Hunting with the 1873 Winchester rifle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2024
- The 1873 Winchester has a very unique place in my heart. Being a child I never dreamed about having a bolt action rifle, the rifle for me was always operated by a lever. Hunting with a cartridge charged the traditional way with black powder gives a special touch to the day as well. And if all these things are happening in snow? Well, that's just perfect. Let me guide you through a few days in the woods. Sighting, using the Ideal tool for making cartridges, target shooting, making a lunch from the game, all included in this episode.

The cowboy/frontiersman is a lost art. This channel brings it back.
You can still a bunch of real working cowboys in the US, especially in the South.
@@hoppinggnomethe4154 well the word cowboy has greatly changed over the years but I agree. You can find some people who follow the old ways. But when frontiersmen like this is certainly lost because after a days hunt you can just go home kick your feet and watch tv.
Cowboy/ Frontiersman , Lost only to the masses.
It is alive and well
Best Wishes from Montana! M.H
No worries, there may not be many but they are still here.
@@hoppinggnomethe4154 I don't mean to be critical, but your comment lacks a critical action verb. I am on the edge of my seat, awaiting the completion of your comment! 🤠
That was awesome in 50 or 60 years from now your son will look back on days like this and appreciate them more than anything money can buy 👍.
Except vintage rifles. Nothing beats vintage rifles.
@MichaelSewll. Your comment is so true.
The gift of knowledge, wisdom and survival. It will age like wine and be appreciated as much when the time comes
In the Top 5 firearms channels on UA-cam. Realism, results, no fluff.
Duelist1954 and this one are my favorites.
I am almost speechless. This was the finest hunting video I have ever seen. Your country is so beautiful. Making fire, casting bullets, bagging a deer, hiking with your son, the aerial shots.....it was just outstanding! Thank you for making this.
Absolutely the finest video to show what hunting is all about, everything from reloading to eating the game in beautiful countryside, perfect.
So true. I was enchanted by the simplicity of it. I also need to find me one of those old reloading tools.
If more fathers would do this with their children , the world would be a better place . Thank you for this wonderful video , Balaz . 👍🏼
Exactly right. There is no better bonding than like this.
Huntsman's salute!
The times spent hunting and with your children are truly the most precious. Well and truly done, my friend.
Your earlier videos with your 1873 is what originally attracted me to your channel. They even got me back into shooting as I had given it up for 45 years. I now own an 1873 like yours as well as an 1892 Rossi in stainless steel, both in .357 magnum. I even reload with an Ideal tool not unlike yours and it reminds me of tying my own flies for trout and salmon. Both the fly tying and the simple hand reloading I find to be as enjoyable, if not more so, than the shooting and fly casting itself. I still no longer hunt or fish as I had my day, actually many, many days in pursuit of game and gamefish and I am content to leave them alone to flourish now. I don’t harbor any animosity towards others that still go afield so long as they are respectful and I think your videos show what I mean when i say being respectful. Thanks for another enjoyable look at how peaceful and enjoyable hunting can be. Keep on keepin’ on.
This is a great video. From making the ammunition to the taking of the deer. Then sharing a meal with your son and dog too. It does not get better than that.
Beautiful country and thank you for sharing your hunt. There’s something very special about hunting with a lever action rifle in the mountains. I use my grandfather’s old Savage 99 in 303 Savage that he bought new in 1924. Also, I hunt in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. 👍
Same here. Just this year, I've taken 4 deer here in SW PA with my dad's Marlin 336 in 30-30 that he bought in the 1950's (after WWII), It was one of the very few things that he ever bought new for himself. I put a scope on it. It's a tack driver.
I have my grandfather’s 99 in 303 savage
It needs complete restoration
Love that gun
It was ahead of it’s time
@@shadetreemech290 Those are some solid guns. If it was in the 1950s you didn't need to specify that it was after ww2 though lol, unless you actually meant the late 1940s? The 336 entered production shortly after the war I believe.
This has got to be on of the all time greats of this channel! The perfect combination of historicity and good family vibes. God bless you and your family capandball!
I started watching your channel because of your presentation of lesser known vintage firearms and stayed because of your hunting videos. The romantic, poetic way you present the hunt and being so respectful not only to the game but to the hunting ground itself is absolutely amazing.
This is a far cry from most videos where the hunters are treating it all like an amusement and posing to photos as if they had just killed a T-Rex with their bare hands. You show that ,we the hunters, are merely part of the life cycle and not masters of Mother Nature.
