Wild boar hunting with an 18th century rifle

[@levkvarner9865]

In every single word of his there are so much thrill for the game. He is the ultimate story-teller of the KZbin.

[@wolfswesterns6650]

He is that.

[@mistersandwich0034]

no… he is the the story himself…

[@peteraugust5295]

This is the life any old rifle wishes to live! And as always your shots are incredible. Both with the rifle and the camera.

[@adrrock1]

Not just every old rifle but also every old man 😉😃

[@atune2682]

true words man

[@drwily]

That shot was amazing!

[@walterbigsby6380]

Very humane, dropped em' stone dead on the spot, well done.

[@holgerdanske3960]

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.

[@capandball]

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.

[@Thebonesoftrees]

@@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.

[@PASHANIM_2207]

Amazing shot 👍🏼

[@rifleman17hmrshooter]

Really great camera work and editing! You really brought us out on the stalk with you! Keep up the quality work

[@liecht]

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...

[@SNOUPS4]

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!

Nothing like a day out in the woods alone to take your mind away and off all the nonsense going on. It's therapeutic.

[@haroldgodwinson832]

Yes, and there sure as hell is a lot of nonsense going on these days.

God bless you Mr Balazs and God bless your beautiful Hungarian homeland. Truly a unique and special place.

[@franciswashack89]

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.

[@brianmccutchan9513]

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.

[@jerrydaley4678]

Thank you for taking me along on your hunt. It is always a pleasant walk with great commentary and beautiful landscape.

[@TheSTURMGEWEHR44]

Yes! I couldn’t wait for another vid!!

[@kentcostello8099]

You are so lucky to hunt the old country and handle works of art firearms like that . Keep it up and going please 👍🏽🇺🇸

[@robiker416B]

Things do not always go as planned when the wind is blowing and the temperature is frigid. Well done.

[@georgewashington92]

Camera work is just awesome

[@robertwilliamson6121]

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.

[@shadetreemech290]

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.

[@John-ro3vu]

I don’t even hunt, but this makes me want to start.

[@levischenk2668]

This is one hunting video that my wife enjoys watching with me. Thank you.

good to see you my friend. It doesn't matter if you're fishing, hunting, or working, a good thermos is your best friend in cold weather.

[@RhodeIslandWildlife]

Thank you Dr Németh. It's always a joy to see a true sportsman ply his craft.

[@stevenl4494]

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.

[@MrTruckerf]

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.

[@capandball]

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!

[@SB-qm5wg]

I rarely enjoy narration on videos like this. You are the exception. You speak so well.

[@True_black_swordsman]

Hunting with that kind of gun its a fantasy.

[@keepyourbilsteins]

Thanks for sharing this experience. The camera work and editing were excellent.

[@nocturnalrecluse1216]

Wow! That's one hell of a shot and it ain't easy to aim with those things. Definitely the true mark of a great sportsman. I salute you, sir. 👏

Your shots are better then whole TV program. Thank you for it. Greeting from Koenig Graz, CZ.

[@populustremula7496]

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.

[@sadwichman4319]

Awesome video as always. Its great to see such respect and passion for this craft. Hunting with black powder is always so humbling!

[@Joe091680]

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.

[@yq397r]

Fantastic video- thank you for sharing... what a shot! Thumbs up from Nebraska, USA.

[@gyurkesh]

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.

[@Miata822]

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.

[@capandball]

Bill, i also feel that the camera is killing the moment in many cases.

[@kerstinohlsen6465]

Beautiful impressions and a perfect shot! Jó vadászatot!

[@longlowdog]

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.

[@mikeculhane1101]

[@chrisgabbert658]

[@konig89]

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 KZbin (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.

[@flintandball6093]

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.

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!

Man is this video cozy. Makes me want to curl up by the fireplace with a cup of coffee with a mounted pig above the mantle.

[@shadetreemech290]

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.

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.

[@4570duplex]

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.

[@petervanderbeek9518]

good filming great shot with the old rifle greetings from Belgium

[@antoniescargo1529]

Ik woon ook in Hongarije en zie in de bossen vooral afval. Glas, kleding, schoenen, plastic flessen achtergelaten door houtzagers. Ik ruim het op en breng het naar de gemeentewerf. Grofvuil wordt nauwelijks opgehaald. Herten en reeën lopen hier om het huis. Boonsel zie ik liggen. September staan de herten hier te burlen. Je hoort ze van alle kanten....

[@Beowulf395]

you could not ask for a better shot...... that was nice work

[@peterparsons7141]

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)

[@tlloyd9325]

Bless you for sharing your hunt with us. The country is BEAUTIFUL! We have feral swine that are really causing problems with destroying farmland. We try to get rid of as many as possible but they too are very wary. Again another great video and history of a firearm together. Thank you, God bless.

[@redrover1565]

Your first shot, a high-angle shot, is actually not as "easy" as some would think...it's too easy to shoot high.

[@ThePerfectRed]

German hunter'saying: "Bergunter halt drunter", aim lower if you are at a vertical angle.

[@stevep5408]

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!

[@ThePerfectRed]

@@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.

[@pamtnman1515]

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.

[@georgeperreault6358]
