I’m a little curious on the 4th shot you take on the big flush where your shoot into the flock. I hunt “similar” terrain here in the PNW in Idaho Oregon and Washington. It may be presumptuous of me…. But I don’t know of anywhere that allows more than 3 in the gun. If you have the time, Let me know. Thanks
As always great to watch excellent dog work and also someone who appreciates how fortunate to have such amazing expanses of land available to hunt over .
what an amazing video great dog work good shooting we appreciate your work With your years of hunting what is the best boot that you’ve used that is water proof and light weight?
Another fantastic video of chukar hunting. Your spots are amazing we hunt chukars in their motherland (middle east) but it seems that your continent will have more chukars on the upcoming years. Unconscious urbanization destroys the population of wildlife every year in our country. It is great to see that still there are big herds of chukars exist somewhere in the earth.
hey eric i just wanted to say that this is a great video once again, but I just had one question. What do you do when you shoot a bird in its wing and the dog brings it to you still alive, just like the bird at the thirteen minute mark of the video? This question is purely out of curiosity. Keep up the great work!!!
Hi there, I’ve been recently watching your videos. I’m a new bird hunter in Las Vegas who recently got a GSP back in March. I’ve been training it, but I’m a new hunter and wanted to ask how you find your locations. Las Vegas and its surroundings can be tough, but I want to start getting out with my dog and having some success. I recently got OnXhunt and I’m learning how to use it. What suggestions would you give a new hunter like myself on how to find bird locations? Thanks for your content.
1. Get a NV guzzler map. Chukar need water. 2. Look at the areas NV department of wildlife does their counts. They don't do counts in areas with no chukar. 3. Ask big game hunters. Bird hunters won't give up their spots but deer/elk hunters will tell you where they saw birds. 4. Go look for them. Water + Cheatgrass+ rocks and sage = birds.
Welcome to the uplands! I have some detailed videos about this on my Patreon page if you’re interested. First step is educating yourself about the birds and their preferred habitat. Google, state websites, birder sites, etc.
Another spectacular video in classic chukar habitat: rock, sage, grass + topography = chukar. I find complacency is a function of opportunity. It disappears when birds (or chances) are scarce... only to be replaced by 'tightness' when your mind is telling you to make the most of this flush since you travelled all this way, haven't seen a bird all day, etc. And then you miss from the self-imposed pressure. That's been my experience, anyway 😂
What’s up with the 4th shell in the gun? I wasn’t aware of any areas that you can have more than 3 in the gun. Maybe I’m wrong though. I have only been hunting a few years
Great stuff. You remain the undisputed champion of upland hunting videos. Thanks.
Your videos are second to none and love the dog work. Always look forward to them.
Great job Eric, love how Riggs does the ‘drive by’ toss to you…👊🏻🇺🇸
Congratulations Eric a great day, great flocks of chukas, good hunting season, greetings👋🏼
Thanks Eric, good to hear your appreciation of the hunt, your dogs, the birds and the country.
Kudos!

There are states that do.

Remind me what shell, what size shot, and choke you are using?
Welcome to Idaho and the best bird year in 30 years!
that was a awesome hunt!!! Merry Christmas to you & your family & Tom & family as well...
Thanks Paul, same to you and yours!
Absolute banner chukar year! Every spot is covered in them this year, glad you got into some. And always great footage
what an amazing video great dog work good shooting we appreciate your work
With your years of hunting what is the best boot that you’ve used that is water proof and light weight?
Great video, wonderful dog work. How many shells do you have to carry?
On these hunt’s I usually carry a full box.
Замечательная охота! Какое ружьë у тебя и какой чок вкручен?
Thanks. Benelli Ethos improved cylinder

We have a lot of development too but we still have vast public lands to hunt. We are very fortunate.
Once people show up the chukar disappear. We've seen it in the lower columbia. If the mountain bikers are riding your hunting spot, you're hosed.
Gotta love nevada@@ericforrester1
Nice dog work again, they continue to shine. We definitely have to take advantage of these times, no one is promised tomorrow!!
Awesome video! Out of curiosity, do you ever run into or worry about rattlesnakes when traversing that terrain?
No because I only hunt these places after it’s cold and they den up.

simply amazing , thanks mr eric

I haven’t.
Hi! Eric, in what region do YOU Hunt chukar?
Lower 48
I’m glad you are witnessing the best our country has to offer.

Spectacular country...if you haven't walked this stuff, it is hard to appreciate how difficult it is to get these sorts of situations.
So true 👊
What size shot r u useing?
6
Awesome hunt
Your shooting is on point. Minus that big flock shot but we all do that lol

@@robertday8102 depends on the State regulations.. some states have no shell limit for upland birds
Great video as usual!!! But I’m older ,I need to hunt in easier terrain, like your last video! Lol
My word that's some rugged country.
"review on hold"
Eric you never said "hold"
