There's nothing like hunting with a vintage gun. You can watch all the videos you want with a new gun, latest scope, in the latest, greatest caliber, but an old gun is something special. Last year I shot a whitetail buck with a Winchester 1894 in .32-40. That was one of my favorite hunts.
I second that sentiment. I took my biggest buck this year with an 1891 carcano. Its my favorite hunt, besides my first when I took a big doe with a mosin 91/30.
Very true! You (I) connect to the history and your ancestors in very different way, by using old methods and equipment. The focus changes from beeing about the kill, to the experience about the hunt. Somewhat to prove I got some of the skills the oldtimers depended on. I prefere to use my old ferlach (Johann Siggot) drilling (20gauge & 7x72R) from 1931(not that old), with external hammers. Light, slim, and a beaty to use!

@@veteranironoutdoors8320 As a teenager, we had an old SMLE 303 at our farm house; hunted for deer with it, but there were few deer about. Several years later there was a buck that began crossing our small farm near our neighbors pond. I nailed up a plank in a forked tree and waited there one frosty morning; caught him chasing a doe and put a 170 grain slug through him with a 1937 Model 94 Winchester 30-30. He was stocky, and butter fat!
Honestly I’d like to go hunting someday
I love seeing someone care so much for the wildlife and the level of respect given to the game. As a hunter myself it’s reassuring to see videos like this. You are a genuine marksman and a role model for hunters around the world. Awesome video!!
Nice presentation
I know, it’s always great to watch
A game..? These animals have no gun. Hunting belongs to the past.
@@Jhoekstra You must have a diploma in wildlife ecosystems right.
@Hayden Lewis welcome to Europe from another european hunter 😁
I'm not a hunter, but I appreciate that so many are keeping the tradition alive with such classic firearms. Thank you.
When using found field stands, I often carry a pad to put on top of the log, rock, or stump to make my sitting more comfortable.
Your hunting videos are always beautiful and inspiring. Thank you.
Hunting in Europe. What a dream. With vintage weapons, no less. A fantastic tradition.
I have that rifle, except mine is a take down with a 4 round magazine. I use the exact same mold, the same brass and the same powder. I use a compressed charge of 80 grains of powder through a 2/3rds meter drop tube. It allows the powder to settle in the case better. I also use a magnum primer. Bullet lube is SPG or a concoction made of tallow and bee's wax. My accuracy is about the same. I have never taken the pin out of the mold.
You are a true hunter. And this is one of the best video's about hunting that I have ever watched.
Thanks! I will also try the compressed charge later, but as the largest game we have here is red deer, the 66 grains can also do the job. SPG is an excellent lube, I used that also on my bullets.
this is one of the most underrated gun channel on youtube!!
Ye definitely
I'm glad that several years ago ForgottenWeapons mentioned Capandball, so I got to know it!
Absolutely breathtaking good sir. Your videos seem to be the only ones that can even deliver a fraction of justice for Hungary’s stunning beauty. And good hunting to you as well.
Great video. You covered all aspects of the hunt from game management to cartridge load development to finally harvesting the game. Also great respect that your hunt club doesn't hunt over the areas where you put food for the animals. An excellent combination of European hunting tradition and American firearms technology. I salute you Sir.
The rifle arrived today and I dialed in the scope just a couple hours ago ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL . I haven’t shot with a scope in probably 25 years. The X on the left was my target. (the shot almost in the bullseye on the right X was my father in laws first shot after I made adjustments) The two shots circled are my first 2 shots. Then I brought it down - shot once. Then brought it over to the left. From there zeroed it in to dead center. This all was from 25 yards out. Follow instructions carefully when mounting the scope. So far I'm very happy with the purchase.
Oh boy, a new Cap and Ball? i guess i can stay up another 20 minutes.
Wisdom of doge.
Awoke to 4” of fresh snow and a fresh vid from my favorite Hungarian Hunter. Gonna be a good day. Glad to see you are well and keeping the traditions alive. You and your mates are good stewards of your beautiful country. Happy and healthy 2021 from NJ USA
Thanks! I wish we also still had the snow here... so few occassions recently.
A true hunter or huntress shows respect to his/her prey, even in their death - for in their death they give life.
Much respect. 🙏
i thought a female hunter was just a hunter
@@NORTH_CAROLINA_REAPER He's a "Nocturnal Recluse" I guess Vampires call the females "huntresses".
I really enjoy your cut scenes to the reloading equipment. Great content, one of my favorite channels!
I like the reloading scenes as well.
As always, a very good video.
When I retired from MLAIC competition (clay trap) I took up patched round ball shooting on paper and now I can good enough I hunt game too.
Many of my hunts a fruitless, but for me, it's about being out there enjoying the wilderness; seeing game is a bonus and to take the game is the icing on the cake.