Also the quick history of the gun, preparation of the meat and finally you enjoying the fruits of the hunt with your family(including animals) is an icing on already incredible videos. Respect from Poland!
Beautiful rifle. But I will never give up my 1892 in .44 WCF, that has been in the family since 1892. And has taken everything in Pennsylvania up to white-tailed deer. Always dependable even after 131 years. Just need a bit of TLC to keep going.
I can understand that. the 92 is an excellent rifle!
I cannot and will not try to add to the comments about this superlative video. It is as close to perfect as one could hope for. Like others, I am not sure I shoot to reload or reload to shoot, but this video touches all the bases, right down to passing on some of what you have learned to the next generation. I wish I had had someone like you to mentor me when I was young enough to learn, but I am getting up there (71) and that time has more or less passed me by. So I will watch and enjoy your videos instead. Please keep them coming as your time permits.
Wow! Awesome hunt! A delicious meal! And a wonderful winter picnic with sight seeing to round it off!😃👏 I'll show this to my father. I've shown him your hunts before and he really liked your Red Stag hunt! He'll enjoy this for sure😄
Happy Sunday to ya good sir!👋
Great video! I took my great grandfathers colt lightning out in 38 WCF a few years ago in Pennsylvanias rifle season. It felt good hunting with an old family heirloom.
Absolutely beautiful work as ever. This is sure to be a memory your son cherishes all his life.
I have the 1873 and enjoy it the moment I pick it up. Watching you brought back fond memories of my son and I hunting enjoying gods gift of nature and companionship. Fresh air, family, atmosphere. Bravo 👏!
Thanks for sharing another outdoor adventure with us! These are my favorite, and the children with you will remember the experience for all time. Cheers!
What a great video ! You covered all the bases from interesting bullet making, shooting them then hunting with them and wrapping it all up with an idyllic meal in the forest with your son. What a lucky man you are and what a lucky boy your son is.
Thank you for a beautiful video! Blessings to you and your family
What everybody else said, I say too!! I can’t resist commenting on how the field reloading segment fills in the blanks in the original picture of the 1873 as part of a wilderness conquering system! Bravo!!
Memories your son will look back on fondly. Cheers
Just wow. What a blessing for your son. And what a joy to watch. Thank you.
Thank you so much for all of your videos, but this one is now my favorite. Your appreciation of the natural world as well as the old skills and ways comes shining through. Even though you often feature some of the same things I do, I always come away with something new I learned from you.
As you know, sharing it with family makes it even better.
Thank you my friend. Keep your videos coming.
Wonderful film highlighting family values and respect and appreciation for the shot animal and the environment. Thank you.
All of your videos inspire me to try just a bit harder. Sincerely appreciated.
Best one yet, this made me remember my step dad. He loved to shoot and the outdoors. This video truly touched my heart and beautiful country. There is no greater artist than our lord and savior Jesus Christ. Thank you, brother 🙏
Thanks for the great video.A good shot that brought the game down quickly and humanely. Nothing beats using traditional methods in the field and especially with your family that will make some memories that will last a lifetime.Looking forward for more in 2023 from Australia.
I saw the colour case hardening in the opening seconds and pressed thumbs up.
Another beautiful gem, Balasz!
I can't say a better sentence :) Thx for yours hunting videos with bP weapons :) You made my day ! Greetings from France
This was amazing. Such a picturesque scene, enjoying the beautiful outdoors, tracking your prey and loading your own cartridges.
Absolutely love the high quality presentation. So much value, minimal music and fill. Respect for natural resources and respect for family. Excellent.
I appreciate you always give thanks for the game and for it's life given. Great video showing a true sportsman from start to finish! 👍✝️🙏🙏
Awesome! First time I've seen anyone demonstrate the 'camp craft' of using one of the old reloading tools.
I have a Winchester reloading tool, Pat. Oct 20th 1874, for my made in 1900, Marlin 'Safety' 1894 25-20Win Take Down. My Winchester model doesn't have the bullet mould or sizing hole like your Ideal model has.
Perhaps your best video yet, Németh! Thank you for letting me come along.
Wow! I did not expect this. Not only shooting the 1873 rifle, making a fire with flint and steel and casting bullets, sizing them, lubricating them and loading them in cartridge cases, then taking the deer, cooking it and sharing it with your son and dog. One of the best YTube videos I have ever seen! Bravo!
