Yes, far too many hunters are focused solely on the kill or the size of the antlers. If they dont kill or only kill a smaller animal, they feel a failure and treat it that way. I believe they are completely missing the point.

Love Swiss rifles! I've taken elk and mule deer in Montana and whitetail deer in Wisconsin with my K31's. Also won a bronze and a silver medal at the National Matches at Camp Perry with one. I made some pheasant Paprikash just the other day! (My favorite recipe from my grandmother)
Another top notch video! I show these to my Hunter's Education students here in Michigan. They get a lot of good knowledge from them, especially the idea of that a successful hunt is NOT one where you harvest a big buck. These videos also give them a great impression of the preparation that goes into a hunt. Also, I have hunted with my K-31 rifle and yes, it shoots that good. Wish my eyes were up to the task these days.
I really enjoyed hunting with my K-31. I reload ammunition for it and have taken Antelope, Mule Deer and Elk with it. The triggers are phenomenal. It is alway a toss up on hunting with the K-31, 1896 Swedish Mauser or M28-30 Finnish Mosin. I hunt with modern rifles and as a gunsmith, I build the calibers no one seems to make any longer or in a style to my liking. Your rifle is in exceptionally good condition and thank you for sharing the video and your hunt
Greetings from Southern West Virginia. I really have enjoyed your channel, love the videos like this to the American Civil War pistols and rifles. I live in a small coal mining town in WV where back in the 1920s and earlier, a lot of European immigrants came to southern WV to work in the coal mines including lots of Hungarians. In the home I grew up, it was located in what we call coal camps, and our next door neighbor was a old Hungarian widow that lost her husband in the coal mines. In fact, all our neighbors were widows who had coal miner husbands at one time. But our Hungarian neighbor was special. Her name was Rosie Angelet, probably due to Rosie complexion at one time. She was known as Aunt Rosie to me. She used to be a cook at the grade school many years ago. I loved her dearly. Sorry for the story unrelated to shooting, but anything Hungarian puts her in my mind. She was a proud Hungarian, I remember when we would knock on her screen door, she would make a funny sound with her mouth to let you know she heard ya. I really miss her.
My wife is looking for a goulash recipe. My last name is Toth lol. My grandfather came to the US from Budapest in the eary 1900's. I love watching your videos. Seems you have a nice range to shoot on.

Another wonderful video! When I first saw your hunting videos some years ago, they've shaped me, becomming more rooted in hunting and hunting tradition. Even though the "last bite" is not part of our tradition here in Sweden, I still think it's a wounderful and respectfull rite. I've adopted it myself and when I shot my first moose this fall, I gave her the last bite and it felt very good. I'm the only one in our hunting team right now that practice this but I will pass it down to my kids, they are becoming old enough to follow me into the woods. I also gone away from modern designed hunting clothing with camouflage and went with older wool clothing and loden coat, bought secound hand for no money at all. Works good, maybe not as practical and lightweight as modern hunting clothes but way more stylish. Thank you once again for your inspiration! Best regards from Sweden.
A wonderful video, I've always had an interest in the k31 for hunting, seeing it included in such a wholesome hunt from start to finish makes me so glad. Love your work, G'day from Australia
I definitely agree on the safety being a bit tricky to work when you have wild game in front of you! I had a big buck walk up from behind me last year. An awesome buck! I heard him walk up and when I saw him I was 1) COMPLETELY flabbergasted! 2) trying to get the safety off. The problem I had was I couldn't get my finger thru to hole with my big wool gloves on. As soon as he walked past me, I ripped my glove off, took the safety off, and when he walked into my shooting lane... POW!! Winner winner Venison was for dinner!😁
Your videos are full of love my friend. Enjoyed EVERYTHING, as always it is a meditative and educational journey of the mind, spirit and the senses. There is excellence in all you do. Thank you🙏🏻
I always enjoy your videos. We are finally getting some snow in Michigan and the muzzle loading deer season starts in a few days. I love hunting in the snow and I also like goulash
Thank you for another great video. I like the Schmidt Rubin K31 however I did not buy one when they were first surplused and now the cost is more than I want to spend. Regardless I have other military surplus rifles I use to hunt with occasionally. I have a nice 1939 German K98 Mauser manufactured by J.P. Sauer and Sohn, and an 1873/84 US Springfield Trapdoor carbine in 45/70 caliber. Those two are my favorites for deer hunting. I very much enjoyed learning the correct way to make Goulash, and that will be my next project. Thank you for sharing your hunt and your recipe. Hungary looks to be a beautiful country.
