Anthony Ferro is a passionate bird hunter and bird dog owner. With her German shorthaired pointers, he journeys 2000 miles to the unknown terrain of Hells Canyon for his first change at bord hunting chukar.

You have perfectly synopsized chukar hunting. Each bird harvested is a trophy, and hunters must suffer to appreciate the wildness of these birds. Well done as always!
Seeing those hills brings such emotion..just because they exist and are there waiting to be hunted.
Hamilton Louis it’s amazing country!
that kind of emotion at 6:56 , i get u!
The message is extremely relatable and accurately describes a large majority of bird hunters. I need to put Hell's Canyon on the list.
I watch this video every day and still gets me emotional. I love this guy’s attitude and push to do what he does every day. Keep Kicking Dirt
Seth O'Neal dogs died in a house fire
Wow great video
Hunted pheasants all my life under Labs and Setters
Switched over to the Munsterlanders after a trip to SD
Really great dog
Thank you
Good video, I've been hunting upland birds for over 30 years. You captured what it's like.
this gave me goosebumps the whole time, honestly brought me to tears
Here is how I described this film to the friends and family I sent it to:
‘When you guys have 8 minutes to take this in, do it. It goes a long way to help explain and understand why we do what we do. I was drawn in w the opening line.’
One of your best films yet!!
Thank you! We have been dying to share it. His passion really came through.
A beautiful production. It really captures the ''feeling'' of upland huting. Great job!!!!
Thank you! That is what we strive to capture.
Awesome video as always, but unless I missed it, you never show a chukar. Those were all huns.
Every one of your films is fantastic! but this one, this one, it just touches the soul. I cannot wait to be able to hunt over my pup next year in similar country here in BC. Awesome film,👏👏👏👏
Amazing how different shooting is in America in comparison to the uk, I go partridge shooting most weeks we’ll shoot 100+ birds in a few hours, in traditional driven style shooting we have here. But I can still totally appreciate the fun in walked up style of hunting you guys do
I'm guessing your birds aren't wild?
Great film. Got on some birds this morning and missed now i got chukar fever!
Beautiful words, and a remarkable video, good sir... excellent looking dogs, as well...
Your passion for the outdoors is apparent, and appreciated...
Thank you...
Loved it. Thanks for the stoke.
Alexander Davis thanks you! Opening day cannot come soon enough.
Awesome, ive always been drawn to pheasants all my life. So, to hear the keep going is real relatable. I was introduced to my first gsh female puppy at a sportsmen for wildlife banquet. Live action , acholol, and a lively crowd. Abby became my 750 dollars hangover, best thing ever happened. Nothing is more pleasing than hunting with a smart upland bird dog. I'm hooked for life.
Anthony! Super film and storytelling man! I got goosebumps!
Ben Warner he certainly has some real passion.
I relate! My first bird with my falcon was just as joy filled! Good job!
Spent 4 years at Mountain Home AFB. Chased Chukars up and down the canyons and never got one because I did not have a dog. (And I missed a lot)
Now I'm 62 and want to go back. I have a new Britt pup and I feel that we would have a chance to have a good bird dinner together. But the body is not as young as I was in 1984.
Hope I don't drop dead in the mountains while chasing those ridiculous birds!
Beautifully done! Looking forward to the magazine.
Beautiful video. I grew up hunting with upland bird dogs in the 70s-80s on wild birds. I took a hiatus for some years had some wetland dogs. The allure of upland hunting is so very different... I felt a strong desire to have that walk in the woods and fields with my dog again so I now have Barolo a year old English Setter. Upland has an elegance that is hard for others to understand until they have seen a dog really working then holding point as you walk up to flush. Nothing like it! It’s great when you get some birds but also still fairly great when you don’t .
just watched the video this AM and read about your story: I hope you are well, I hope you are with a new puppy, enjoying the fields and feathers of Autumn. I had to put down my dog this past summer due to cancer, hardest thing I have ever done in my 46 years of life. All dogs go to heaven and yours are there chasing those pheasants, quail, huns, chukars all day everyday.
"Why clime the Everest? Because it's there - George Mallory"
This video made me so emotional. I am a stoic man... but there something that touches the inner strings of my soul.... and that is the upland and the rolling hills of the west.
Th only reason there would be to climb Everest is if there were chukars on the Top!.
Amazing film!
Matthew Mallory thank you be sure to check out our other Project Upland films!
Hey man..... first rule of Chukar hunting, DON'T TELL PEOPLE YOUR SPOTS :) Loved it, very well done
Isaac Jarrett if only Hells Canyon was not so identifiable we could have been way more subtle. Haha. Thank you!