Respect for Your movies. History, firearm beauty, bushcraft... all in one! Priceless is view of You face after shooting! Good time for new movies. Sunday afternoon or evening is time for relax with Good Movie.
I enjoy your videos so very much! Back in my younger days I did very similar hunts with my caplock muzzleloaders. Your son will always remember and cherish time spent with you in the woods.
I just love your channel, your videos are all about history and story telling, craftsmanship, shooting with beautiful weapons, making good food, drinking wine, keeping the traditions alive and hunting in beautiful natur. Keep op the great work. I have even tried to make food like you in the woods and it was great! Thankyou for what you are doing and greetings from Denmark :D
I have the same reloading tool for my 40-82. A really cool working piece and also a piece of history.
A really lovely video of a beautiful country! The memories that you made with your son as shown in this video will be some of his favorite for the rest of his life.
Another gold standard video. Thank you.
Even the Model 1876 Winchester came with a bullet mold when you bought one. Reloading at the campfire was the way they did it. Thanks for demonstrating.
It is so great to see a man with a love of firearms in another country who understands the joy and benefits of gathering his own meat and spending time with family. Your work Sir is outstanding please keep it up and may God Bless you and your Family.
I like this 1873 model rifle I would like to have one! Congratulations on your deer.Excellent shooting!I like they way you primitive way of starting the fire and casting the bullets and the powder charge.I like the way you prepared the deer! Also the time that you spent your son .He will have fond memories of this forever.David Back from Menifee co KY.
Another wonderful memory, my friend! May you make many more!
What an AWESOME video - love your showing the work to create the cartridges, the harvest in the beautiful woods, and you’re sharing some time outdoors with your son. That’s what’s it’s all about! God bless from a Hungarian American!
I love your channel and the great tradition you keep alive. I loved the laugh when you rang the gong at 300 meters.
This video made me shed a tear. I dont know why but, I love your channel and the educational videos you make. You are one of the reasons I fell in love with hunting and became a Hunter in Serbia. Maybe one day I travel to Hungary for a hunting trip! Best regards to you and your family!
Breath taking the beauty and time with your son and the Winchester was just a extra great place to the adventure thank you for sharing this
Давно слежу за вами!Вы молодец,и сына правильно приучаете.А стрелок вообще от Бога.
Lovely, just lovely. God bless you and your family. I can't wait to make memories like that with my children.
This is what makes hunting a sport. Thank you for promoting this with your videos
beautiful countryside . your children will remember those days very warmly . god's blessings to you and your family.
A masterpiece.
Well done!
👍👍
What a wonderful video! Beautiful scenery with seasoned venison cooked outdoors over an open fire. I found myself more interested in the handloading tool than in the rifle. It brought back childhood memories of reloading my father's cartridges, one of my chores. Many thanks for the video.
I just love how you use all of the old traditional methods it really is great to see. I am excited every time I see a new one of your videos. Thanks for sharing what you know. Times like those children will never forget. You live in a beautiful area and near the woods what a treat. Thank you for sharing.
@capandball I think your channel is the most premium in showing the old ways of blackpowder traditions and hunting ethics together in one channel. Highest quality bar none, keep up the good work from beautiful Hungary.
Fantastic. You don't upload often, but videos like these make the wait 100% worthwhile.
Well sir, definitely one of the best video you’ve made. Beautiful rifle, beautiful home and memories with your son.
Beautiful video, thank you for sharing these moments with us.
Cheers! 💚
So wonderful. I love following your voyage from firearm, and this time loading tool, to the stalk then taking of the game to your reverence for your kill. This is mostly lost here in America.
Extraordinary well done video!
The tool is so well engineered and thought out. So pleasing to watch.
I still need to pick up one of these, they’re absolutely gorgeous and so historically significant. Once again, great video as always. I love how informative and entertaining they always are and the camera work is very good, plus the voiceover just brings it all together.
I remember days in the woods with my dad as a boy. Those are cherished memories now and skills that haven't been forgotten.
Thank you so much for sharing this look into your world. You are blessed beyond measure.
Loved the video , I still remember when I used to go fishing with my brother and my father , never going to forget those moments in the outdoors
Great hunt and an awesome visit. Thank you for taking us.
Excellent video , wonderful rifle , i have my grandfather's model 99 .300 savage , its a treasured heirloom, he used to hunt in the white mountains of new Hampshire usa , they look very much like the mountains in you're video . Thanks for bringing us along.