Seriously. Essentimental thoughts at the beginning of the video about the beauty of simple hunting. Beautiful shots of the snow-covered forest. Accurate presentation and historical placement of the gun and ammunition. Capturing the ethical killing of game. The perfect presentation of a simple recipe. And in the end, the great thing about sharing it all with family and friends. I'm all about archery, but your Christmas guitar song and this video got me thinking. You're awesome, Balázs
this wonderful little doe was there for you and your family to enjoy. well done and with as much sportsmanship as possible ok you inspired me to make a nice stew tomorrow
Wonderful experience. I have wanted a Schmitt Rubin, G11 or K31, since I first saw one may years ago. Superb firearm. They always came around when I was least able to afford one. Good to see your family life. Hungary has become a lace I want to visit. Beautiful snowy forest.
This is why I hunt ! Nothing better then the simple things in life like range meat and home grown goodness veggies, I’m in Australia not many people seem to know we have 7 species of deer here, love European food , especially Hungarian Croatian and Yugoslavian cuisine ,worked with all 3 of these nationalities on projects was so fortunate to work with a Croatian formworker rite up to his retirement, he gave me his pinchbar on his last day I still have it 38 years on a true gentleman and great family man !
Absolutely, I am of Hungarian and Austrian background immigrated to Australia in 1968 I was only 8 but my uncles were game keepers in Hungary so progression into hunting was normal, I hunted deer and rabbits with my father and uncle, we only ever used open site rifles, but they have now passed and I still hunt on my own property but unfortunately need a scope due to my failing eye sight, I learned a lot of traditional Hungarian cooking from my mum. I would be so much poorer as a person if I did not hunt or learn those great traditional recipes 🇭🇲🇹🇯
...perfect video for the holidays...perfect rifle, perfect hunt, respect for the game and a very nice get together with family and friend😀s enjoying fabulous Hungarian food...with Egri Bikaver or Tokaj...
Lovely video, splendid cartridge and rifle for this purpose. Many times I’ve gone hunting just to take a nap in the snow. Best times of my life, to reference angling: Many fisherman will go their whole lives not realizing it wasn’t the fish they were trying to catch! Good health to you.
Awesome video and perfect timing. Just got our first good cold snap here in Wilmington NC so my Fiancée will be obliged to make Transylvanian Goulash and i will be forced to eat it, until it comes out of my ears. I have yet to even hit the woods in search of a decent whitetail but, i plan on doing so this weekend. Ill be bringing my Thompson Center .58 Hawken and of course my Colt 3rd Generation 1860 Army that I never leave home without. Thank you for the excellent presentation on an interesting rifle and the cooking portion is an awesome addition.
This is the best most complete video presentation on what the tradition of gathering, preparing and being blessed by the Good Lord should be and has been for ages of time! Thank you for preserving the time honored traditions and sharing what the true good life to live, should be and is! Love the cameo by the Swedish mora, that is a staple in my food prep as well as my EDC field companion. Merry Christmas!
When my father was a young man (1938), he was hunting in the North Carolina woods on Christmas Eve. His gun was a single shot shotgun, something like an Iver Johnson Champion, 12 gauge. He spotted a wild turkey and stalked it, but every time he got close the bird took off and flew out of range. Snow began to fall (rare in central North Carolina), and he was able to track the turkey by its tracks as it grazed on wild berries and seeds. It took all day, with the bird flying out of range when it detected his approach. As the light was failing, the snow dampened the sound of his movements and he was able to creep within range and got the bird. He tied the legs together and hung his prize over his shoulder from the shotgun barrel. This was his family's Christmas turkey.
Loved the Christmas video you did a year or two ago. This had the same great vibes for sure. Thank you! The cheaper new production guns will do just as they always do, as they've always existed.
Congratulations on your red stag! Like the k31 Swiss Mauser. I hunt with old vintage guns and especially with old surplus weapons.David Back from USA. I been watching your videos for 5 years now.
I would definitely call that Porkolt, not Gyulas. We make Gyulas, Porkolt, and Paprikas (among many other traditional dishes) all the time for our Sunday family lunches here in the US. Magyar food is the best in the world. My favorite way to cook any of these dishes is in a bograch over an open fire. YUM!
