Ravin pays lobbyists tons of money to hang out and talk representatives to legalizing cross bows then they sell thousands of cross bows and make tons of money. That's exactly how cross bows get legalized for able bodied people.
I hunted wv back in the 90s n early 2000s. I had permission to hunt 2 river bottom farms and 300 acres in hill country. The river bottom properties definitely had bigger bucks. Saw but never shot a couple PnY class deer 125-145” on those farms but in the hill country a 120” 8pt was the biggest deer I saw and shot. I know guys that still hunt wv n they’ve taken several 140” deer in the past 10 years
I’m still waiting for him to admit that the vast majority of his record book (100 inch deer) bucks were taken during the 70s-90s when nearly nobody’s hunting season revolved around archery hunting.
What’s that got to do with anything? Fewer deer , little to no technology like today as far as I’m concerned he had it more difficult then to accomplish what he has

Hey I don’t have problem with crossbows but they saying that’s cheating but they are using cell cameras and cameras that’s weird right using recurve bow is the real bow hunting come on guys don’t complain about crossbows
You're correct Michael, my comment was badly spoken. There are a lot of dedicated trad bowhunters but I know a few bowhunters that went to trad bows as an excuse. They were taking 2 1/2 year old bucks with compounds and not getting much credit from their hunting buddies, so they went to trad bows and are now getting a bit more credit for taking the same sized bucks. Personally, I don't care what anyone shoots as long as they're happy with it.
Appreciate the context, John. I'm with you but not crossbows. Like your experiences of those trad guys, I've seen much with crossbow hunters that make me sick as a former bowhunter ed instructor. Having said that it may just be my small one man's experiences and if so I am wrong. On a personal note you and Gene Wensel are at the top of my respect list. You are a modern gift from God to archers. Thank you for all you share.
The OG. He was killing mature bucks on public land using mobile systems before it was cool. John is the man.
Idc what anyone says John Eberhart is a nice guy that tells you what he thinks. Like a man should.
Only one word needed to define Mr.Eberhart . Goat 🐐
Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Poacher

I may have missed it, but did Mr. Eberhart mention when this new book would be coming out?
John is great. Super helpful info! Like John said Fred Bear is the Goat.

@@jasonsuratt6913 exactly...compound bows back then were either slower than todays youth bows or a death trap of cables and cams haha
Call will be between saddle hunting and tree stand hunting people there’s a lot of people that poke fun at saddle hunting
Greg Godfrey calls him the godfather of saddle hunting for a reason.

Trad bow comment assanine. You are amazing but don't get traditional archery.
