11:45 Amazing view, with the most awesome hunter from Europe in the wild forest foreground, and the lit city in the back, the perfect mix of ancient and modern greatnesses!
If it was exactly intended in that way, you're true, but I doubt that massivly. To go for a head shot is always very difficult and tricky, even if you use a modern gun, but with an old black powder rifle with open sights in beginning dawn, if it was planned that way, it almost borders on irresponsibility, especially if you consider his miss in the best light. For me it was in the best case a very lucky punch caused by an aming error or a shake. Nevertheless wonderfull pictures and an exciting atmosphere and of course poetically and excitingly told.
Dear Holger, there was a big difference between the two situations for me. The first shot happened in a second, and I was not prepared at all, while I had many minutes before the second shot to think it over what will I do if the boar returns. The first one was a miss from the instinct, the second was well developed mentally. I do shoot on international competitions where the ten ring is 50 mm at 50 m, and won quite a few World and European Championships medals with black powder arms with open sights. That head of the boar at 35 m-s offered a much larger hit area than the complete black of the ISSF 50 m pistol target. On the other hand, I agree with you that you need luck in hunting.
@@capandball That boar you took could not ask or be given a quicker or more humane exit from this life. Nice shot , wow, Cheers from a fellow hunter from Vancouver Island BC, Canada.
Sir,you are a true hunter,and also an artist and a poet.Thank you so much for make me feel as if I returned back to the 18 century,or somewhere out of this world...
Beautiful country ! Thank you for the video. This reminds me of the saying: It is better to be fishing and thinking of God, than to be in church thinking about fishing.
Outstanding video, very well done. The camera work, the editing, the content- all first rate. Beautiful area. Sad that the magnificent stag had a bad injury to a front leg. A clean miss is far preferable to a wounded animal.
Living in the wide open spaces of the high desert of California, I did not realize how much beauty is still left in Hungary. Wonderful video, and greetings from a Pole and second generation American.
Wow... a rifle almost 300 years old and still going strong.... Now that’s craftsmanship. A salute to the maker.. and to those who’ve kept it in great condition all these years. Should have kept it flintlock though.
Yeah, I agree completely. Especially the flint lock part. Maybe it could be converted back with an original flint lock of the correct period. When you pick up a flint lock the sparks are gona fly.
Counter intuitive to aim low no matter if it's uphill or downhill. Once made a shot on a whitetail 50 yards downhill as it lept a draining ditch. Moved so fast I wound up aiming low and landing a great shot high on its back as it ran away. Splattered no guts just followed the spine blowing up the heart as it penetrated into the chest cavity. Didn't touch the stomach or colon. Animal went down dead. Lucky shot on my part. Don't know if I would take that shot again, glad the animal died instantly and humanely!
@@stevep5408 It helps me to imagine the trajectory parabola of the bullet rotated so that shooter and target are on one horizontal level. In both cases (uphill and downhill) gravity does not pull perpendicularly from below but at an angle, meaning that the vertical part of the vector is reduced and thus the trajectory gets flatter.
Red Rover I like that German saying, thank you. In English we just need to remember to shoot low on the animal's belly whenever we are aiming steeply uphill or down.
It's crazy how the weather changed in just a few weeks. It's like the Siberian tundra here near Szeged. We were pheasant hunting today, although with modern weapons, but it was still one of the most challenging hunts of this season.
Not sure hunting like that or with something made in the 18th century is as much appreciated today as it ought to be. I know I do, eventhough I'm not blessed with a rifle that old. As far as challenges go, this is tough, not unlike doing it with a bow in late winter. Enjoyed it immensely, and much appreciated. Good hunting.
Another great video and a pleasure to watch. I love that you consistently prove that one doesn't need to take 760 meter shots with some suppressed, high performance modern firearm to take down game in a reasonable manner. And, wow, no camouflage clothing to get within 80 meters of your quarry...is that even possible? Seriously though, there are lots of youtube videos showing wounded wild boar charging the hunter and I wondered if you reloaded before approaching that boar or if you maybe had a sidearm on you? Thanks again for another look at hunting with these older, fantastic firearms. Time to break out your Uberti 1873 again give us another couple of videos with it. Your earlier ones with it are some of my favorites.