most people don't have it in them for chukar hunting anyways... seems like they're always right at the top, and after a long steep hike with a heavy shotgun if you finally bust a covey and then miss your shots because you were out of breath and didn't have your gun ready, it can be pretty disheartening hahah (you might be able to tell I'm talking from personal experience lol but I still love it)
Great stuff in my back yard.....
Awesome job!!
william josie thank you!
God bless you brother , keep it up , grew up on chukar hunting , not a lot of them in California, coming to Idaho this year with my 3 short haired to hunt for the first time , can’t wait
Sounds like an awesome adventure!
Can’t wait
I'm impressed with your story. same story as you. started 2 years ago. No one plays hunt, and no one encourages, but I encourage myself. I go to jungle alone and face it if it is in my luck. But I'm hopefull about my future that I will become a good hunter😊.
Outstanding!
UnderFortyYards thank you!
Great video. I loved the footage.
Great story!
Chad Chaumont thank you! He was so passionate about upland and bird dogs that he made it easy to capture!
wow I don't even know what chucker hunting is.. I watched a video on duck hunting cause I'm an avid ducker .. but damn this video gives me cold chills such an awesome performance of the editor
my god this was great
This video made me cry😭😭😭😭
bob brown I just watched it again. Knowing Gnarli and Radar are gone but watching them in this perfect film got to me too. Looking forward to seeing Smoke and Fuego on Instagram during their first season. Circle of life.
Film looks good, nice job. Maybe less talking would be nice though. Could cut out like half of the words and make it more enjoyable IMHO. Great scenery, would love to get out there.
I grew up in KC as well. We would head north for Quail when I was in High School. Up around Maryvilse. I’m about to get my first dog. My son is 10. I can’t wait. This video is amazing!
Excellent shots brother which number choke and cartridge do you use for chukar hunting ?
EPIC!!!!
I saw fences in the back ground of some shots in this video and the rolling hills were much gentler than many of the videos where chukars are being hunted on public land. I'm thinking most of this was shot on private land maybe not directly on Hell's Canyon. Would like to know where this is as the land shown would be easy walking.
I live 20 miles from Hells Canyon, so you can use dogs on the Idaho side but not the Oregon right?
Grouse and Woodcock are my addiction . Total of 3 woodcock and 5 ruff grouse went into my vest this season. Not gonna mention the number of 20ga.#6 I shot to harvest those 8 birds but I just say it was more than 8...my pointer poodle AJ knows ! We can't wait for the leafs to change again!
We are as excited as you for Fall!
@@ProjectUpland Appalachia has an old warmth I know you would appreciate! Make some time for her while you're breathing! Logging roads and timber cuts that are growing back thick for the ruff grouse but the woodcock are the needles in the haystack friend!
come and buy more of our home
But why’d they do a close up of a hun instead of a chukar??
This dudes posts on social media are super cringeworthy and it's clear he loves him some of him.
Per the current trend in hunting cinema, a bit too melodramatic.
Fair enough Jack! We do love to convey the emotions of our experiences. And we always hunt in slow motion.... ok JK on that part. haha
This is a beautiful video. I had the pleasure of meeting Anthony a few years ago, and his energy and passion strikes me as something that spreads with anyone that is around him at the time. Just recently, the home he was in was involved in a total loss fire. Along with the total loss, he has lost one of his best buddies, his dog Radar, and his other Dog Gnarly is holding on, but sustained major injuries from the fire as well.
A gofundme has been set up. I apologize if it is inappropriate to post this info here.

We cannot even fathom what it is like for him to be going through this. We posted about it today to help rally our community around him.

I live in emmett born and raised I hunted those spots since I could only carry a bb gun and watch the older kids hunt I still go to hell's canyon for the epic days. But you can get birds there
Nathan, I sure miss you...he died in hells Canyon on a chukar hun at 40, my cousin.
The things we do for some birds.
presure?
Chukar. Elk hunting, for birds. With a good dog, even better than elk.
...... ok...yer week
Actually grey partridge not a chucker
Outfuckingstanding.
Well done beta boy.
Chukars will mess with your head.
Drove past the good stuff! Don’t broadcast the spots bro! If you know the country you recognize the country....
This is so funny, when he showed the map I was like "NOOOOO, don't tell them where you saw birds!". First rule of chukar hunting. I had already identified some of the places where they were, from the video.
Just find the worst place to hike. That's where the chukars are, ID, UT, NV, or OR
The crying was a little gay.
