HOT Kansas Upland Hunt! Quail and Pheasant

[@centraliowaoutdoors]

You are definitely one of the most under rated upland content creators out there. The videos are so well done i cant believe they dont have hundreds of thousands of views each. Keep doing what you do man. I really enjoy them.

[@ericforrester1]

Wow, thank you! 👊

[@martinmartinez-xb8nw]

Absolutelly agree

[@Imragnar1]

Always wait for your vids

[@BrotherKyler]

Good numbers of quail in my part of southeast Kansas this year. Multiple big coveys hanging out around the house. Pheasants have made a significant comeback out in western Kansas, too. Looking forward to the upcoming season!

[@kriskeene3910]

Awesome video. You capture it to perfection. I love how you let the dogs be imperfect. I think they hunt better for you and love it even more. Keep up the great work. I hope to get to Kansas one day.

[@ericforrester1]

Thanks.

[@KingsOutdoorLife]

Great stuff as usual. Never seen wild quail hold like that one in the corn field. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!

[@mikenixon5936]

Had to watch again in anticipation of our trip coming up this year.

[@deananderson8225]

Great stuff as always. You inspired me to go back to Kansas!

[@ericforrester1]

Glad to hear it!

[@garya9875]

Nice to see you and the dogs back at it. Tubbs don't miss anything great video Eric I always enjoy.

Amazing video, thank you, Eric. Can you make a video on your guns? What chokes do you use cartridges etc.

[@levilightning]

Awesome as usual!

I always look forward to your videos Eric especially with your brother. Great dogs great filming. Thanks for sharing.

[@ericforrester1]

Thank you! 👊

[@ventureoutdoorswithkirk]

Yeah the quail seem to be getting better here in KS, according to the hunters and farmers I've talked to. You guys seem to do well every year.

[@sawyerplume3321]

Love the dog work! Still chasing after Michigan Grouse. Arlo’s first year has been an amazing success. Minus some shooting problems bahaha.

[@ericforrester1]

😁 Thanks!

[@michellevazquez1203]

Always enjoy your videos. But my heart is smiling big to see that Cici is out getting some hunting time ❤

[@ericforrester1]

Yep, she can still get it done!

[@brainleavy6934]

Great hunting great dog work as always love to see the dogs do so well in hard conditions and love to see Cc still putting it up to the younger generations to come will only make better dogs out off them Happy New Year looking forward to seeing more thanks from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@ericforrester1]

Thank you!

[@Private_Idaho_1]

I hunt all the upland species available here in Idaho and the surrounding states. I love your videos especially the chukar hunting ones which is my personal favorite bird to hunt. In fact, I'm going on a chukar hunt as soon as I finish my coffee.😉

[@ericforrester1]

I’m jealous! I’m anxiously awaiting my last chukar trip in a couple weeks!

[@Private_Idaho_1]

@@ericforrester1 Chukar numbers are good here in Idaho. You have inspired me to go down to AZ for a late season quail hunt.

[@mikenixon5936]

Eric, we found the sand spurs to be awful as well. Glad to see you had a nice hunt in Kansas this year, we were in Kansas opening week as well and did very well. I have had friends that went out and cut there trips short due to not finding birds.

[@ericforrester1]

Yes, I know some who had really tough hunts.

[@theprairiewoodsmen3383]

I'm very happy for you. Enjoy those quail hoping to head south in Iowa to try to hunt a few coveys.

Good luck!

I think we all "screw the pooch" like that sometimes. Me more than most sometimes...😅😅😅

[@jacobbrincat5774]

Love your content man, those dogs are just phenomenal, if god ever blesses me with the opportunity to move to the US i will surely contact you for a dog or 2. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming. One suggestion would be to implement a shotkam, apart from helping you obtain some amazing footage, it will surely help us see your hits and misses closer

[@ericforrester1]

Thank you! Shotkam might be coming soon😉

[@jacobbrincat5774]

@@ericforrester1 glad to hear👌

[@michaelblaze502]

Love your content, just subscribed. Just curious on what all shotguns do you use for your hunts and do you bring certain ones for certain hunts?

[@connertinkler]

Awesome content sir. Love it! New Kansas resident here from southern OK where it's all whitetails, waterfowl, and hogs. Bought a GWP to get serious about KS upland. What general area of Kansas are you in? I use onX daily, but there is so much public land in KS that it is hard to narrow down to an area to get experience with. Any towns or specific area recommendations without giving away your honey holes?

[@uplandknight5782]

Been on the sidelines since October 18th with a detached retina and wanna thank you for keeping me entertained for another season Eric. I was lucky to get one hunt in out in Saskatchewan.....not quail but those huns are our Quail lol. Happy New Year to you Eric!

[@ericforrester1]

Get well soon and happy new year to you as well!

[@garya9875]

Been there done that. 13 months of surgery's and follow up doctor appointments only thing that helped me through it all was bird hunting videos like Eric's. Hope all goes well for you.

