Eric, having hunted these birds in the mountain west for 26 years now, I can fully appreciate the satisfaction you express in the “hunting ecstacy”. The dog work is REMARKABLE. I’ve hunted over a lot of bird dogs, but none of the caliber displayed here. To hold points for 20+min on wild devil birds is amazing. As one who has missed just as many as I’ve shot (truthfully missed more than connected, just too prideful to admit it), your shooting % is also remarkable. Not many chase these birds the way they deserve (as you have displayed), so it’s hard for one to appreciate what you’re doing here, until they’ve done it.
Thank you. You’re right, it’s difficult to understand the experience until you have done it. I enjoy hearing from people like you that get it! 👊
Beautiful dog work I've been there with great dogs no feeling like it when they will hold the birds until you get there well done!
Absolutely fulfilling to watch. Can't imagine experiencing it in person. Epic
Thank you for sharing this SUBLIME Chukar Hunting loved it !
Breathtaking landscapes! You certainly have to be fit to go hunting in that terrain! Ah, and hats off to your dog! Fantastic job! There are situations where there are so many birds flying away that it must be difficult to pick the one you want to shoot! Amazing! Congratulations!
Thank you!
HI dear ERIC , Im Iranian Chukar hunter , I love your method and your Skil , Thank you man 🖐️🙏💚🌸
Thank you! 👊
"when you cant put it into words" you describe it perfectly!
When you say "ok" and the dog doesn't move! I love it!
Amazing!!!! As an over the hill bird hunter I will never be able to hunt chukar because of the mountain terrain. Thanks for the beautiful scenery and the amazing dog work. Have a great summer!
Thanks, I’m glad you liked it!

Excellent dog
Chukars Always Have a Chance:
Another great video - Moxie's addicted to chukar. When I was 15, I saw 2 guys in our hunting party walk in on a chukar holding in a single bush on a hillside. I said to an older, experienced hunter with me, "that chukar has no chance". He replied, "chukar always have a chance." Those two hunters walked up to the bush, one above and one below. When they were 10 feet away, the bird exploded straight up and went right over their heads in the direction they had just come from. We watched these two hunters twist around, stumbling, trying to shoot on a steep hillside and hitting nothing but air. Then the old guy restated, "chukars always have a chance". I have tons of respect for those birds. Eric, you got so close to those birds, super good work using your boots to get in position. Thanks for sharing your hunting trips.
So true, these birds command respect for sure!
Only one word can describe that hunt: AWESOME!! 👍👍
Congratulations Eric, phenomenal season, dog work and videography.. absolutely love your uploads.. can’t wait to see the magic you weave in 2023
Thanks I appreciate that!
I really enjoyed your hunt. Hard work great dog work excellent shooting. One for the books!
@randychambers3162 thank you!
Once again, simply awsome!
Top dog, top terrain, top shoot.
Spectacular journey.
Congratulation
Thank you!
Eric, I, too, know the high of being alone with my dogs, enjoying the physical nature of upland bird hunting. Seeing the beauty of the landscape, the wild animals around me. It's the genetic wiring of a hunter. Great of you to share your experiences!
That’s what it’s all about…thanks!
Thanks Eric for the best upland bird hunting videos on UA-cam. I love how you capture the birds flushing. Moxie is an unbelievable dog. Great job training her to hunt. Any type of upland birds.
Thanks man! 👊
Hehehe! “He looked me in the eye and lived”….. Priceless! Amazing season man, we’ll done to you and your dogs.
Thanks!

Awesome hunt!!! Your dogs are second to none!
Thanks!

That was a great series of films. Thanks for that. Your dogs, from young pups to tried and tested, did you proud!
Thanks you…yes they did! 👍
Fantastic video Eric your dogs are always top notch and the scenery was beautiful. I’m glad your living your dream and letting us see it all with you. Your sure going to have some beautiful memories to look back on. Really looking forward to your new ones. Thank you.

So good. Chukar hunting while so challenging is also so addictive. Awesome dog work.
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing,beautiful hunting in amazing place !
the best!
Looks so much fun! Chukars are on my bucket list but I don't know, I'm afraid of heights. Looking down those canyons will take my legs out from under me. Love the camera work!
fantastic film as allways!!
