Hells Canyon pt 4, *SUBLIME Chukar Hunting! 

Eric, having hunted these birds in the mountain west for 26 years now, I can fully appreciate the satisfaction you express in the “hunting ecstacy”. The dog work is REMARKABLE. I’ve hunted over a lot of bird dogs, but none of the caliber displayed here. To hold points for 20+min on wild devil birds is amazing. As one who has missed just as many as I’ve shot (truthfully missed more than connected, just too prideful to admit it), your shooting % is also remarkable. Not many chase these birds the way they deserve (as you have displayed), so it’s hard for one to appreciate what you’re doing here, until they’ve done it.

Absolutely fulfilling to watch. Can't imagine experiencing it in person. Epic

Thank you for sharing this SUBLIME Chukar Hunting loved it !

HI dear ERIC , Im Iranian Chukar hunter , I love your method and your Skil , Thank you man 🖐️🙏💚🌸

"when you cant put it into words" you describe it perfectly!

Not luck my friend,you are God blessed

Thank you. Just found your channel this week and absolutely love it.

Breathtaking landscapes! You certainly have to be fit to go hunting in that terrain! Ah, and hats off to your dog! Fantastic job! There are situations where there are so many birds flying away that it must be difficult to pick the one you want to shoot! Amazing! Congratulations!

Excellent dog

Thank you

Ive hunted birds since 12 yrs old now 65... awesome to watch you....

When you say "ok" and the dog doesn't move! I love it!

Mannn how much i get exited when i see that u posted another chukar video...kiss moux for me this time...that was an epic way to end a season❤❤❤loved it all ..

Chukars Always Have a Chance: Another great video - Moxie's addicted to chukar. When I was 15, I saw 2 guys in our hunting party walk in on a chukar holding in a single bush on a hillside. I said to an older, experienced hunter with me, "that chukar has no chance". He replied, "chukar always have a chance." Those two hunters walked up to the bush, one above and one below. When they were 10 feet away, the bird exploded straight up and went right over their heads in the direction they had just come from. We watched these two hunters twist around, stumbling, trying to shoot on a steep hillside and hitting nothing but air. Then the old guy restated, "chukars always have a chance". I have tons of respect for those birds. Eric, you got so close to those birds, super good work using your boots to get in position. Thanks for sharing your hunting trips.

Hi Eric it’s my fourth time i am watching this video, the working of dog your technique of hunting the beauty of landscape. Man I love the hole package its awesome thanks.

Amazing!!!! As an over the hill bird hunter I will never be able to hunt chukar because of the mountain terrain. Thanks for the beautiful scenery and the amazing dog work. Have a great summer!

good shoots bro...good luck...very nice film...

Awesome eye candy 😍

Two 👍🏽👍🏽 up man. I know a lot of work goes into it , I appreciate all your hard work 😓 I always look forward to your videos. Stay Chukar Strong.

Only one word can describe that hunt: AWESOME!! 👍👍

Very very good 👍👍🙏🙏

20 minutes on point is amazing!

Eric, I, too, know the high of being alone with my dogs, enjoying the physical nature of upland bird hunting. Seeing the beauty of the landscape, the wild animals around me. It's the genetic wiring of a hunter. Great of you to share your experiences!

Once again, simply awsome! Top dog, top terrain, top shoot. Spectacular journey. Congratulation

Hehehe! “He looked me in the eye and lived”….. Priceless! Amazing season man, we’ll done to you and your dogs.

His dogs are amazing. I live and hunt in Idaho and never seen anything like this. Great job

Awesome hunt!!! Your dogs are second to none!

Probably the best shooter of chukars. Really amazing videos. Respect and love from Pakistan

Thanks Eric for the best upland bird hunting videos on RU-vid. I love how you capture the birds flushing. Moxie is an unbelievable dog. Great job training her to hunt. Any type of upland birds.

Hi there Eric, you’re right.. that was “Hunting Ecstasy” and a sublime day”! And I’m glad we can all tag along… and that’s really a majestic place to hunt. Thanks for sharing sir👍🏻.

