Absolutely hands down the BEST bird hunting videos on TH-cam! I have a ton of respect for you as an upland hunter. Keep up the good work and keep cranking out the videos!
Wow, thank you! 👊
ГДЕ Это какое вс стране
For those of you who don't hunt Chukar that much, let me say that this guy does EXTREMELY well solo. In my opinion, chukar are the most difficult bird to hunt by yourself. With multiple people, usually someone gets a shot with proper dog work. I had to laugh at some many of those situations you encountered because I've been there too! I don't know if this helps at all, but generally speaking, if I miss chukar that are flying down hill, it's because I shoot over the top of them. On those really steep canyons, those birds are flying DOWN so much and it's deceptive to the eye until you get used to it. FYI, there are a TON of grouse in that area and it's fun hunting because their habitat at least for ruffies is very localized in canyons. You will find a bunch of birds in certain spots!
Very true. Shooting down a cliff at a Chukar flying downhill is the hardest shot I have ever encountered. Thanks for the knowledge 👊
Nice shooting. Downhill you had best shooting underneath them
It is really cool to see those Huns hanging out in the mountains with the Chukars. Beautiful scenery and outstanding dog work.
Eric, of all the chukar channels I follow, you do the best job os commenting on the hunt. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Steve!
Eric, in the first covey , it looks like you dropped two birds with your first shot. Check the video 3:10
Man I haven't hunted chucker in years. I almost forgot how fun/frustrating it is. We've had to kick the bush they were in some days and they jumped 200 yards wild other days. We hunted in North East California and Nevada. I hope to get at it again one day. Thanks for sharing!👍
Yep, they don’t call them devil birds for nothing! 😁
This has to be some of the best upland footage out there. I really enjoy your hunts great job on the editing as well.
Very kind, thanks! 👍
As always Eric great dog work, great scenery great video thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Eric. Thanks for posting these videos man. Really enjoy watching all your adventures. Between family and job I only go on one cross country bird hunting trip a year. So being able to watch your endeavors let’s me live vicariously through you a little bit. Much appreciated.
I’m glad you enjoy them, thanks!
It’s hard to tell how steep the ground is. Some beautiful work you did up there. Thanks for your work on making these videos! Oh, and Tubby was doing great!
I’ve been hun hunting in the winter for the past 10 years. My area and hunting experience mirrors yours. Watching your videos is just like I’m in the field with you.
I'm thinking your part mountain goat don't think I would make it thanks for the great video and the love you show your dogs we are nothing without them and it shows you care for them and they are great dogs you are blessed
Thank you Kevin!
Great video! Love to see the dogs work and the birds hitting the ground!
Thanks!
Awesome video, your videos have changed a big part of my life and I really look forward to doing this one day
Very cool, thanks!
Birds are making a slow comeback in the canyon. Once we have the snow, they mostly move below Hells Canyon. You should come up in November for Grouse hunting in our area. It’s been just crazy hunting this year. Nice birds!
That said by Andy Roy. But, like you said, it also gives you a bad gut feeling of not getting that bird for the work the dog has done. Have the same feeling every time my flushers look at me when I miss. I felt that way when you "missed". Outstanding Eric. From one Hoosier to the other. Take Care.
Thanks bud! 👊
We used to have a covy of hungarians on my grandparents farm. I loved the surprise of running into those little beauties on pheasant hunts when they were still to be found in SW Minnesota. Those chuckars are sure a lot better eating than those sharptails you been getting.
Thanks for showing you picking up your shells! It's a subtle reminder for everybody to pick theirs up to! If you can track them down in hells canyon, anybody can pick theirs up!
that looked like a great time...my buddy that i hunt with all time told me he wants to go there this fall..i told him to watch your video part 1..... i told him we both have to get in way better shape to go up & down the cliffs!!! thanks for sharing the beautiful video with us & be safe!!!
Yeah…hit the stairclimber 😜 Thanks Paul!
Incredible action in awesome setting. Very inspiring. Thanks, Eric.
Thanks!
Absolutely great video. You do a great job with these videos. Love the editing as well. Great dogs!!
Thank you!