Probably the best shooter of chukars. Really amazing videos. Respect and love from Pakistan
Epic day and Trip.
Thanks Kent!
This is the type of content I love to see. Good job man 💯,I found this Chanel recently and will now stay around to watch your hunts/adventures. Keep up the good work 🤙
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoy it!
Enjoyed every moment joining you and your awesome dogs in Hells Canyon, thanks for sharing😀
Thank you!
Awesome just awesome
Hey Eric! Im saying as a man that have seen so much hunting videos.When I see your videos quality I understood your effort.Congratulations!
Thank you!
Amazing! This series was awesome. As always thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Great job Eric!
Awesome place , smart dog , great hunting like always , I've been watching your videos I really enjoy watching them and at the same time I'm jealous and I'm thinking no wonder he always look good and doesn't age
😆👊
NO Eric thank you for awesome videos, it feels like I am hunting along with you.
Thanks boss
I’m glad you enjoy them! 👍
Grandes caçadas, belas paisagens e muito bons cães. Parabéns e obrigado por estes filmes !!!
Super enjoyable man. I can appreciate your words on how special it all is. Here in Utah, we’ve had a couple bad drought years that have wiped out our wild chukar numbers. This year has been a bit better, and now we’ve got huge snow levels - so we’ll see how the spring goes.
Anyway… I truly enjoy your content, how you set up the hunts and explain most points and scenarios. Congratulations on a fine season and some amazing dog work. On top of all - you somehow film it all. Amazing.
Well done.
Thank you. I’m you liked it!
Estos videos son una fabula y los perros que tienes son increibles, enhorabuena y esperando los siguientes videos, UN SALUDO.
Wow😯😍
wow! great way to wrap up the season. Some beautiful (and sometimes sketchy!) country. Not sure my knees could take it anymore 🤔
Mine don’t like it either! 😁
Awesome video
Thanks eri ya keep us going to season.
wow wow, very good job, your dogs are spectacular, 👍👍👍 greetings from Las Vegas NV.
Thank you!
Eric, your content, dog work and shooting are strong! I shoot birds. No dogs anymore. Just hire guides and go do it. But your living that life a lot of us wish we had the balls to go adventure and “live”. Well done, amigo!
Thanks, I’m very fortunate!
amazing job man...loved every second of it...keep it up
Thank you! 👍
Love your videos. Awesome dogs. Hope to get back to chucker hunting next year when I’m completely healed up from my back surgery. Hopefully that’s possible!!
Thanks and good luck to you!
Hi Eric and Moxy too, what a wonderful place to end your season (It terrifies me just looking at it, ann). That was a really rugged place. Can you tell us if there are any English partridge in them there hills? We loved every vid, hope there are plenty more to come next season. You're dogs are all great and what a splendid job they did!! Malc and Ann UK xxx
This place has several species nearby. Chukar, Hungarian Partridge, ruffed grouse, dusky grouse, and valley quail.
Wow, amazing hunt bro...
Thanks
Another great vid Eric. Best out there. If I could handle the terrain I'd be planning a trip to HC.
You are da man! Wonderful video and a great hunt!
Thanks man!
Bucket list area. You’re a lucky man!
Nice dog!!!!!! Good hunting 💪🏻
Hi Eric. I do not have high blood pressure but, watching you scale that first rock outcropping, it went up !!! 20 minutes on a point-WOW. Later. Doug.
😁👍
Very good shooting
People say Idaho doesn’t have steep mountains…ha!
What country...one is bird hunting, not mountain climbing Eric. Moxie is terrific ad always. You were born to chase the red legged devils. A priviledge to watch, enjoy and even jog an old memory or two. Stay easy and enjoy the ride called life.
GO MOXIE!
Outstanding hunt and filming.
Thank you, I appreciate that!
You part goat man that was a great day’s hunting moxie made some great work out off them birds and as soon as you hear her bark you no them birds still well out in front off her and you made sure that last single was going down 😂thanks very much for sharing Eric as I a long way away from hells canon you make me feel I rite there enjoy the rest and looking forward to seeing more in the not to long future I hope ☘️
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Beautiful video, and your experience is gained through the many years you spend in the mountains ...I hunt like you, I photograph like you, and I document my moments. This bird is very beautiful, and hunting it requires a lot of effort. I am following you from Syria ❤
Yes, Chukar hunting is very unique. Thanks for watching! 👍
Awesome dog and amazing fhunt. Your videos are by far the best, you bring us with you. However.. I would pass on climbing those "cliffs" I don't do heights. Thanks for the experience
😁 Thanks!