Thanks for sharing this adventure, fortunately I am proficient at cartridge loading as I’m sure most of your viewers are. I do enjoy a stalk in the snow.🇬🇧 Roe haunch for a Christmas meal with my family, cooked in Pizza oven .
I am absolutely happy that you have the k31 on here. It is a rifle I would love to get ahold of. Love the thought that you said about not having to pulled the trigger for a good hunt. Also very nice shooting at 65 and 100 meters. Here it equates to 71 and 109 yards. For me at 71 yards with open sites the target is a blur.(time for glasses) Good shooting. Glad you got your deer. Love your channel. Thank you so much.
WMH! Beautiul video, took my first game on driven hunts with a k31. Tried one on a range and fell in love with the trigger. Bought one - as student for 200€, threaded a trigger stop, put it in a boyds stock to be abled to repeat without hitting my face, put a scope mount in the rear sight base and rigged a case deflector. Great rifle, fast straight pull for little money. LOS Hunter bullets worked well for me and did surprisingly low meat damage. Shot a second year female roe dear twice - came there on a driven hunt just looking around standing still 40m away - behind the shoulder blade, baam - nothing happened, ratsch ratsch - oh no no wounded animal - baam, nothing happens. " WTF what did you just do - better put that rifle away, heart sank down in the shoes". A minute of seemingly searching something to eat it just keeled over with two hits a cm apart😂. A BRX has taken its place for the threaded muzzle, shorter, lighter, more accurate but i will never sell it-have to take it out again...
Extremely well made carabine the 31, the 11 was its parent, also a great piece. Your videos are always well made. Ideally, the grooves on the wood are where the left hand's fingers are supposed to nest, the belt strap is to adjust and brace under the left elbow tightly. Supposedly, since I do also find it a bit of an uncomfortable "intended" position and prefer as you do. It's the perfect rifle, not too long, nor too short, respectable caliber with a good velocity, a bit violent on the kick, easy reload with the straight pull action, acceptable weight. Two types of wood were used, a walnut version, uncommon, and a beech one, common, with the first being a bit lighter and, for whom cares about such minimal details, having a tiny bit more of value. Sadly on training sessions and competitions, official ones, they uses only the full metal jacket military ammunition, which ruins the barrel after a while (1500-2000 shots).
I remember when you used to see piles of them at the gun shows. I kind of regret not getting one then. And they were usually in really good condition. Now, even something like the crusty Mosins that look like they spent more time as a tanker's bar than as an infantry rifle can draw a not awful price.
Thank you for sharing. I have a K31 and wouldn't feel handicapped hunting anything in the lower 48 states. I would install a Mojo peep sight on it for for more precise aiming, though. In my experience the K31 has the best trigger of any mil-surp rifle.
I always enjoy your style of hunting as that is how my brother and I prefer to hunt, the only real hi tech things we use are binoculars and a cellphone lol. This season I carried my Lee Enfield no4 mk2* full wood as it seemed most fitting for a November hunt. I love how you detail your equipment for the audience in all your videos. Thanks again from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
Great video Balázs. A little different to your usual especially through the last 10 minutes but I really enjoyed it and hope you do more like it. Merry Christmas.
I am definitely going to try this. My wife and I make a venison stew with a whitetail neck roast, lots of butter, beef stock, whiskey, garlic, salt and pepper. We leave it slow cooking all say until the bones fall out.
I love these hunting videos so much. Some day I would love to hunt in an ancient European forest like this. For now I will be grateful for whitetails in the Adirondacks of NY, though. Loved the cooking segment as well. I just can't wait to try this recipe myself with some homemade pasta elbows!
Great timing. Gun deer season just ended last Sunday here in Wisconsin (US). I like to hunt with a flintlock of some variety. My taste buds are drooling over the goulash.
I always love to see the old swiss rifles being appreciated :) By the way, here in the homeland of those guns, it is also quite common to own a G11 and a K31 and loving both rifles for their characteristics.
I like the photography of those little details that you only seem to really pick up on when you're on a hunt. Also I am half Austrian, so I love goulash :)
I love your videos. The forest looked so beautiful in the snow. I’m going to make goulash to your recipe. Unfortunately, here in Scotland, I will not be hunting the deer 🦌 but buying from the store. I’m sure it will be delicious. Thanks.
