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!

[@ericforrester1]

Thanks! 👊

[@caltonlaw2247]

I second that! Best bird hunting videos on the internet right now.

[@D_A_D_]

My favorite part of your videos is how much you show love to your dogs. Some people treat hunting dogs like tools, and that always leaves a bad taste in my mouth. To me, they're companions first and foremost.

[@ericforrester1]

Absolutely, thanks!

[@Allirys]

That big smile face after that triple says everything. What an amazing adventure, man! Its a pleasure to see your dogs working! Please, more.

[@ericforrester1]

Thank you, more to come! 👍

[@dat-dog]

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

[@ericforrester1]

Thank you! 👊

[@jeffbitton1836]

Great video - as always!

[@levilightning]

Awesome! Looks like you had an amazing time

[@AfzaalWardag]

Wow so beautiful landscape with great numbers of birds Riggs & tubbs at their best ❤ I really love watching riggs when he throws birds in your lap I always have to fight with my bullet when getting the birds 😢

[@ericforrester1]

😁 thanks!

[@dgoodman1484]

Wow, great content. Thanks for sharing that with us! 👍🏼

[@cameronginn5947]

Great video, happy to see you enjoying my home. Dogs look great and you’re looking healthy 👍🏽

[@marvinlacsina2662]

Gorgeous Video everytime! Good job Eric!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻… those first 3 birds you got and the beautiful dog work are the highlight! Can’t wait for the next one. Thanks for sharing!

[@azquailadventures]

Awesome! Riggs Rigglin' down the hill was SAWEET!!! i Love the way he 'Throws' you the birds when he retrieves!🤣

[@ericforrester1]

😆 Yeah he started do that in trials and now he’s doing it on wild birds too.

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Awesome video and great dog work Eric! Love it!

[@ericforrester1]

Thanks!

[@rogerschrotenboer2166]

As always a pleasure to watch, Riggs is coming along nicely,absolutely love it, we are still chasing birds here in Montana. Currently trying to find some Franklin grouse and then doing more sharp tail next week.

[@danneumann9554]

Thanks for sharing. Love your videos and look forward to this time of year when you start cranking them out. You even inspired our group to head to Idaho last year to chase chukar! Great memories, and cannot wait to get back out there.

[@ericforrester1]

That’s awesome, thanks!

[@bobbyscott8024]

Well done! Beautiful scenery and beautiful dogs! From Sophia, N.C.

[@Dagothurk]

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!

[@deananderson8225]

People ask what’s it’s like and I tell them to watch your videos! As good as it gets.

[@ericforrester1]

Thanks 👊

[@user-ov6ei5ed2y]

Great stuff. Love your videos.

[@ericforrester1]

Thanks!

[@Talons_N_Tails]

I love how Riggs tosses the birds to you lol Great video! Truly enjoy following your hunts…

[@ericforrester1]

😁 Thanks!

[@user-pc7hb9hi9j]

so cool you actually got solid points. after the opener they dont typically stay tight like that.

[@bddmhopp5]

It’s all the dog…never would get birds without them.

[@brainleavy6934]

Great work Erick young rigs going to make a great dog nice to see tub’s doing he’s thing thanks for sharing from Ireland 🇮🇪

Good video, thanks.

[@Intermtn9736]

Awesome as always! Hint: we find chukar at 3800-5k feet, altitude isn’t everything, steep and rocky with good cover is

[@user-pc7hb9hi9j]

ive been finding them above 6k ft this year

[@chrismortenson9608]

Eric, welcome to Nevada man. Your Videos are top Notch. Have employed some of your techniques on point approach to covey. Keep up the great work. Happy hunting to you sir. Cheers

[@ericforrester1]

Thanks bro 👊

[@longduck1]

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]

I definitely don’t get them all but I pick up a lot of hulls. Mine and others too. 👍

[@abduulkadirpolat1449]

Hey eric! Thoose straight parkours is’nt enough for enough but the video is magnificent.Thx

[@in.hindsight]

Always enjoyed your videos. Wish I could just pack up the truck and head out too.

[@franciscoagonia3448]

GREAT VIDEO,

[@travisarcher5101]

Awesome video! So jealous! I had one of your videos pop up on my feed two weeks ago and I've watched almost every single video now! Love watching your dogs work. My lab isn't like that but I mean he's a lab not a wire hair lol

[@ericforrester1]

Thanks. I’m glad you are enjoying them!