Epic day and Trip.

Hey Eric! Im saying as a man that have seen so much hunting videos.When I see your videos quality I understood your effort.Congratulations!

the best!

So good. Chukar hunting while so challenging is also so addictive. Awesome dog work.

That was a great series of films. Thanks for that. Your dogs, from young pups to tried and tested, did you proud!

Man I could watch this every day not ready for the season to be over with but I’m sure you got more amazing dog work coming keep up the great work

Great season for you and the dogs .Thank you for all your hard work.Been an absolute pleasure watching all your adventures.

Congratulations Eric, phenomenal season, dog work and videography.. absolutely love your uploads.. can’t wait to see the magic you weave in 2023

Fantastic video Eric your dogs are always top notch and the scenery was beautiful. I’m glad your living your dream and letting us see it all with you. Your sure going to have some beautiful memories to look back on. Really looking forward to your new ones. Thank you.

Wow, amazing hunt bro...

This is the type of content I love to see. Good job man 💯,I found this Chanel recently and will now stay around to watch your hunts/adventures. Keep up the good work 🤙

What an awesome way to end the season. Thank you for sharing with us.

NO Eric thank you for awesome videos, it feels like I am hunting along with you. Thanks boss

Thank you for sharing,beautiful hunting in amazing place !

What an incredible video - amazing dog work, amazing scenery!!

Awesome place , smart dog , great hunting like always , I've been watching your videos I really enjoy watching them and at the same time I'm jealous and I'm thinking no wonder he always look good and doesn't age

Looks so much fun! Chukars are on my bucket list but I don't know, I'm afraid of heights. Looking down those canyons will take my legs out from under me. Love the camera work!

Enjoyed every moment joining you and your awesome dogs in Hells Canyon, thanks for sharing😀

Amazing! This series was awesome. As always thanks for sharing

Super enjoyable man. I can appreciate your words on how special it all is. Here in Utah, we’ve had a couple bad drought years that have wiped out our wild chukar numbers. This year has been a bit better, and now we’ve got huge snow levels - so we’ll see how the spring goes. Anyway… I truly enjoy your content, how you set up the hunts and explain most points and scenarios. Congratulations on a fine season and some amazing dog work. On top of all - you somehow film it all. Amazing. Well done.

Nice dog!!!!!! Good hunting 💪🏻

wow! great way to wrap up the season. Some beautiful (and sometimes sketchy!) country. Not sure my knees could take it anymore 🤔

Estos videos son una fabula y los perros que tienes son increibles, enhorabuena y esperando los siguientes videos, UN SALUDO.

Very good shooting

Thanks eri ya keep us going to season.

wow wow, very good job, your dogs are spectacular, 👍👍👍 greetings from Las Vegas NV.

You are da man! Wonderful video and a great hunt!

fantastic film as allways!!

amazing job man...loved every second of it...keep it up

Hi Eric and Moxy too, what a wonderful place to end your season (It terrifies me just looking at it, ann). That was a really rugged place. Can you tell us if there are any English partridge in them there hills? We loved every vid, hope there are plenty more to come next season. You're dogs are all great and what a splendid job they did!! Malc and Ann UK xxx

Bucket list area. You’re a lucky man!

Awesome just awesome

Grandes caçadas, belas paisagens e muito bons cães. Parabéns e obrigado por estes filmes !!!

Beautiful video, and your experience is gained through the many years you spend in the mountains ...I hunt like you, I photograph like you, and I document my moments. This bird is very beautiful, and hunting it requires a lot of effort. I am following you from Syria ❤

People say Idaho doesn’t have steep mountains…ha!

Hi Eric. I do not have high blood pressure but, watching you scale that first rock outcropping, it went up !!! 20 minutes on a point-WOW. Later. Doug.

You part goat man that was a great day’s hunting moxie made some great work out off them birds and as soon as you hear her bark you no them birds still well out in front off her and you made sure that last single was going down 😂thanks very much for sharing Eric as I a long way away from hells canon you make me feel I rite there enjoy the rest and looking forward to seeing more in the not to long future I hope ☘️

Eric, your content, dog work and shooting are strong! I shoot birds. No dogs anymore. Just hire guides and go do it. But your living that life a lot of us wish we had the balls to go adventure and “live”. Well done, amigo!