Watching your video I can feel the snow falling from a wind blown branch down the back of my neck. Merry Christmas.🙏 I should have bought a K31 when they were cheap,.........Damn.
I picked up a Bad Ace scope mount that does not require drilling and tapping. I can use a scope on my k31 now and have not made any permanent damage to the original rifle.
My grandmother was Austrian/Hungarian and her recipe included corn and green beans. The corn struck me as odd, but apparently it was commonly sent as food aid by the US and became more common that way.
It's always a good time to watch your videos, new or old. I'm not a hunter but the way you tell your stories I thought it was me. On the other hand, because of your videos, I started shooting black powder again...my new Pedersoli Volunteer is on order 🤣...but a few months of waiting 🙄 Meanwhile I shoot with my Marlin 1894 CB 24" octagon barrel and your reload of an old video (Lyman .429/240gr mold and 30gr of Swiss 2 black powder: hole in hole accuracy at 50m ! Hello from Belgium.
You are correct about all the new gizmo's and gadgets too too many I still hunt with my muzzleloaders most of the time. The one thing new I take advantage of is the much better clothing and boot s !!
Nice rifle ,gotta love those beer keg charging handle tabs.Rarer than straight pull is something you see extremely rarely these days -pump action rifles.Remington Model 7600 is most famous one.
What you said in the beginning about a hunt being good even if you don't pull the trigger is what makes an ethical hunter in my eyes . We'll done sir excellent content. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦.
Yes, far too many hunters are focused solely on the kill or the size of the antlers. If they dont kill or only kill a smaller animal, they feel a failure and treat it that way. I believe they are completely missing the point.

@@michaelsewell3706 to be able to sit or walk thru the woods and hear only birds tweeting and wind blowing through the trees and not vehicles or sirens makes it all worthwhile just to escape to solitude.

Take care all!!

When my father was a young man (1938), he was hunting in the North Carolina woods on Christmas Eve. His gun was a single shot shotgun, something like an Iver Johnson Champion, 12 gauge. He spotted a wild turkey and stalked it, but every time he got close the bird took off and flew out of range. Snow began to fall (rare in central North Carolina), and he was able to track the turkey by its tracks as it grazed on wild berries and seeds. It took all day, with the bird flying out of range when it detected his approach. As the light was failing, the snow dampened the sound of his movements and he was able to creep within range and got the bird. He tied the legs together and hung his prize over his shoulder from the shotgun barrel. This was his family's Christmas turkey.

Bought one - as student for 200€, threaded a trigger stop, put it in a boyds stock to be abled to repeat without hitting my face, put a scope mount in the rear sight base and rigged a case deflector. Great rifle, fast straight pull for little money. LOS Hunter bullets worked well for me and did surprisingly low meat damage. Shot a second year female roe dear twice - came there on a driven hunt just looking around standing still 40m away - behind the shoulder blade, baam - nothing happened, ratsch ratsch - oh no no wounded animal - baam, nothing happens. " WTF what did you just do - better put that rifle away, heart sank down in the shoes". A minute of seemingly searching something to eat it just keeled over with two hits a cm apart😂. A BRX has taken its place for the threaded muzzle, shorter, lighter, more accurate but i will never sell it-have to take it out again...
Extremely well made carabine the 31, the 11 was its parent, also a great piece. Your videos are always well made.
Ideally, the grooves on the wood are where the left hand's fingers are supposed to nest, the belt strap is to adjust and brace under the left elbow tightly. Supposedly, since I do also find it a bit of an uncomfortable "intended" position and prefer as you do.
It's the perfect rifle, not too long, nor too short, respectable caliber with a good velocity, a bit violent on the kick, easy reload with the straight pull action, acceptable weight.
Two types of wood were used, a walnut version, uncommon, and a beech one, common, with the first being a bit lighter and, for whom cares about such minimal details, having a tiny bit more of value.
Sadly on training sessions and competitions, official ones, they uses only the full metal jacket military ammunition, which ruins the barrel after a while (1500-2000 shots).
Very Much enjoyed the Duel format video of the Hunting and the Cooking!, Thank you for sharing both!
Oh by the way, greeting from West Virginia, USA.