[@Imragnar1]

Ya eric tore my knee day b4 thanksgivig havent been able 2 get out for 7 weeks😢 but your vids help

[@ericforrester1]

@Imragnar1 good. Get well soon 👍

[@MrMx297]

Always love watching your videos. Great dog work. I run wirehairs as well and i am looking for a puppy in the next year or so. Do you shave your wirehairs for the warmer weather hunting or are your dogs just that tight coated?

[@ericforrester1]

Tight coated. We prefer tight to medium coats as hunters.

[@aaronharris8002]

Eric we are in Kansas having a hard time finding birds if you have any tips it would make my day. Great vids keep it up

[@michaeldeegan3560]

Grass, edges/ cover , and grain.

[@ericforrester1]

Yes, and make sure the cover includes a shrubby component.

[@danieldownes3319]

Eric, did you hunt private or public/WIHA property? Thanks and good videos!

[@ericforrester1]

@danieldownes3319 public

[@diyhgg8674]

I may have missed it but are you hunting the Kansas walk-in access areas or a private hunt area? Thanks

[@ericforrester1]

WIHA 👍

[@vanderwell07ify]

Wish Iowa had that many quail

[@callmecamo2]

We hunted that first spot a couple weeks ago. If EF was there, guess we did something right.

[@stevemaynard9003]

Great videos. Why do you alternate between an over under and automatic ?

[@ericforrester1]

Just depends on what I’m hunting…sometimes just my mood. The over under is fast and better for snap shooting.

[@taylorgrothe490]

Great shooting as always! Are you shooting an 828u in this video? I have one in a 20 gauge and I can’t find a replacement sight that fits the thread hole to save my life and I think you may have an aftermarket sight on your gun? Thanks!

[@ericforrester1]

Yes, it’s and 828u with an aftermarket sight. 👍

[@taylorgrothe490]

what aftermarket sight are you using? I'm having a difficult finding one. Thanks!@@ericforrester1

[@ericforrester1]

I believe it has been discontinued but it is a sight designed to help with cross eye dominance. I don’t recall the name.

[@gwynklau]

Awesome video dude. Been watching ur videos non-stop man and ur dogs are amazing, I have a teckel and im trying to teach him, but i mainly use him for tracking big game.. What breed r urs they seem to have it in their blood

[@ericforrester1]

Thanks. They are out of my kennel, Ghost Point Wirehairs. And yes, it is definitely in their blood…we make sure of it! 😉

[@zebwalton979]

Which part of Kansas? Are you seeing numbers improving year over year in that area?

[@thomasbrooks8112]

Another great video! Great dog work, lots of birds, and i love how you narrate and bring it all together On another subject, i just ordered a GoPro Hero 11 Black and I'm not sure what size memory cards to get? Should i get several 128 GB ones, a couple 256 GB or maybe do a mix of 128, 256 and 512 gigabyte cards? How many minutes of record time do you get on, say a 128gb card recording at the cameras highest resolution. I also ordered three of the Enduro batteries, should i get more? Thanks for any suggestions you might have!

[@ericforrester1]

It depends on how you want to organize and store files. For high resolution I would use 256 or higher. I recently switched to a 512 because I can fit a couple weeks worth of footage on it and I don’t have to switch cards on a long trip.

[@EnnAm699]

❤lots of respect you do everything perfectly and hope you share some training tips on yt here🤗

[@sethdecamp4919]

Your videos are by far the best upland hunting videos on the internet. I always enjoy them. I also appreciate your great dogs and the caring way you handle them. I live in Kansas and hunt a Wirehair (Drahthaar). I’m just curious how much of your vids are private land vs WIHA - b/c I hunt Kansas HARD and put down lots of boot leather with a good dog and I just don’t find the numbers you do. Part of it may be you have multiple dogs but am I just that bad at picking spots?? I mean I do OK but not like your vids - props to you!

[@ericforrester1]

Thank you! We only hunt public access lands when in KS and it definitely isn’t easy. We scout and hunt hard for sure. But the biggest factor is our dogs.

[@sethdecamp4919]

@@ericforrester1thanks for the reply. Also just to give credit - you are a darn good shot. Thanks for also giving me an excuse to get another dog!

All public

In my home state of Arkansas, hunters decimated the quail population. Used to be a premier hunting location, but I've only seen a handful of quail in my life. The game and fish is doing what they can to bring them back, but it makes me so sad that I can't enjoy a good bird hunt like this without going out of state.

[@jacobogorman6151]

[@fisher5745]

Have you ever had a dog catch a wild bird?

[@ericforrester1]

It has happened a few times but I believe all of them were injured or impaired in some way.

[@gamerguy5737]

For seventeen years i've been sneaking off to go on little hunting trips around the world no i don’t even know what the fuck a quail is

[@georgeseegars]

I think you hunt with my buddy Randy Young. I the Hog Hunter in SC.

[@Wildlabs]

It's so hard to watch when you start baby talking to the dogs

[@ScottVantine]

good vid only issue i had was when you swiveled towards yours partner and took a shot BEHIND him. I personally would've been PISSED. Even if I hunted with you before. Turning your barrel in the direction of your partner or guide is a quick way to let everyone know you're careless.

[@ScottVantine]

other than that one instance. clean good huntin imo

[@ScottVantine]

kansas here. few guided hunts and only 8 per day/hunter =(