I’ve hunted those canyons, the footing is really bad, but I killed Huns and chukars with sore knees and falling too! I love your explictives, I’ve said them too! I love this video, it brings back so many memories! At one point I was getting so close to coveys I switched to 20 gauge semi auto beretta with 26” barrel in modified choke! Lighter and easier to carry, more shells too! What a great video! Thank you!
Yes, it’s an amazing place to hunt isn’t it!
Yes, it’s amazing! You are great shot, I’m watching your other videos too! It looks like you hunt alone quite a bit! It’s amazing your ethos semi auto isn’t beat up, I’ve gone to plastic stocks, because when i fall I break them once in awhile (wood ones), them rocks in the canyons are like marbles! I love your dogs too! I love wirehairs too! The wirehairs are smart and tough! I know I will watch your videos more than once!👍 Don’t tell anyone, but Brownlee and Oxbow reservoirs are full of smallmouth bass, largies, and other fish! Ishot two chukars once down at the water, a guy in a bass boat got them for me and brought them to shore! Thanks again!
😆 that’s awesome!
Fantastic video, great work by Tubs, what a place to hunt birds😁😁
Great job capturing a day in Hells Canyon chasing birds and moments only a few experience. I appreciate you showing your misses and frustration as well as success. If it were easy it wouldn't be as captivating and a bag full of birds would not be as sweet. Great dog work and good shooting. Takes me back a couple weeks.
Thank you! 👊
And nice canyon wren song you put in the video.
Niiice, that steep slope shot was epic. Man I can’t wait to learn how to hunt birds
Hi Eric! I just found your channel and subscribed after I filmed my first wild bird hunt this past January. Your videos are great and it gives me something to aspire to. I hunt the same areas and it's very tough country. Especially with that much snow. Your dogs are awesome and really pin down the birds. Well done and I look forward to following your adventures and maybe I'll bump into you on the hill one day.
Thank you! I glad you enjoy the videos. Cheers!
Absolutely incredible...thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Great video and I was excited to see the boat you're using. I have been considering the same one to access locations in Oregon and Washington.
That's good I'm now with you man you are my friend
Si un jour je vis ce genre de chasse avec mes setters, je pourrai mourir! Bravo vraiment vous êtes de bon chasseurs
Merci! 👍
Eric, Enjoy the videos. Been chasing them birds a long time. Ive always said the problem with chukar videos is it very hard to do by ones self and who would follow you just to film? .With that said you do a very good job of getting the filming done. Someone following you would be next level. One thing I would like to see since you have GPS, is how far are the dogs running on each hunt and more importantly, how far are you walking each day. I think it would give folks a better understanding of what's involved to play this game. Since I would like to see more of your videos, please be careful in that little boat . The wind can come up hard and you wont get back in that thing, or least it will be done at great risk!
Thanks Bryan!
Yes the boat is sketchy. I had supplies in it in case I got stranded for awhile.
absolutely great landscape, great hunt, your channel deserve more viewers, congrats
Thank you! 👊
Awesome dude
Lovely content over all
I love shot at 18:00 not an easy one
Pretty interesting at 25:00
The last day was Not your day it happens sometime
Goodluck for next hunt 👍
Thanks man 👊
Your the best hope to see you out there next season!
Thanks Dean! 👊
Awesome video and work Eric! Enjoyed following along for another badass season. Best of luck in 2022, cheers.
Thanks man!
Another great clip bud , God bless
Thanks!
Awesome hunt with great dog work! Looks like you really had to work for it with that terrain.
Absolutely, thanks!
The balloons are good luck, alway birds within close proximity
Fantastic video. I love chukar hunting.
Thanks
Eric, how did you like the Boss ammo. I saw that you also use Winchester and Remington. Which is your fav shotshell for chukar so far?
I switched to #5’s this year and it seemed like I got better results with less cripples.
I always enjoy these videos. Really nice! I miss more than my share of birds (definitely more than you do) and get frustrated. The frustration isn't good for my dogs... so trying to improve at least that part of the equation... LOL! Thanks for posting!
Thanks Brady! 👊
congratulations. very nice hunt. 24.45 is the most very beautiful 😊😊 . greetings from Turkey
Great video and scenery as usuall, and excellent dogs, love the way you trained them and the great job they do. Í hunt wild red partridge here in Spain with a gsp dog, really hard to approach them... chukars has similar behaviour.