Wonderful. I enjoyed following you on such a traditional adventure. I was stationed in Germany from 1999-2002 and would see boars during my training. I’ve never experienced the tradition of hunting but you guide me to my desire and build my passion. Thank you for sharing yours. Much respect from the USA.
Thank you so much - I thoroughly enjoy your videos. From the respect and reverence you display when in the field to the depth of knowledge you display on the range, your channel is one of my favorite places to come to relax and learn. Which leads me to the following question - as a now 60 year old American rifleman/hunter with a very keen interest in 19th century arms (having both hunted and competed with them since I was a young man), I had never before seen anyone use a filler in a muzzle loader. I'm a firm believer in the notion that one is never too old to stop learning, and I am indeed eager to continue my education (that is a large part of what brings me here). So, if I may, could I ask just what benefits this might provide? If it is too much to get into here, I might suggest that it would make a wonderful topic for a video. Or perhaps you have already covered this, and I have somehow missed it? Anyway, again - thank you. You have a very special way of presenting that "speaks" to many of us.
I recently ordered a Fusil de Chasse so I can begin period hunting! I’m a history student and found out one of my ancestors was a long hunter before the Seven Years War/French and Indian War. We have a coyote and bobcat problem here and they’ve messed with the other animal populations a lot.
Beautiful views of your homeland. I hunt the big 200 lb. bucks in the state of Maine the same way. Track and stalk is the only way we can find them. Most times it is tough going but very satisfying when you do get close to a big buck. I miss too!
Perfect shot. Great photography and story. I seldom hunt any more, just occasional game birds, but I still love to get out into the country when i can. In recent years I have taught myself to leave the camera more often. I found that stopping for the photo or video was distracting me from being in the moment, truly experiencing the place and time, the sights sounds and smells around me. Ironically, your beautiful clip of deer on the hillside, allowing the camera to linger, took me back to my last pre-pandemic trip into the mountains. I sat and watched a magnificent bull elk come down a high mountain trail, passing within 20-30 meters of me. I was sure he knew I was there but studiously ignored me as he walked by, each of us not troubling the other. Moments like that are rare and special. In another time I would have been looking at him through crosshairs or a viewfinder. That experience is just not the same.
Nice video! Can you tell me though, why do you use a filler underneath the patched round ball? Is it cushioning, lube intrusion into the powder or something else?
When shooting target, it equalizes the gas pressure, increases accuracy. For hunting it is not necessary, I use it because I have a rusty spot at the breech, so I am lifing the bullet above this section.
waidmanns heil! Another great video, the snow adds another level of beauty to the atmosphere. You have made me really want to hunt hungary with my Pedersoli Missouri River Hawken one day. I am hunting red deer, fallow and buffalo this year with it here and very excited to see it perform.
Simply excellent video once again. It is fantastic to see a hunter that shows proper respect for the game and the land that they hunt, and who also would just be happy getting outside if they never got a chance at a shot. Very reassuring in these time where you see too many people on TH-cam (i refuse to call them hunters) going out and just looking to kill anything they see. I have the highest respect for European hunting tradions I believe this is how it should be. Thank you for the content on your channel it has inspired me to get into black powder shooting here in the UK. Please keep up the great work.
What a classic rifle and I agree with Mr. Balazs that hanging an old rifle on the wall or storing it in a safe makes them fade away. The weather for the boar hunt looked very cold. Do many hunters hunt waterfowl in Hungary? I used to hunt waterfowl with a Navy Arms, percussion, double barrel. I would use 4 drams of GOEX 2F black powder under 1 1/2 ounces of #4 or # 6 shot. Unfortunately the requirement to use steel shot stopped me from using the double. This was before Bismuth shot and other non-toxic alternatives were available.
Dear Jacob, yes we do hunt waterfowl with muzzle loaders, we can still use it outside of restricted areas. I hope that tin plating lead shot will solve the problem. I hope we can keep hunting with these old arms.
You inspired me to pick up my first muzzleloader. Built a Kentucky rifle from a kit. In America, we obviously have access to the most modern weapons & therefore, they lose their luster offer a while and it gets boring. Muzzleloading sparked a new passion for me. One problem I’m having is controlling rust. No matter how much I clean it, I can’t seem to stop rust from forming. Any advice?
