About this episode

Scott Linden interviews Eric Forrester about wingshooting and hunting strategies for chukars and other birds.

If you haven't watched his YouTube videos from chukar country (and more), you're missing out. This guy takes DIY bird hunting - and video - to a whole 'nother level. You'll learn from Eric Forrester this week as he joins me after a rollicking season of new species, new states and fascinating challenges. From new dogs, to tough conditions, low bird numbers to spectacular vistas, Eric takes us on a fulfilling and challenging journey around the West in search of chukars, Huns, sharptails, and scaled quail. We learn how to find new places to hunt, strategies and tactics, habitat types, even get some shooting suggestions. Eric bursn the boot leather and puts in the miles so you don't have to.