Thanks David! 👍
Very good hunting
Enjoy your stuff Eric!
Thank you!
I do not have pointing dogs (i have 3 working springer spaniels), however, i just love to see videos of hunting dogs doing what they are supposed to do. Your videos with your gwps are easily the most enjoyable and informative out there. Thanks for that. Hunting is just part of it though, i therefore kindly ask you to consider just a minute of life in camp, feeding dogs, field dressing, some recipes maybe. I fully understand if you wont though. Keep up the good work, br fm dk
Those are good suggestions thanks. I’m glad you enjoy the videos 👍
I agree , love to see what gear you carry for a trip like this too.
Wildfire outdoors: I almost know for a fact that questions about Erics gear and setup of his truck will be channelled to his patreon page, absolutely nothing wrong with that, that is his prerogative. I do not want any secrets. What I am asking, is just a few seconds of the small things that is an integral part of a hunting. We dont have any mountains here in dk, I do however have been hunting in mountains in both Norway and Sweden. Therefore I am just curious how he handles camplife with his dogs after a whole day hiking in the snow and the slopes, and then get up 14 hours later and then do it all over again. Curiosity killed the cat! Best regards🦧🐶🐶&🐶
Love the vids. can hardly wait for next season. most of my chukar hunts go like your last day - or worse! PS - your tweety birds were Gray-crowned Rosy Finches, and the nest site was likely Prairie Falcon or Golden Eagle (I couldn't see it that well)..
Cool…thanks for the info 👍
I recognized some of the places you hunted. Great chukar hunting there. Really nice filming and interesting commentary. Thanks. If you get out this way next year try the breaks around the owyhee Reservoir south of where you filmed this. This is another great area if the hatch is good.
Hey man. Love your videos. Would you be up for making one on how you plan trips? Particularly how you scout and find birds before the hunt. That’d be great.
I have videos like this on my Patreon page www.patreon.com/ericforrester
Perfect! Thanks.
are you gonna bless us with new videos soon? :D love your videos
One of these days I’d love to hunt that area.!
"How did I not hit that Bird!" LOL! Glad I'm not the only one who says that!! Made me laugh!
Yeah that was a bad one 🤦🏻♂️
Just love watching your hunts, This hunting in Hells Canyon is just some of the toughest terrain i can imagine. Really dont like seeing you hunting like this alone. If you slipped and rolled an ankle it would be a bitch getting out of there. Be safe and take a friend. Looking forward to more. Thankyou and those wonderful dogs.
Awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats
Great hunting 👌 👍
Thanks for sharing Eric! Always love watching your videos and listening to your commentary. Great dog work as always! The cover photo for this video is awesome! Is this your last video for the season??
Sadly yes. Let the countdown begin!
👍👍👍very nice 👍👍👍
Nice dogs...
Stellar!
Would love a video breakdown of your gear and what you travel with!
You can find videos like that and more on my Patreon page if you are interested 👍www.patreon.com/ericforrester
Man I am impressed awesome video by a great hunter, enjoy man
MASHALLAH
I worked in hells canyon for two years. all i have to say is theres a reason they call it hells canyon lol.
If you don't curse at least once or twice when chukar hunting, you're doing it wrong. Great hunt! Great dogs!
😆 Absolutely!
Nice very good
Soooo steeep..... video will never do it justice. You are kind of a beast.
😁👊
Great Footage, are you just using GoPros? Beautiful Scenary, Beautiful Dogs, what more can someone ask for?
Yes. Thanks!
Mükemmel av olmuş. Devamını dilerim. 👏
Teşekkürler
Awesome video and dog work. Where did you pickup that gun box at?
The drawer system is by Decked 👍
Great hunt, watched a few times and just now noticed your black stocking cap "3-1 Matthew 28:19", good stuff brother! love your videos!
Thank you!
I always wear gloves chukar hunting just because I’ve fallen soo many times and planted my hand into a jagged rock !
That’s wise. 👍
Fantástico video!
Thanks!
