    Yours are the best upland videos out there. Production is top-notch for self-filmed hunts, you focus on the dog work (both before and after the shot!) and you talk to your dogs like I talk to mine. Keep it up!

    This is the most well articulated and diagnostic upland bird hunting I have ever seen. I also am a Nevada Native, and I have been hunting chukar for 29 years here. Your video is 100 percent the genuine article.

    The landscape is absolutely gorgeous! And the drive and motivation of your dogs is amazing! It´s great that you try to tell them that they have to fetch until they are directly in front of you. Also with the 7th bird! Keep it up

    Nice work and video. I did notice you walking on without picking up empty hulls. It happens but you have a lot of follows so showing them that you don't leave litter on the mountain in the form of spent shells would be a good thing. Your dogs are great, keep up the good work!

    • @ericforrester1

    It is interesting how different chukar are from place to place. Having lived in Utah, hunted Nevada, and now living in Idaho no two places are alike. Seems like the GSPs and GWPs were made to hunt chukar.

    Great triple! Its just like ruffies here in WA. I used to follow instructions of looking for younger fir/ aspen trees. But have easily found out these birds act completely different from their east coast and even mid state cousins. Good hunting!

    What part of Nevada are you hunting?! If you ever try in the Winnemucca area, you should have dinner at least once at the Martin Hotel. Lots of good chukar hunting in the area!
    Also, The Griddle is an excellent place for breakfast!

    @masterclassanonymous1292 Рік тому

    He deserves a tremendous amount of respect for the quality of hunts he puts together and the ability to deliver content on this subject.
    Now for his shooting. It is not a double unless the 2nd bird is shot before the first bird that has been shot hits the ground. It is not a triple unless the third bird is shot before both the first and second bird that has been shot has hit the ground.

    @EricForrester -- found your channel a year or so ago -- best upland channel(well really upland hunting videos) Period! Watched a lot of others over the years and most aren't that well done. Bravo sir!
    **
    What time of year were you in Nevada? I'd like to travel more out of my state to hunt upland birds -- Nevada Chukar terrain looks like I can handle it --- ha --- When you were in Idaho -- this flatlander Kansan -- HECK NO -- I'm not part mountain goat....ha.
    **
    I'll credit your videos with having a bit of motivation to travel so far -- made it to ND and SD end of Oct with my brother -- we need to learn the area better but were able to see some huns, sharpies and got some pheasants -- was a great trip!
