Best bird hunting/dog working channel on UA-cam! Thanks for taking the time to film, edit, and upload your wonderful adventures!
Wow thank you Jeff! 👊
Looks to be paramount in Oregon and idaho this upcoming season. High grass levels, water replenished on the landscapes. Been seeing birds, and tons of grasshoppers.
I always laugh when you say "wow" during the flush and your shot. Your instinctual awe of these animals is what it is all about! Can't wait for the season to start here in WA
😆 yeah I don’t even realize I do it!
Thanks Eric. These videos get me through the off-season!
Beautiful shots, I hope you will include in your wonderful group the shotkam, good luck my friend
Great video, as always! Thanks for producing and posting these!
Thanks Brady!
Another awesome video Eric. Hands down some of the best footage out there. I'm looking forward to seeing this season's hunts!
Thanks David!👊
Caught me heading out to shoot some clays to get ready for this season, but had to watch. I'm heading to MT for the opener myself this year, first time really targeting them. Looking forward to it.
Getting prepared…good on ya! 👍 Good luck out there!
Awesome, amazing terrain, dog work and shooting! Definitely gets me pumped for the upcoming season! Thank you!
Thanks!
Thanks Eric for the recap !. Season cannot come soon enough. Keepin' cool down there in Bloomington ! Not so much here in Brownsburg
Been waiting for this!
Excellent content! Well done, Eric!
Hell Yeah Eric! Me and my pup Ghost Point Maximus are ready to rock for the season!!!!
Awesome! 🤘Have fun!
My favorite part of your videos is how excited you get for your dogs. Best upland videos on UA-cam.
Glad you like them, thank you! 👍
so happy to see new video out. cant wait for the season to start, unfortunately im back in school so i wont be able to get out for the season much
Another top drawer video. Got me excited for this fall.
Me too! 👍
Eric love these videos they are tops
Just drove from Bozeman to Minnesota to pick up my new EB pup. Was pleasantly surprised how green eastern Montana still is. And I saw pheasants everywhere in southern ND. Super stoked for this season and the new dog for 2023's season. See you out there!
Fantastic 👍 good luck with the pup!
Heading out first time. I'm only 66 Ha!
Got a new final rise vests and two new 7 month old pups- sisters. Can't wait. Thanks Eric you are top shelf 👍
Have fun out there!
Best upland videos out there.
Thanks Jonathan! 👊
Awesome video Eric. You can't beat the sight of a good bird dog.
Thanks!
Μπράβο Eric τέλειο κυνηγει με όμορφες φάσεις,να είσαι καλά εσύ και τα σκυλάκια σου!
Awesome recap. I have to make it out there one day!
Cue the Owen Wilson voice, "Wow"
that was a great season highlights!!! now you just have to top it this season;-) easier said then done sometimes!!! we are headed to Minnesota for grouse & woodcock opener next month!!! good luck this year!!!
Thanks, good luck to you too!
Love the videos! Great dog work and that INCLUDES the dog roading in on a that running covey of birds 60-70 yards out. Question: how do you ensure that the camera is pointing where you need it to versus having slid down too far or pushed up/back too far?
Thanks! The camera just takes practice and some getting used to.
No better way to spend a lunch break!!! Can’t wait for season to start!!
Eric, would you mind doing an overall gear review? If you have time. Thank you!
I second this notion.
Thanks for taking the time to record your hunts. Ive noticed you switch shot size around. could you go into that a little bit.
Great videos however, it would be interesting to know what gun and choke you use on different hunts. I enjoy the dog work as I also, get excited working my WPG
Your my favorite bird hunting channel thks
Ps thks for showing me places ill never get to hunt a guy can dream though
Thanks!
Think I just passed you on the highway! Thanks for the wave, happy hunting!
😁 you too!
As always, entertaining and beautiful dog work and scenery. I would dearly love to hunt some of the areas you have been to. Age and monetary status has put a stopper on that, but you take me there in your videos.
Have recommended your channel to friends to show them what the west is truly like. Spent four years at Mountain Home AFB in Idaho and chased Valley Quail, Pheasants, and ONE Sage Grouse.
Question: Ever consider a double barrel? You seem to mostly shoot only twice. Most doubles are lighter than your auto and you get the benefit of two chokes if you want.
I'm running 16 and 28ga side by sides and I love the light weight for these six-plus decade tired old bones.
Have fun and stay safe.
Thank you!
Thanks Roger! Yes I have a couple over unders that I get out occasionally but I tend to shoot better with my semi. I guess I prefer the balance of the Ethos.
Eric just a video suggestion... It would be interesting hear you discuss what type of ground you are looking for when you scouting. Headed to SD in late September with my 1 year old WPG. No expectations on her. Have a good season! Enjoy the video immensely. I want a segment everyday before I do home.
Thanks for the suggestion. Good luck with your pup this year!
Hello. I love the footage and the dog work. I am a long time upland hunter, this will be my 27th season pursuing upland game and it never gets old. I have a very fine GSP that has hunted birds all over the country and i was wondering what region your Montana sage grouse hunts were in. I have hunted several times around Fort Peck-Wolf Point area but never saw a sage grouse. I plan on going back to MT in the next 2 seasons . The only 4 native bird species I have left to harvest are Sage Grouse, Prairie Chicken, Ptarmigan and Valley Quail. I also want to do a dedicated Chukar trip at some point but thats a whole other story. Keep up the quality hunting and thanks for sharing with us.