You do a great job on your videos and nice dog work. Next time call me first and I'll go with ya. Especially Montana hunts.
14:13 👌🏼
Merhaba Eric Muhteşem bir doğa kuş popülasyonu yüksek her avcının hayalini kurduğu bir av. Köpeklerin harika çok güzel bir av olmuş. Çekim kalitesi çok güzel. Bir avcı olarak bu videoyu izlemek harika. Seni tebrik ediyorum.
Ve Türk avcılarının ava çıkarken şans dilediklerini ilettiği tabirle RASTGELE 😀
Teşekkürler. Sana da iyi şanslar!
👏👏
Eric, you may not know this, but the force of gravity is stronger in Hells Canyon is stronger, always pulling down hill.
That has to be true because that’s totally the way it feels! 😆
@@ericforrester1 The beauty force is higher too, it causes waves of awe and humility.
Yes…beautiful and humbling for sure
Hi great video good dogs!!! What is your shotgun and what number of shotshell you use???
Benelli Ethos with 6’s usually
@@ericforrester1 thanks a lot!!!have a good time with your dogs!!!
Kesinlikle çok kaliteli içerik üreticisi, anı yaşatıyor tebrikler. Kullanılan fişek kaç gram ve kaç numara. Tüfek markası nedir ?
Harika bir avcı,iyi köpekler ve muhteşem manzaralar...👍👍👍
Teşekkürler
@@ericforrester1 bol şans
Great job.what STATE are you Hunting?
Be careful out there!
Great video, glad I found it. What is the gun and ammo that you are using?
Thanks. Benelli Ethos 12ga Boss #5’s
Bu av yaptığın yer hangi ülke kınalı ve çil çok güzel popülasyon süper kârda keklik avı müthiş olmuş rasgele 👋👍
Добрый день..Охотник..смотрю вас с большим удовольствием..сам охотник охота на кеклика
What kind of dogs are you using and do you hunt solo? Pretty dangerous out in the middle of nowhere by yourself. It's always on the back of my mind when I go out alone.
German wirehaired pointers.
Ghostpointwirehars.com
the you place is dream and you can make many catches, here in Italy a few a day, I do not like that you risk falling and getting hurt, enjoy your dream country and abundant hunting because what you take in a day we în Italy we can take it in a month of hunting, a heartfelt greeting friend far away
Thank you! Yes, we are very fortunate in the US.
A Falcon could probably do the job, Quicker and Easier.
Was it two birds that got shot on the first big covey with one shot? One fell in the creek but the other one I think went down too. That looks like a ton of fun!
Wow I didn’t see that! Good eye. I wish I would have noticed at the time.
@@ericforrester1 It's so hard to tell! By the way, yo have inspired me to take a trip out there to hunt. This is now in my bucket list!
Excellent, good luck!👍
Come to turkey for chukar hunting.
I just bought a bird dog and I’m hoping to start bird hunting. Problem is that I’m from western NC, so we basically just have grouse and woodcock. I’d love to quail hunt with my dog, maybe even pheasant. Any advice on hunting places like kansas, Id like to hunt public land or private owned farm land with her, but I don’t know where to start
The Kansas website has great maps and information that can help you identify good areas. Start by looking at where bird numbers are good and then look for places to hunt in those areas. You can identify potential spots with satellite imagery, looking for cover and food.
Greetings! I observed two dog breeds, Drahthaars and French (?) or German Braques, and a mix of the shorthaired and wirehaired breeds? Is that correct?
They are all German Wirehairs.
@@ericforrester1 thank you very much! May your barrels always be hot!
👍👍👍
Lovely
where do you come from
Indiana
Nice video! What brand of boat is that?
Love the video as always! As someone who lives local, you need some khatoola microspikes. No more slips, even on rock + dirt. Some guys use semi-auto crampons, but takes the right kind of boot
Good tip, thanks!
looks unreasonable to not have a buddy along.
👍👍👍👍👋👋
Eric I think season is over now ?
Here in Pakistan Feb 15 is the last day of upland games۔
Most seasons are over by March 1st
😄👍👍👍❤
wanderfull hunt eric but so danger this canyon for alone hunting if you fall down you need someone