In our NZ winter, I help on a peasant shoot as a beater and at seasons end, the beaters get one or two days shooting and as a clay target shooter, taking a high pheasant with a muzzle loading shotgun is so rewarding.
Please keep on making your videos please.
Love this! My grandfather used to talk about hunting wild boar in Hungary in the 1930s.
Thank you for taking us along. It nice to see the effectiveness of these “obsolete” cartridges especially combined with traditional hunting techniques!
Beautiful. My fiancee is a vegetarian, but when I tell her about how and why you hunt, she understands.She accepts that you have a great respect for your target, and loves your videos but she won't watch you shoot the animal which is fair enough. Greetings from England, best wishes for 2022!
i read a story once about a vegan who went on a hunting trip to understand why people hunt and she started hunting herself and only eats meat from animals she killed.
@@Sash2016 No they aren't. They're living a lie...
@@Sash2016 many living creatures are killed by the process of the farming equipment used to farm vegetables and vegan food. This leaves a sense of irony in your reasoning.
always a vegan in the group... let it go
You are a treasure! Great to see someone who has a deep respect for the natural world and fine classic firearms.
You live in a magical country my friend 🙂
Respectful hunting with traditional firearms and old-world charm. What’s not to love about this channel.
Respect is respect. While we dont place a final meal in their mouth, I usually offer a short prayer or meditation of thanks, I ensure that as little meat goes to waste as possible, and I always advocate for more and better habitat for animals, both game species and non game. Always nice to see other traditions.
These videos always help me get through our off-seasons. Thank you.
One thing I always do when hunting in snow or dense woods is place a piece of electrical tape over the muzzle. I've never had it affect accuracy in a notable way, and it can prevent dangerous muzzle obstructions when beating around in the bushes and falling in the snow. Not graceful, but very practical.
For many years I was tracking wounded game with my Hannover bloodhound and I always did the same.
Foam earplugs work good as well and also don't affect accuracy.
Thanks for promoting hunting as it really exists. As you mention. Hunting is about conservation and helping preserve nature. Here in the US, taxes on ammunition, and rifles and sporting goods go to protect the wildlife. Hunters do more for wildlife than any other group. A true hunter cares about the animals and hunting is also about experiencing nature.
What a great rifle. Very cool.
I’ve said it before and I will say t again, this is the best channel on UA-cam. Thanks for your work.
This is what I call ethical hunting, thank you for sharing !!!
Takes a true hunter to be able to succesfully take game, but a hunter who succesfully takes and respects the game belongs to the wild. Thanks for the content brother! Love the beautiful hills!
It was wonderful to see you in the field again, pursuing game with another fine vintage firearm,. Including the ballistic-gel comparison was a interesting, very relevant "sidebar" to the story of your hunt. Thank you-as always-for allowing us to join you.
It is truly great to see someone who pays respect to the game they harvest. Nice choice in firearms, as well. Well done, Sir! May God bless you.
You've captured the essence of what hunting is all about. The experience is the true reward. Filled with all those intangible rewards Nature alone can provide. Something that trophies on a wall could never match..
What a beautiful hunt. Your videos have inspired me to order a Pedersoli 1886 sporting classic fancy. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences.
You woin't regret oit. That's an excellent rifle. I also have Pedersoli 1886/71 repro.
@@capandball yes, I’ve seen the 86/71 that you featured in your videos. You have an awesome collection. Always looking forward to your next video.
This has got to be the best video that I have ever seen on hunting and respect for the animal.
Very Well Done Capandball....and Thank You!
Christ bless!
I felt like I was sitting there besides you enjoying the peace. I could almost smell the forest. This video woke up my old memories of my hunting days in my own country(Norway).
Thank you for a pleasant experience.
Respect for your hunting ethics.
admire your stalking patience! when you can keep the birds singing and doing their thing the pray stays very relaxed!
Watching you hunt is the next best thing to a Hungarian hunting trip.
Thanks.
I really enjoyed this video your terrain is very similar to what l hunt here in Southern Ohio and using that classic 1886, well it just doesn’t get any better than that for me. Your love of the land, wild game and guns make us a “Band of Brothers “. Thank you for sharing.
I love how you also show everything that happens around the hunt, from to feeding of the animals to the practice shots and bullet making. Keep it up!
This is hunting! Love to see people take the responsibility for good clean ethical hunting and the respect that goes with it.
Congratulations Sir on a great hunt.
I love the type of hunter you are. A lot of hunters like to glorify their kills and only hunt for sport or an ego boost. You understand that hunting is part of the cycle of life and how important it is to preserve nature.