Beautiful shot, very clean. Memories forever. Doesn't get better than that. 😎
So good to see, the proper use for a great rifle, and sharing with your Son...and us..thank you🙏
For me, as a young teen when I first started watching your videos, my dream was to have a 1860 Henry as my 'one rifle Ill ever need'. That has since changed, as I started studying more military history and understood the 1860 was not a military weapon. Nonetheless there are times when I feel I do need to pick up some lever actions..
Right now it's snowed in in Texas, the roads are closed and Im just home admiring the snow. This video came out at the perfect time.
Going into the woods, chasing deer, reloading ammo, teaching your son how to do the same, C'EST LA VIEE!!!
This was a perfect hunting video. It shows all the virtues of this timeless sport.
That was truly fantastic. Nothing like a rifle a dog and family in the Forest. I wanted to go hunting so badly this past year but I got sick the end of year before and it destroyed my lungs. That and my spine and I can barely walk a few yards. Now you've made me want to get back out into the woods but hunting season is over! It's even more disappointing for me because I see deer crossing right behind my place everyday! At least I can live vicariously through you. I love your videos.
“:23 so it was destiny that bright you with the Winchester 73! Hope more Winchester videos come.
That was some of the best UA-cam content there is! Thank you for your work, I thought appreciate and enjoy it. Please continue to create it.
Beautiful just beautiful
that loading tool is awesome and puts the lee loader to shame.
Ideal tool made in the 19th century.
Congrats! That's the proper education for kids. He won't forget this for sure.
Regards from Brazil.
Outstanding video.. don’t worry your kids will always look back on these times. Mine was not a outdoors person but my son remembers our times golfing and fishing. ❤️
Really awesome to see the ideal reloading tool used! Good stuff and great hunt!
This is such a good thing , having parents that came from the Old Country , as a family we have done things just as you are doing ... : )
Ferenc from British Columbia
Wonderful Son and a very nice Dog you have!
Your Son will never forget these Days with his Father😊
VERY NICE......times like this are very special and will live on forever thru generations and stories. God Bless
My children, ages 38, 39, and 40, all remember and talk about outings we had, like this one, over thirty years ago. And, everything tastes better outside.
"The rite of the Last Bite", nice to see you practice it. I learned it very young and practiced it all my life. Europe has many traditions that respect the animal. I teach it where ever I hunt.
Really enjoying this channel more and more
An 1873 Winchester was the first Winchester that I purchased during my collecting. As I recall it had a twenty-six inch barrel and was in 38-40. It had a bead front and buckhorn rear sights. At the time, Dominion made ammunition that was safe to use in it so I bought four boxes which gave me lots of cases for reloads. The case necks were very thin and had to be annealed after two or three loadings. As far as hunting goes, I think I got a couple of pot-shots at grouse but I left them to raise more chicks for another day! Always enjoy your vids. Cheers, Dan.
Looks like awesome times and l'm sure you're Son will remember those days afield. That rifle is beautiful as well as your country. Thanks for the nice review and sharing your hunt and part of your life with us here in the US. 👍👍
It is best moments of the life! I'm glad that you keep family traditions.
I have to say that I never seen such beautiful hunting video.
Its real and its not just about "killing" as lot of people think.
I really love Your videos. I thougt that I will see video where You hunt with lever action rifle, but I saw much much more.
I like Your style of videos. Please, keep making them for us 😊
Greetings from Czech Republic
A day truly worth living and remembering. May the war gods stay away from your beautiful land. They have visited so much I fear they may dwell there. God bless and keep you and yours.
Great documentary about the use of a rifle for hunting from beginning to the end. You are a very respectful hunter and a great maker of ducomentaries. I also like to effort you take to obtain the special tools for making ammunition in the wild. Nagyon tisztelem önt.
I love hunting with my son.
I understand this video personally.
Thank you for doing what you do.
Simple, calm and pure.
Outstanding presentation.
As always.
That was superb video and great experience for you and your son I belive. It was very peaceful and wholesome to watch. Thank you Balash!
Yet another beautiful film, You Tube keeps taking you out of my recommendations and I keep looking for you!
Lovely time with your son.
Good health to you both. ❤️🏆
Amazing video honestly one of my favorites from you. This reminds my of my native American culture and practices passed from my father as I will one day pass to my sons and daughters. To all great hunters and family traditions around the world. 🤝
