With content like this, who needs the Outdoor Channel?

[@davidpeightal4918]

I was thinking “maybe I could do that”. Until I realized you had the birds flying in slow motion. I might have to stick with treed bobcats; my “pointers” sitting at the bottom barking up.

[@barbarasolomon5962]

We've had 3 English Pointers, fabulous breed!

[@ericforrester1]

They are…except these are all GWP 😁

[@barbarasolomon5962]

I meant that all Pointers are fabulous breeds so intelligent

[@ericforrester1]

Ah yes, agreed 👍

[@thomasproctor3047]

The best bird hunting video that I have seen. Just two hunters out enjoying a day with their dogs, not some dude that knows very little about hunting constantly running his mouth as though he was giving play by play of a basketball game. Keep these good videos coming.

[@charlesbauswell459]

Made me lol when he said he thought he shot his own truck

[@israrhaq73]

Eric the hunter you your dogs your shooting your videos put smile on my face Thank you sir

[@davidcudlip6587]

I used to hunt north central Kansas and preferred it to hunting in South Dakota. Bigger bag limits and the fact that quail were always in the areas I hunted, plus a cheaper license that was good for the whole season made it a better choice. Hopefully going back next season with a new dog. Your video took me back and was great viewing.

[@ericforrester1]

Thanks! Good luck

[@richc4231]

Eric you're the best at hunting and videoing at the same time. Dogs look terrific thanks for sharing

Awesome hunting! I was in Kansas for opener. Lots of quail! Very few pheasants. Usually the other way.

[@ericforrester1]

Sounds good to me!👍

[@rogerbeckner6419]

My Britt Gunner had one like that one time; the quail was 8 INCHES from his nose and just sat there while I took a photo.

[@sethdecamp4919]

Nice video man - I live / hunt Kansas with my Drahthaar and I have to say you do a really nice job. The way you work your dogs is great. I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos. Nothing like upland hunting over your own dog.

[@geraldblair3094]

I love to watch a good dog work

[@codyolson5392]

Ive been to Kansas the last 2 years and only seen a handful of quail. I'd love to see numbers like this. We will keep searching new areas until I find them! Great content and beautiful dogs👍 Appreciate the time you put into these

[@oregonuplands8687]

Awhile back I asked you about good upland hunting podcasts to check out and you turned me onto the birdshot podcast. Since then I've binged all that and moved onto more and just listened to you on the upchukar podcast. Love the bird hunting knowledge you bring to the table and your awesome content keep it up man its awesome! Btw I'm a dogless grouse and mtn quail hunter in coastal Oregon.

He is a German Wirehaired Pointer. His slick coat makes him look like a shorthair.

Eric- as a Kansas native and upland hunter who has a lot to learn I would love to see a video with you discussing your hunting philosophy (as in I see a covey of X number and I won’t shoot any). I’m also curious if you sell any GSP pups. Love your channel. I’ve learned a lot from you sir.

[@trail-peak]

You’re a really good shot. Just so you know

[@nathanpalm7163]

Really enjoy your videos. Tubby seems like a bird finding machine. I get when you're out by yourself with those long marks wanting him to break on flush. However there were a couple times on bobs in this video i was like holy shit i hope he doesnt jump when u shoot. Have you considered holding him to be steady to flush just for safety. Certainly has the mind for it and seems to mark well on long retrieves. Looks to be a very well bred dog. Again your videos and dogs and shooting are amazing. Just my 2 cents.

[@ericforrester1]

Thanks Nathan, I’m glad you enjoy the videos. I have grown accustomed to shooting with other people and dogs in close proximity. When field trialing you have to thoroughly analyze your surroundings to know how to make a safe shot, or when not to shoot, and the practice has helped me be able to make safe decisions quickly. There is still a risk obviously, but I feel it is significantly mitigated.

[@loganpeterson4857]

You ever done a desert quail for scaled or mearns? You about have everything else. You do a good job with your videos thanks

[@torbenheeris8344]

Greetings from Denmark. Awesome video as usual, keep up the good work, You and Your dogs are an inspiration to us all. I would just love a pup from TubbyxCici, however its a long way from Your place to mine, and they would surely cost a welldeserved fortune! Best regards

Enjoy your videos, a friend and I are planning a trip to Kansas this fall. What size shot do you use when hunting mixed birds that are so drastically different in size? Thanks for any help you’re able to offer.

[@ericforrester1]

I just use 7.5 shot but I mostly focus on quail. However I routinely kill roosters out to 30-35 yards or so.

[@dweaver531]

@@ericforrester1 Nice, thank you for the reply.

[@thomasbrooks8112]

When I used to hunt areas with both pheasant and quail, I loaded my own 2-3/4" 20 ga. shells with 1 ounce of #7 lead shot that I found at a gun show. It worked great out to 35 yards or maybe a little longer on pheasants. I used a skeet choke and improved cylinder in my 20 gauge Citori O/U. I wish I could find some more of it.

Never break that dog shooting birds on a break point. We had great dogs and it was no way we short birds over an unbroken dog. The dog got disciplined and was made to Whoa. Telling a good girl after breaking point. House dog.

How many dogs do you shoot? You need to train them to hold steady to shot until you release them to fetch. I'm surprised they will hunt for you with you shooting so close to them when they're running after flushed birds. If I was your dog I'd bite your leg.
