hunter though.
Yea but they cheated lol
Alright!!!
