Snake River/Hells Canyon Chukar!!! pt.1 

Thank you for this great video.

5* hunt and vid, best I have seen yet on the interwebs. Can't wait to watch part 2...brought me back to a hunt I had 10 years back. Shot a chukar that died out on a rock knob. I was working my way over to retrieve the quarry and halfway thru the draw to the rock knob a gorgeous golden eagle swooped on in, grabbed that dead chukar, then flew on by me with that chukar in his talons. Best thing I ever saw. I was happy to pass on to that eagles good fortune.

Wow Eric!! Thanks for taking us along. 😄

Any day you walk back to your car from such a terrain is a good day

Your Best one yet and that's saying a lot . In fact it maybe the best bird hunting video I have ever seen . Looking forward to number 2 .

Really outstanding job on bringing the audience along. This is one video I'll watch over and over.

Thank you for this great video Eric! Hell's Canyon has been our lifelong go to place for almost fifty years for all our outdoor adventures and hunting. Hubby is now 75 and just had hip replacement so we're watching youtube vids of that area and yours is the best so far. It's really nice to feel like you're there when you can't get there. And the opening footage of the snow dusted mountains is to die for. Gotta capture a shot of that for my wallpaper!

One of the best videos I have seen. Have enjoyed your other videos in the prairie states as well. This one is the icing on the cake.

What a place!

Great hunting, good shots and of course a great video! I also love to hunt Chukars. I live in central asia in Kyrgyzstan.

That long drop on the second day, I did that once and decided to pick it up on the way down in the evening, found where the bird hit in the snow, bounced and the coyote tracks. Hells canyon is fabulous country. In the 70s we would jump 200+ birds a day, no dogs.

All your videos are awesome, I'm looking forward to part 2.

Nice work Eric. Glad you got to have that experience!

that countryside is just beautiful.. looks like it was a great trip, thanks for sharing with us

Awesome vid. Beautiful views

J'aime beaucoup tes vidéos 👍🌹🇩🇿🌹🇩🇿🌹🇩🇿🌹👍🌹🇩🇿🌹

Outstanding job man, what a trip! That scenery, wow. Great dog work too.

Another Awesome video!!!!!

Great video and commentary! I pays to have a good retrieving dog like Cee Cee. I’ve been chasing chukars for 32 years and I prefer to flush the birds from below or on contour, giving me shots at the oncoming birds rather than a chukar in a power dive. It’s not always possible but it gives you a slight edge when you connect. Chukars love rocks, rock slides and singles love brush. Good luck!

I love your videos....real adventures...no b.s. public ground....that chukar hunt is top of my bucket list too...I'm getting older and need to get it done soon if it's gonna happen...I'm in Illinois...so next time you pass through here on a trip stop and pick me up....lol

Hi Eric I am happy you enjoyed your hunt. I’m hunting this bird almost exclusively in their homeland so I know what it takes. Looking forward for the part 2.

Great video. chukar hunting is one of my favorite game birds to hunt. I will say, they are nothing more than "Goats with Feathers". They run up vertical rock faces (I've seen them do it) and fly down right in front of you to where you started. We begin the day calling them chukars but by then of the morning or afternoon hunt, we call them something very similar that begins with an "F". Much of our state of Idaho has some rather premiere chukar hunting as does Nevada, and I'm guessing Oregon. Not too many go after these birds because it's just like hunting big game. Very cool video Eric. By the way, that's a great name you have. Same as my grandson.

Wow!!!

Yeah man! January seems to me like it can be either really good or really difficult. Good for you with the success as a beginner with chukar. Your dogs seem to be doing well with them.

Great Video! It's steep up there isn't it😁. Chukar hunting is my passion. Thanks for sharing

Loved the video. Ive hunted directly across Brownlee, boat access only. The saying is the 1st time you hunt them for fun, after that it's for revenge.

👍 great for you Eric! Wonderful video! Where is home base for you?

Eric if you make it back to Oregon area again would like to meet you and the dogs. Already on the list if you decide to have another breeding 🤗.

Time mark 10:25 boom boom boom .... SHIT... omg I've don't that soooo many times on those red legged devils!!!!

We are looking foreword for part 2

Yessssss!!!

Awesome video!!!!!!! Part 1 & 2..... what particular go pro are you using and did you modify the lens etc? Thank you for taking us along

Subbed! Good video!

Awesome video!!!! How do you get your camera to zoom in like that?

Did or do you spend a lot of time clay pigeon shooting, or do you just hunt a lot?

I gotta chuckle, I've been hunting chukar for 15 years now (on the Snake River in fact) and went through the same thing you did...There's just really no way to explain chukar hunting to someone until they experience it first hand. I'm assuming you were on the Idaho side? The Oregon side of Hell's Canyon this year is very poor.

Are you going to head West again for the 2020-21 season?

Mate, I was really enjoying your video up until I saw those three ejected cartridge cases that you seemed to totally ignore whilst talking to us. Please tell me that you did pick them up, access to such beautiful country demands respect. Here in Fascist Australia there is absolutely no access to any public lands for bird hunting, I only hunt quail on private land that I have exclusive access to, we never leave a cartridge case and if we find one pick it up and bring it to the attention of the landowner. Most times they are heavy shot from the farmer chasing foxes, only landowners are allowed self loading or pump guns for vermin destruction, doubles only for hunting and half of Australia has banned legal quail hunting. Think yourself lucky, cheerio Bob.

love your videos but not the swearing especially when you are using good name.
