I'm sure you guys get sick and tired of me posting my workshop stuff on this site, but you have to realize that my goal is to help hunters be more successful and convert as many as possible over to using a harness. Of course I make some money off the workshops and only started doing them because of taking a huge pay cut on my regular job.

Anyway, here goes for what I currently have booked for 2018 concerning Expo seminar dates and 2 day Whitetail Workshop dates and there are a lot of 2017 attendee testimonials on a different thread on this site.


2018 Workshop dates:

Weekend Whitetail Workshops (1 day in field and 1 day interactive seminar) will be held in Central Michigan and the projected dates are: Feb. 24/25, March 10/11, April 14/15 and 28/29, May 12/13. More dates will follow.

Here's what the workshops are all about:

*****Whether you’re hunting public land, knock-on-doors for free permission, family owned, leased or managed property, or you travel hunt; attending an Eberhart’s Whitetail Workshop or having John personally scout a property will provide the insights to make you a serious threat to any buck you pursue.

Make no mistake, Eberhart’s Whitetail Workshops are NOT land management workshops, they are educational workshops for hunters with the desire to learn how and what to do to take mature bucks no matter where they currently hunt or will hunt in the future.

Why John Eberhart? In 53 seasons John’s scouted 14 public parcels and several dozen knock-on-doors for free permission properties in Michigan and has taken fifty seven 2 ½ years old and older bucks with his bow from those properties with 30 of them making the Commemorative Bucks of Michigan record book.

Since 1997 John’s taken 19 P&Y class bucks on his 21 week long out of state bowhunting trips and they came from 13 different properties in 5 different states. Knowing what to look for when scouting and how to properly set up on it and hunt it obviously had a lot to do with his 90 plus percent success rate as none of those parcels were pre visited and scouted prior to the actual hunting trips.

The real qualifier that separates John from most others is he’s never; owned land, hunted a relative’s property or paid a dime to hunt anywhere, choosing to exclusively hunt heavily pressured public lands, free walk-on, and knock on doors for free permission properties.

Many hunters spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars of their hard earned money on; constantly upgrading their hunting equipment, buying new gadgets advertised on TV, bad ass looking vehicles, motion cameras, bait, land management, tricked out quads, hunting stands, etc., with the thought process that it will magically make them more successful, and that can’t be farther from the truth.

Then there’s the aspect of utilizing your time to its fullest potential because free time is not only precious; it has value. Scouting, location preparation, practicing, hunting and even traveling to hunt all consume the limited free time many hunters have, especially those with kids and families, so take advantage of John’s 53 years of experience, knowledge, and credentials by allowing him to show and tell in detail how to utilize your time to its fullest potential.

There’s an old saying that’s very true, “it’s not the bow, it’s the Indian” and if you ever saw John’s bow, you’d know it’s true because while it's effective, it's archaic. John wants you to become that Indian as well because whether you have the best equipment money can buy or not is irrelevant if your hunting skill and strategy doesn’t allow you the opportunity to utilize it.

Spending a lot of time on stand in locations not well-suited for daytime mature buck activity should never be an acceptable strategy or plan, so make this one time investment to assure you’re in the right types of places, their prepared properly, your scent control regimen is adequate, and you’re there at the right times of day and season. After all doesn’t it get a bit old taking nice pictures of good bucks on motion camera's and then not being able to kill them.