Great job Eric!

Wow😯😍

Love your videos. Awesome dogs. Hope to get back to chucker hunting next year when I’m completely healed up from my back surgery. Hopefully that’s possible!!

What country...one is bird hunting, not mountain climbing Eric. Moxie is terrific ad always. You were born to chase the red legged devils. A priviledge to watch, enjoy and even jog an old memory or two. Stay easy and enjoy the ride called life. GO MOXIE! Outstanding hunt and filming.

Another great vid Eric. Best out there. If I could handle the terrain I'd be planning a trip to HC.

Awesome video

Damn, if I was ever invited to a hunt with you, don’t care how far it is weather it’s driving or flying there, I’m there. Great dogs and great hunt.

Awesome dog and amazing fhunt. Your videos are by far the best, you bring us with you. However.. I would pass on climbing those "cliffs" I don't do heights. Thanks for the experience

Love all your videos. My son and I are starting to plan a trip out west. We have Shorthairs and a Griffon. We really have no clue where to begin. Would love to talk and get some advice, we have never done this before.

It's got to be hard for you to go back to Indiana after hunting in the west.

Beautiful country! That bird at the 13:30 mark was great. Do birds go back to their buddies and tell of their escape and close encounters? Thanks again for sharing the season with us.

I see why you do it and why you keep going back, good for you!!

Always good to see your videos brother , do you also sell finished dogs ? I’m looking for a good chukar dog and looking forward to hunt with a wired-hair pointer this coming year if I can find one , I have 6 GSP and wanted to add one more friend , thank you 🙏🏼

I was excited to hear how you prepare, seems the video got cut short.

These videos are awesome!! No hard feelings if you don’t want to answer this question but we’re you on the Oregon side or the idaho side? I only ask because I live in boise hahaha

Brilliant as usual outstanding dog work I say you sleep well after all that walking

What is your favorite Chucker shot shell? Brand,shot size, type & length. Love your videos.🐦💥🍗

Eric. You would have to have chosen the best boot for extreme terrain and comfort by now. Would you share your boot knowledge? Brand and model? Thanks! BTW, if i was a younger man, i would have me a couple of those wire hairs!! No birds left here in Arkansas but i was lucky enough to have hunted them when there were coveys of quail virtually everywhere. My dad had some of the best English pointers around with an occasional setter. It truly was the sport of kings. You have the best bird hunting channel by far.

I agree completely with kylegraham993. The scenery and the feeling of harvesting a chukar, it is like a trophy every time. I am curious what kind of boat that is that you were using.

Best upland videos on RU-vid! What time of the year is this?

Eric, I live and hunt birds in idaho, dig your vids. You should try sharpies in the SE

Oh mannn please don't tell me it was the last episode of the season 🥺 Can't wait the whole year to watch those awesome dogs work Spectacular shooting and heavenly beautiful terrains 😉 Anyhow wish u health eric cu.

If you don't fall down while shooting in utter shock at least once...you're not chukar hunting! Great stuff as always Eric.

Hello Eric, great videos. Can you please share what is your gear for videos ( Camera, drone etc) and setup?

Does your wife watch your videos when you get into the “saucy” situations? I don’t think mine would be able to watch haha. Another great one!

Hi Eric, my name is Erik and I was looking to take my 80 year old dad on a pheasant hunt to eastern Montana and was wondering if you would recommend a spot over their on public land. Let me know if you don’t mind sharing. Great video, love Hells Canyon, I live in Twin Falls ID.

13:30 en güzel an ☺

Hey Eric, awesome video. What kind of shotgun are you shooting when you go on these long steep hunts?

I love checking out your videos, what shotgun and gauge are you using?

What is the boat you are using in the video?

Eric do you have specific videos or training tips that you do to train your hunt dead so well?

As hard as Moxey worked I think you should cook some of those birds for her.