[@w8coach]

Another great video. I’m from Northern Nevada and hunt over Wirehairs too. Cascade dogs but had a deposit in on a Bone Point pup last year but they had some issues so am waiting to see what happens this year. I sure like your dogs!

[@ericforrester1]

Thanks! Those are great lines. 👍

[@matthewm3930]

Nevada is a spectacular place.

[@mikebell108]

Absolutely beautiful, Love your videos

[@ericforrester1]

Thank you!

[@NoIwont]

cotdamit... I need to know what your packing and shell selection. Love the crop check, them red legged devils like cheat grass as far ad I know. Vid editing is as good as Eric et al huntin in the field. Doesn't get any better wherever Eric goes. More content and less sleep sir. Best to you yours this holiday season. Bravo. oh yeah, when in a desert...water and cover. Onwerdz!

This is the first time I see a rabbit in your videos.

[@CazandoconRafa7501]

Very good hunt, greetings!👋

[@ericforrester1]

Thanks!

[@montrichins6040]

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.

[@masterclassanonymous1292]

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.

[@Imragnar1]

Thanks for the wet blanket mr brister wtf eric has the best vids if you dont like em leave him alone

[@johncschwartz4885]

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!

[@klhrlh]

Looks like you took advantage of the 5 shell limit in Nevada:)

[@KingsOutdoorLife]

Since I am a few days late, I am not commenting on the beautiful scenery this time, or the great dog work, or the good shooting, nor will I mention the good editing. I don't what else to talk about so just keep them coming! I want to compare notes on a potential NV spot I have identified some day.

[@ericforrester1]

Thanks! 👊

[@WilMcQueary]

I appreciate the video on a new landscape/state. Chukar in Nevada on my bucket list. Are you heading to Arizona next for quail hunting with Spencer? Riggs definitely coming into his own, thats always fun to watch. looking foward to future videos.

[@ericforrester1]

Yep, I’ll be in AZ in Dec 👍

[@himalayanmonalhunting.2041]

Never seen such a real time videos. From Pakistan.

[@ademtagani-rz7cl]

That was awesome!!! Love the videos, but if you got a shot cam that would be real cool to see where you are shooting. Keep it up man

[@ericforrester1]

Thank you!

[@hpsperre]

You should consider coming to Norway and try hunt Capercaillie and black grouse with us! :D

[@DBWELDER100]

The green sprouts are cheatgrass. I believe the reddish brown seeds are buckwheat.

[@mmfruitveg]

Great video.....Brings back good memories from 20 years ago!...lol I need to get up to speed on your tracking tools for your pointers! May I ask what system your using?...Back when we hunted chukars I only had collars with a simple handheld control for tone and stimulation....that system your using is SLICK!!.........Good shooting as well!

[@ericforrester1]

Thanks. I use a Garmin Alpha 300i.

[@richc4231]

Nevada terrain looks a little easier than Hells Canyon! As always Eric great dogs great retrieving another great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@ericforrester1]

Thank you! 👊

We’ve got chukar country in Nevada that is equally suited to wear out a pair of boots!

No doubt! 🏔️🤘

Great stuff as always. What choke and load are you shooting for Chukars?

[@andersonlirio2626]

Hi Eric ! I follow you here on KZbin and your videos are great! Where was this? I’ve moved to NV recently from FL and this is such a different e environment and I’m taking in any tips I can

[@jamesjesmer3877]

So,where exactly are you in this video? Great dogs!! What size shot do you shoot for these birds?

[@austinpaul2170]

Fantastic dogs ! I sure like the checker meat over the Huns !

Thanks. No plans for ptarmigan at the moment. KS video is next.

@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!

[@ericforrester1]

That’s you are getting out. I was in NV in early November. Chukar hunting doesn’t have to be in the steep stuff but often it’s where the best is.

Dog work, camera work.. Great Channel. How many human miles/hours are you putting on each day? Kinda curious to compare to my outings. It's been few and far between where I can get on that many covies.

[@ericforrester1]

Thanks. Depends on terrain. 6-9 miles maybe.

[@Chukartramp]

That's chukar hunting energy sucker. I'm not sure about the red seeds, but probably cheet grass. We found a lot of sunflower in chukar crops in lower hells this year.

Nice videos. But why do you need to take 2 and 3 birds from a covey? It is beyond me. If all is about dog work, 1 bird should be enough and then move on to another covey. Just my opinion. Thanks for the videos

[@user-si8we3ux7z]

You should be ashamed of yourself.the way you cleaned those birds was wasteful. There's a lot of meat on those breast. And any one that throws the legs away should not be hunting