Another beautiful old weapon and a great hunt. Thanks again
As always an excellent video. Always filmed with such elegance and class. I can also appreciate the respect you show for the game you hunt. Great shooting aswell. The 45-90 is my favourite cartridge coupled with the 1886 Winchester rifle. One of my most loved rifles I own. So seeing an old original used for hunting is always such a treat. Keep up the good work sir.
It was great to see a "fellow American" so far from home being appreciated and doing what it was made to do, take game. Noting is so American as a lever action Winchester.
Love your videos, I recently got a wild boar with my Steyr M95 chambered in the 8x50
Since I understand a bit of Hungarian, I naturally laughed out loud at 13:26 haha. Great video and beautiful gun as always!
"Azt a büdös kurva élet baszdmeg." 😂
I smiled at that part.
:D :D We were quite surprised.
#MeeToo 🤣
(except I know otherwise maybe 10 hungarian words in total)
Completely awesome, love that old rifle. I always give thanks to the creator for the game he provides. Great video.
Excellent simply excellent. Your respect for the environment as well as the game is commendable. I wish we had more hunters here in America with the dignity and class you've shown in this video. Salute Sir. By the way excellent vidiography. Well done.
Ugh, wish I'd watched this before Christmas. We didn't have much snow in Minnesota until after Christmas, and this was beautiful. Thanks!
i really appreciate your respect for the game, the environment, and the history. cheers!
You are fortunate to be able to live your dream! I have been carrying in Canada since the 1980s an original 1886 that was converted from 33 win to 45-70. I too have been fortunate to live the dream, my most memorable and successful harvest with that rifle was a bull elk in 1994 . Good hunting.
You can tell you respect nature very well, what a nice piece of history that lever action rifle
Thank you. An interesting and well-made video. I was impressed with the group you shot while standing at 50 metres. Best wishes from New Zealand.
i wasn't expecting such a complete review, really nice piece of history, here in argentina a lot of wild board hunters uses 44-40 1892, rolling blocks and 1891 mausers, its good to give the prey an opportunity, using modern equipment kills the vibe of ethical hunting and make it easier, in my childhood used to hunt with +100 years belgium shotguns and single shots to learn to take perfects shots or leave the animal. greetings! got a new sub
Much respect for your tradition. We must give thanks for the life of the animal that sustains our life. I have a 1873 Springfield Trap Door 45-70. One of my favorite rifles.
Wonderful shooting and good eats! I really enjoy the view of your hunting area and applaud the way your group feeds the game in winter. After all, we must take care of our wildlife and natural resources. Thanks for the video.
I always like your hunting videos. Your respect for the wild is admirable. I will be looking forward to your next video. Thank you.
I love the 45-90 I love teddy Roosevelt recently I’ve needed glasses and have been self conscious about it but looking back he also had them and in his spirit of caring for game I love to see that y’all set up feeding grounds and sanctuary spots that you do not hunt.
The 1886 is my favourite Winchester, this was a very enjoyable vid. Most of the cases that I had were lengthened 45-70 brass and annealing was necessary very often to avoid the mouth cracking. Most of the time I wouldn't crimp the cases to help avoid cracking and the bullet was snug enough with light plinking loads or loaded single shot. I tried once to get the most powder I could behind a 300gr bullet but it was not accurate. Lighter loading and heavier bullets worked the best, about 47-70 loadings and light smokeless plinking loads with kapok as a filler. Cheers.
„Azta büdös k*rva élet bazdmeg“😂😂😂😂😂😂 ez nagyon jó volt! Gyönyörü film Balázs!
Ez szép volt. :D
Great shot , what was the range? So satisfying to walk and stalk with historic rifles well done great filming and content.
cca 60 m. Thanks!
Tenho um rifle desse calibre 44 🇧🇷
Taking care of the forest creatures is a great tradition. Makes things better for the game and the hunters. Let's hope it continues and spreads.
Beauty. pure clean pure beauty. Having walked to woods with a rifle just as you. Hear the sounds, smell the air, feel pure raw nature as I look for the bounty. Fail in procuring a harvest but enjoy the day regardless. and what a beauty of a rifle and load. My compliments sir. You show the kernel of being Human.
Its funny to think about all the modern ammunition factories introducing new high-tech projectiles made from exotic materials and alloys in all sorts of shapes and complicated manufacturing processes....and then you get absolutely perfect performance from that cast lead hollow point over some black powder.....reliable expansion, total weight retention, excellent penetration.
To me, it just makes many modern projectiles look like over-engineered wastes of money, designed to attract us with their new shininess.
Funny enough, I read an article with the exact same sentiment in a Hunting magazine about 15 years ago.
Your video was calming and soothing and refreshing. . I love the rifle.
capandball always produce great videos. Whether technical, or hunting, I always look forward to what is presented. Thank you!
So many people share their hunting adventures....but they rarely share the sounds of nature...they have some kind of music blasting away...
