This is part 2 of the story of the original 18th century Jäger rifle by Marcus Zellner. That's the true test of the 18th century rifle: hunting wild boar in wintertime on open range.

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!

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

[@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!

[@normalcitizen_1]

What a way to start the weekend, beautiful video and greetings from Sweden

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.

Great footage and always good to add some game meat for the table.Proof that age (for the rifle)is no barrier.

Good shot ,and very respectful to the game .....

Awesome video! Congrats!

[@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.

[@davidhruska9643]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing the country side and the hunt!

[@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.

[@earlyriser8998]

your quality of photography is excellent....and a well told story.....

[@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.

[@steveg8322]

Downed the boar like the champion that you are! Excellent work,both you and your Jaeger, bravo!

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 😆

[@loupuleff571]

ahh ok that makes sense, very nice hunt i'm glad for your success looks beautiful there you are very fortunate to live and hunt there !!

[@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.

[@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....

I know you can't have fun unless you suffer but there are limits on a Gentleman's hunt.

Nice hit, stunned him. Those are the only shot I take on boar.

[@jacobmarley4907]

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.

[@capandball]

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.

[@mrjangalanglang1150]

Superb shot with an old beauty! Great job

[@mccomishpaul]

Thats true hunting.

[@peteraugust5295]

Every time I watch one of his videos I am thinking about doing the hunting license... The next day I go to the forest and see that Berlin wall of highstands and the overweight hunters with their SUVs parking right under them and all motivation is gone again. I am really curious if this style of hunting is more common in hungary, or if B.alazs is a unicorn there as well

[@grinninggoat5369]

@@peteraugust5295 I agree, but you got to blame your area for their laws, those that introduce them & those who vote for those who make them. The highstands and SUV's wouldn't be there on public hunting land and the hunter's wouldn't be so fat if the laws made them walk and carry their fancy equipment instead of trading their sloth for votes. Problem is with voting... most popular votes on shared social matters are cast by a bunch of lazy asses and elected politicians wanting votes that trade rje voters desire for "easy access & lazyness" against the better welfare for everyone with equal application in the end. In other words, if you want to compete on public lands in hunting sports, you have to have the same access to means and equipment the lazy hunters use because those without it are at a disadvantage for the limited game. Hunting well managed and sustained private land with the owner's own restrictions is where it's at these days even if the amount of land is much less than the public access land. One just has to have some way to legally access that private land in some way. That is a bit harder to do so, again.... most people choose the easy way and they go to public lands which, ironically, makes it harder for everyone using it in the end.

[@peteraugust5295]

@@grinninggoat5369 Most of the forest here is private. Ownership and huntingrights are two seperate things in our hunting law.

[@robertwilliamson6121]

Often used corn meal filler on top of the powder. In my Ruger Old Army black powder revolver when target shooting at 50 yards or less using a less than max powder load. No reason to use max charge and waste powder at short ranges.

Great video again. If I may ask, I just bought my first Hawken 45. I was wondering why you put semolina in a riffle as the round ball will sit on the powder anyway ? I do put some in my 1858 paper cartridge or when I load my 45 Colt to fill the gap, but I do not understand on a riffle.

[@arctodussimus6198]

An amazing video, very relaxing to watch . I only shoot Black Powder. But when hunting hogs, I always carry a pistol too. That way, I will have 2 shots. Sometimes one .50cal bullet just makes them mad. 😉

[@tacticaldog242]

Amazing!

[@josephbragg6388]

Round balls today are just as devastating as they were back then and so is black powder it is just as strong as smokeless powder. The biggest changes are done n ballistics.( Good video)

[@capandball]

If the shot placement is good, this is true. Let's nbot forget that this large bullet is very slow. Will not have the shock effect at all, but the hole will be as large as the expanded modern high velocty hunting bullet.

[@josephbragg6388]

And as the ball ricochetes through the body it does more damage till it stops.

Greetings from Ohio, As a fellow hunter I enjoy watching this videos very much and wanted to thank you for them. You're videos have interested me in black powder hunting and I plan to purchase a rifle for the next season. I was wondering what are some of the cooking methods you would use on a wild boar like this. I am assuming you eat the animal after killing it.

Dear Daniel, we do eat everything I shoot. The only food I can make is the Hungarian goulash. I learnt it from my mother. I will post a video about this in the future.

People never comment about it but good choice of clothes. You're a hunter, not a guerilla warrior, so dress like a hunter and not a guerilla warrior. I see hunters buying and wearing camo clothes to hunts all the time, like they're going on a manhunt or LARPing WW2 or something. And they either say they don't care or they don't have the money for hunting clothes, even tho the camo stuff usually costs more than proper hunting clothes unless they're from the military. And the worst thing is that hunting stores mainly sell the camo clothes. Things are changing with new hunters but the old ones just straight up break all the rules
