John Eberhart is a self-taught hunter and considers that to be one of the main reasons he does things outside the norm. He attributes his success on the very fact that he wasn’t mentored by relatives or friends on old school hunting methods. He learned through trial and error and due to his serious nature, desire to succeed and attention to detail, through the years he’s developed tactics and strategies that have equated to consistent success on mature bucks in heavily pressured areas.