This is the future of hunting ! What’s is old, is new again. The wildlife management rules in my area have introduced a separate season for muzzle loaders. The season is after regular rifle season and in many areas there are not as many people due to the cold and additional challenges of hunting with a single shot short range rifle. I have decades of big game hunting experience, and I have found that the black powder season brings me back to what it is I cherish about hunting. The woods go back to their regular rhythm, the animals go back to their routine and habits. Sure it’s more difficult and success, if measured by taking and animal is less probable. But the rewards are far beyond just having food in the freezer. Of the many big game I have taken with centerfire rifle, my black powder hunts are the most memorable by a huge margin. I really enjoy your video’s, full of good information and enjoyable. ...p.s.(we hunt moose, white tailed deer)
Weidmannsheil. Beautiful camera work. The best days of hunting seldom have a kill at the end. The pursuit of wild boar outside of a fenced estate in a European winter is addictive. You have brought all the emotions and deep feelings back to me although my health now forbids I walk the hills and valleys. Thank you. Regards from Scotland.
I enjoy your videos and perspective. I'm new to black powder and this is the first time I've heard of "filler" charge. What is the purpose of it and what is it made of?
3:03 I thought I was the only one who had that philosophy. I have my grandfather's .12 gauge Western Arms Corp. Long Range Double. It was made in the 1940's, but works like new because it's been taken care of through the years.
I’m sure this is a dumb question but even though it’s of a strange caliber couldnt you cast a somewhat Minnie ball shaped bullet. It kind of seems that the rifle would be a tack driver with those
i love the hunting videos as much as the old guns you show exelent video great camera work and a beutiful country 👍 ime out on the hunt tomorow with my 17yr old rifle a fresher compared to these old beutys 😆
The last scene is so familiar! The city in the background and a successful hunt in the hills above. Just the way I too hunt. The only suggestion I have is to end the video at the dinner table with the game on your plate and a glass of wine raised up to the animal.
John! I too have hunted with black powder firearms. The feelings are difficult describe but the best I can put it is that you can feel a connection far back into the past. As long as you put in enough range time to learn your weapon the old "smokepoles" will do the job. A .58 percussion rifled musket would be an excellent choice for whitetail deer. Do it! You will not regret it!
I hunted outside of Papa in Hungary I got a great boar a red stag and 3 roe deer . one of the best hunts I have ever been on.the country is awesome and people are friendly.even got to try some plum whiskey
In every single word of his there are so much thrill for the game. He is the ultimate story-teller of the TH-cam.
He is that.
no… he is the the story himself…
This is the life any old rifle wishes to live!
And as always your shots are incredible. Both with the rifle and the camera.
Not just every old rifle but also every old man 😉😃
true words man
Really great camera work and editing! You really brought us out on the stalk with you! Keep up the quality work

Truly a unique and special place.
What an excellent respect for the animal and the craft of hunting! Well done sir I want to move to Hungary 🇭🇺
If you are hungry there is a I hop near you don't need to move
Nothing like a day out in the woods alone to take your mind away and off all the nonsense going on. It's therapeutic.
Yes, and there sure as hell is a lot of nonsense going on these days.
I prefer to slaughter defenseless pigs for my therapy

Beautiful area.
Sad that the magnificent stag had a bad injury to a front leg. A clean miss is far preferable to a wounded animal.
Yes, and it was also old. That would have been a good mission to save it from further suffer, but I could not get close to them. Good eyes my friend!
You are so lucky to hunt the old country and handle works of art firearms like that . Keep it up and going please 👍🏽🇺🇸
Hunter's Salute! Thank you for sharing your beautiful country and the experience.
This is one hunting video that my wife enjoys watching with me. Thank you.

What a way to start the weekend, beautiful video and greetings from Sweden
Your first shot, a high-angle shot, is actually not as "easy" as some would think...it's too easy to shoot high.
German hunter'saying: "Bergunter halt drunter", aim lower if you are at a vertical angle.
Counter intuitive to aim low no matter if it's uphill or downhill. Once made a shot on a whitetail 50 yards downhill as it lept a draining ditch. Moved so fast I wound up aiming low and landing a great shot high on its back as it ran away. Splattered no guts just followed the spine blowing up the heart as it penetrated into the chest cavity.