Hi Kent. I won’t talk spots publicly but if you want to send me a message through our website, I’ll chat about general areas. 👍 ghostpointwirehairs.com
We've received more rain so far in 2022 than I've seen in 25 years. Deadly and damaging floods in Montana of all places. We'll see what it did with the birds in a few weeks. Not been seeing as many Sharpies and Pheasant along the roads as I usually do so hope that isn't a bad omen.
Glad you got rain so the cover can bounce back…I just hope it wasn’t too much 😬
Took my 2yr old Bruno out for his first tune up for this coming fall. After seeing this, I'm stoked so he'll get a few extra sessions in for sure lol...
Nice! 👍
Awesome videos! Just subbed. What vest do you use?
Final Rise
Nice
Hey Eric what vest do you use?
Final Rise
@@ericforrester1 i use Marsupial 🦘
Eric do you feel every year around August September that you can't wait till season starts like me 😁 ??
Absolutely!
Great video, what size shot do you like to use?
7.5
What bags do you use to put in your dead birds
Hey! Can you for video on how you find spots to hunt? I want to travel with my dog, but am intimidated by the idea of finding not just places to hunt, but places with birds. Love the videos!
I have videos like this and more on my Patreon page www.patreon.com/ericforrester
Thanks!
Love those doubles!!
Another great video. As someone who is going to Wyoming to hunt sage grouse for the first time do you do any snake training or snake vaccines when you're hunting in areas where snakes are around? What's your methods of handling this. Thanks for another great video.
I don’t do any snake preparation except have some Benadryl in my pack. IMO, the main thing is stay out of the areas that look “snakey”-prairie dog towns, rocky areas, etc. That said, I think snake avoidance is a good idea and definitely educate yourself on the signs of a snake bite.
@@ericforrester1 thank you. Ive got a pretty healthy knowledge of snakes their habitat and a bite but it's good to hear another opinion, I've got one kickass Vizsla that is very bold and runs big as my first bird dog and would hate to see something happen.
Waiting anxiously for the new Montana footage, my son and I met you, he got his first double of sage grouse this year, no sharpies, we are having a hard time finding the sharpies
New video should be out tomorrow. Congratulations on the Sage grouse!
@@ericforrester1 I don’t know if you remember our encounter we chased you down to shake your hand and tell what fans we are lol, my son Izrael got into grouse because of you lol
I do remember…tell Izrael I’m impressed!
@@ericforrester1 happy hunting brother, and keep ‘em coming we love your content and we love your dogs
Will do, thanks! 👊
Eric, what kind of hydration pack do you carry? I can’t find one without a bite valve on the end?
Mine has a shutoff valve and it comes with a rubber bite piece on the end but you can remove it to let the water flow freely. I found it on Amazon.
Hey Eric have you ever hunted the Canadian Prairies?
Not yet 😁
I have noticed you have Boss shotshells in your gun drawer. I considering that brand for pheasant and Sharptails. What is your go to shell lenght and shot size?
Most of the season I shoot 2 3/4” with 7.5…then I shoot 5 or 6 at chukar.
Sure looks like a blast. Is this public land? Also, are Sharptail good eating?
Yes all publicly accessible. Yes sharptail are good if not overcooked
@@ericforrester1 Thanks man. It's a long drive for me, but I may do it.
Dogs super 👌👌👌👌👍
How do you feel about your gun sling? I was thinking of putting one on my gun for chukar season but was wondering if it would be more unhelpful than helpful
It’s handy in the really steep stuff but not totally necessary. I’m not a fan otherwise.
What choke and shot size do you use for Sharpies and Huns?
Open chokes and 7.5’s
Hi Eric. I am going to start hunting chukar, which shot do you recommend for a 12 gauge shotgun?
I have been using 5 or 6 depending on how far out the birds are 👍
thanks a lot
👍👌
Dogs 👌👌👌👌👌
Do you ever worry about Rattlesnakes with your dogs in Montana or the Nebraska Sandhills, and how do you steer clear of them?
Yes, it is a concern. I try to stay away from prairie dog towns, rocky areas, and other snakey spots. I’ve had a dog bit before but it was in SD in November…go figure 🤷🏻♂️
@ericforrester1 Thanks for the information. I'm headed to the Sandhills for grouse and was concerned. Thanks for letting me know.
Luxo mt bom
Will you hunt Sage Grouse again?
Maybe but it’s not high on my list.
You don't get flip flop birds in hells canyon. Some local bozeman dog breeders (Tru grit) say that the bird hunting isn't good anymore In Montana. Is that just on the western side?
😆 I guess it depends on what bird you are going after.
thanks for the video montana is heaven for men but hell for woman an horses lol
Tebrikler güzel av yapıyorsun
Teşekkürler!
How bad are they snakes out there early season ? Always hear horror stories…….
They are around, but you can limit the risk depending on where/when you hunt.
I want to get me one to if you can tell me please
I use a Final Rise vest
Fake!! We have no birds in Montana! 😅😂🤣😂