Damn, if I was ever invited to a hunt with you, don’t care how far it is weather it’s driving or flying there, I’m there. Great dogs and great hunt.
Thanks bud!
@@ericforrester1 What is the name of the camera
I have a GoPro 10
Beautiful country! That bird at the 13:30 mark was great. Do birds go back to their buddies and tell of their escape and close encounters? Thanks again for sharing the season with us.
That gave him a good story to tell his buddies! 😆
I see why you do it and why you keep going back, good for you!!
Always good to see your videos brother , do you also sell finished dogs ? I’m looking for a good chukar dog and looking forward to hunt with a wired-hair pointer this coming year if I can find one , I have 6 GSP and wanted to add one more friend , thank you 🙏🏼
We sell started dogs occasionally. If you are interested, please feel free to send us a message through our website ghostpointwirehairs.com
Love all your videos. My son and I are starting to plan a trip out west. We have Shorthairs and a Griffon. We really have no clue where to begin. Would love to talk and get some advice, we have never done this before.
That’s great! I have an entire video dedicated to planning a trip. You can find it on my Patreon page. www.patreon.com/ericforrester
Best upland videos on UA-cam! What time of the year is this?
These videos are awesome!! No hard feelings if you don’t want to answer this question but we’re you on the Oregon side or the idaho side? I only ask because I live in boise hahaha
Eric, I live and hunt birds in idaho, dig your vids. You should try sharpies in the SE
Brilliant as usual outstanding dog work I say you sleep well after all that walking
😁 thanks!
It's got to be hard for you to go back to Indiana after hunting in the west.
I was excited to hear how you prepare, seems the video got cut short.
What is your favorite Chucker shot shell? Brand,shot size, type & length. Love your videos.🐦💥🍗
I go back and forth but, last year I used Boss #5’s and I had good results. The birds seemed to fall dead more often but it also could have been better shot selection. I have used #6 in the past.
Hi Eric, my name is Erik and I was looking to take my 80 year old dad on a pheasant hunt to eastern Montana and was wondering if you would recommend a spot over their on public land. Let me know if you don’t mind sharing. Great video, love Hells Canyon, I live in Twin Falls ID.
If you don't fall down while shooting in utter shock at least once...you're not chukar hunting! Great stuff as always Eric.
True! 😁
My 20 gauge o/u has scratches and wood gouges all over it, I would tell someone don't ever hunt chuckar with a gun you ain't ready to drop on the rocks a dozen times in a hunt day.
Exactly!
Eric. You would have to have chosen the best boot for extreme terrain and comfort by now. Would you share your boot knowledge? Brand and model? Thanks! BTW, if i was a younger man, i would have me a couple of those wire hairs!! No birds left here in Arkansas but i was lucky enough to have hunted them when there were coveys of quail virtually everywhere. My dad had some of the best English pointers around with an occasional setter. It truly was the sport of kings. You have the best bird hunting channel by far.
I’m running a couple pairs of Salewa’s. They fit me well and are comfortable 👍
Does your wife watch your videos when you get into the “saucy” situations? I don’t think mine would be able to watch haha. Another great one!
😆 she doesn’t like it when I go the Hells Canyon!
Hello Eric, great videos. Can you please share what is your gear for videos ( Camera, drone etc) and setup?
GoPro and DJI drone
I love checking out your videos, what shotgun and gauge are you using?
In this video I’m using my Benelli Ethos 12ga
I agree completely with kylegraham993. The scenery and the feeling of harvesting a chukar, it is like a trophy every time.
I am curious what kind of boat that is that you were using.
It is a Saturn Kaboat. 👍
13:30 en güzel an ☺
Eric do you have specific videos or training tips that you do to train your hunt dead so well?
It’s just genetics, prey drive. 👍
Hey Eric, awesome video. What kind of shotgun are you shooting when you go on these long steep hunts?
I take my trusty Benelli Ethos 👍
As hard as Moxey worked I think you should cook some of those birds for her.
😁👍
What is the boat you are using in the video?