Thank you very much for sharing
I just bought a new mic for the camera, so in future films this will also be improved
@@capandball AUSOME.... I look forward to seeing your videos.... Me, I need,to spend more time in the wilderness... woweeee
Always one of my favorite hunting channels. I have a new to me marlin 1893 in 38-55 that was produced in 1894 that I am trying to get into working order so I can take a deer or boar here in Oklahoma with.
What a fantastic rifle and great video! Thank you!
St. Hubrect is my Patron Saint and taught me a lot about respecting God's creation during, and after the hunt. Although in America, I do the same of placing oak leaves over the wound and praying The Lord's prayer.
Thank you. I've followed your channel for several years now. God Bless you and the Hungarian people. ✝️
Wonderful hunt in a beautiful forest! Congratulations on your success, and great cinematography! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Oh thank God- I needed a capandball hunting video
For the last 30 years I like hunting in my beloved hungarian neighbourcountry. So I like also to see you in your video stalking with this old lever action shooting on 50 meters as I always would prefer too. That's the meaning of hunting and that you in Hungary would call "legelönek megfelelö". Jo vadasztot, Wolfgang.
You got me taking my inline over my 06 these days.
Really appreciate your Heart for hunt with an American Classic. Thanks C&B
Excellent video great voice over, lovely to see the hunter shoot with an open sight lever action rifle.
Love watching these hunting vids gets me in the mood can’t wait to hunt this season. I’m Canadian but love seeing the European landscape and some unique European hunting rifle/shotguns.
Keep up the good work.
Beautiful. Excellent production, thank you for sharing.
There is little finer than wandering alone,or with your dog,hunting.To sit quietly in the depths of the country whilst gradually the wildlife restarts it routine ignoring you is life enhancing.
What a rifle Winchester made,I would love the privilege of firing one,excellent video,thank you
I truly enjoyed your sportsmanship. Great video.
I use a fairly modern 14 year old Marlin 1895G in 45-70 and I just pretend it is vintage. I use lead hollow points and lead flat nose bullets as well in my reloads. I do not use black powder though just because I like the cleaner easy to clean up smokeless powder. Fantastic when you can get wild game you shot yourself for the holidays! Always enjoy your channel!
Excellent video, great shot in low light with iron sights on a beautiful rifle, we hunters are very fortunate to be active participants in nature, not just observers from the sidelines.
Hungary must indeed be a beautiful country. Hood shooting with a traditional rifle. Nothing tastes better than wild boar in a brown gravy.
Got the same rifle from my granddad very accurate gun
Gentleman, we pay you respect 🙏 for showing your respect to the nature.you have a rich tradition 😉 👍
Watching those from one of the most populated cities in the world. It really gives me nostalgia for my family's original mountainous country side over 15,000 km away. I miss hunting with my grandpa. If I go back, I'd love to do the same with a lever action black powder riffle instead of the shotguns and bold actions we used. I miss the woods and tracking in silence.
Thank you, there was so much good content in this video!
Thanks for sharing your experience, great detail and tradition, thanks.
Great video! Exhaustive and well rounded.
As a matter of fact, it’s better than any Hollywood movie produced today.
It was a great topic, an iconic American firearm successfully used in the old world.
Bravo!
A man,a rifle and an untouched Nature around, every good guy's dream
I use the same bullet in my Marlin .45-70, cast with 1-30 alloy and driven to about 1400 fps/425 m/s. I get the same result from a well-placed shot on our blacktail deer...straight down in a heap. And it doesn't tear up a lot of meat, either.
For those interested, it's Lyman mold #457122. Cast them soft and keep the velocity low, these aren't a high velocity design and will work best at black powder velocities.
One of the best hunting videos I've ever seen.
I also have a 1886 in 45-70 in Marlin using a400 grain pill, 200meter shot not a problem. Great video 👍😊
Amazing how you killed 2 boars with one shot when they were standing 10 yards apart. Simply amazing!
:) not a miracle. The second fell in a log. I am not that fast unfortunately.
Greatest respect to you, sir. Far too many around where I live that only care about meat/trophies. I actually took an M39 Finnish Mosin Nagant in the woods whitetail deer hunting this year because the scope on my regular rifle got wrecked. Didn't see anything, but it was nice getting out in the woods for a time.
I usually go out in the woods 4-5 times for one shot. But I do not really care. :)
Your hunting videos remind me of the old Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset: "One does not hunt in order to kill. One kills in order to have hunted."
F....ing love this channel... best real hunting and maintenance hunting areas as such olg guns
as a hunter,respect the game you hunt.A GREAT HUNT WITH AN OLD GUN.TAKE CARE
A gentle, courteous narration delivered with diction that would shame many native English speakers.
Excelent weapon. Always enjoy the "prep" it goes into the loading.