I remember when you used to see piles of them at the gun shows. I kind of regret not getting one then. And they were usually in really good condition. Now, even something like the crusty Mosins that look like they spent more time as a tanker's bar than as an infantry rifle can draw a not awful price.
This video has inspired me to bring my K31 back out of the safe! Ammo is tough to come by, but i can't lean on that excuse.
Thank you for sharing. I have a K31 and wouldn't feel handicapped hunting anything in the lower 48 states. I would install a Mojo peep sight on it for for more precise aiming, though. In my experience the K31 has the best trigger of any mil-surp rifle.
Very nicely done!
One of the best military weapons ever made!
I always enjoy your style of hunting as that is how my brother and I prefer to hunt, the only real hi tech things we use are binoculars and a cellphone lol. This season I carried my Lee Enfield no4 mk2* full wood as it seemed most fitting for a November hunt.
I love how you detail your equipment for the audience in all your videos.
Thanks again from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
watching from INDIA 🇳🇪🚩🚩
As always great video. Thank you for your time putting it together. Have a Merry Christmas. And blessed New Year.
Love the traditional hunting video and then the cooking part😊
Good job! Searing meat doesn’t actually “seal in juices” , that has been debunked , but it does give it a flavorful brown exterior.
Nice video..🌿 Greetings from Slovenia🙋
As always very well done my friend ! Be well and thank you for your efforts :)
Idilyic, thank you for taking us along, good luck hunting.
Respect for the harvest. Another exhalent video.
Very nice. Greetings from Norway.
Great video Balázs. A little different to your usual especially through the last 10 minutes but I really enjoyed it and hope you do more like it. Merry Christmas.
I am definitely going to try this.
My wife and I make a venison stew with a whitetail neck roast, lots of butter, beef stock, whiskey, garlic, salt and pepper. We leave it slow cooking all say until the bones fall out.
I love these hunting videos so much. Some day I would love to hunt in an ancient European forest like this. For now I will be grateful for whitetails in the Adirondacks of NY, though. Loved the cooking segment as well. I just can't wait to try this recipe myself with some homemade pasta elbows!
Great timing. Gun deer season just ended last Sunday here in Wisconsin (US). I like to hunt with a flintlock of some variety. My taste buds are drooling over the goulash.
I always love to see the old swiss rifles being appreciated :)
By the way, here in the homeland of those guns, it is also quite common to own a G11 and a K31 and loving both rifles for their characteristics.
I like the photography of those little details that you only seem to really pick up on when you're on a hunt.
Also I am half Austrian, so I love goulash :)
I love your videos.
The forest looked so beautiful in the snow.
I’m going to make goulash to your recipe. Unfortunately, here in Scotland, I will not be hunting the deer 🦌 but buying from the store. I’m sure it will be delicious.
Thanks.
It is way more engaging when you have provided the meat by your own efforts, and Scotland is a world-renowned location for deer hunting.....
Fantastic video ❤
Watching your video I can feel the snow falling from a wind blown branch down the back of my neck. Merry Christmas.🙏 I should have bought a K31 when they were cheap,.........Damn.
I paid $79.95 for mine!!! [sorry about that......]

Beautiful video, beautiful K-31.👍
Might have to try this recipe with the Whitetail Deer I just got (with a much less nice surplus Mosin Nagant).
I picked up a Bad Ace scope mount that does not require drilling and tapping. I can use a scope on my k31 now and have not made any permanent damage to the original rifle.
That's a good solution indeed!
I have a Swiss Products clamp-on over-bore mount on mine.
Wonderful film! Köszönöm from Austria.
My grandmother was Austrian/Hungarian and her recipe included corn and green beans. The corn struck me as odd, but apparently it was commonly sent as food aid by the US and became more common that way.
It's always a good time to watch your videos, new or old.
I'm not a hunter but the way you tell your stories I thought it was me.
On the other hand, because of your videos, I started shooting black powder again...my new Pedersoli Volunteer is on order 🤣...but a few months of waiting 🙄
Meanwhile I shoot with my Marlin 1894 CB 24" octagon barrel and your reload of an old video (Lyman .429/240gr mold and 30gr of Swiss 2 black powder: hole in hole accuracy at 50m !
Hello from Belgium.
The Volunteer is an excellent rifle! I used to have one from Parker Hale. I regret selling it.
You are correct about all the new gizmo's and gadgets too too many I still hunt with my muzzleloaders most of the time. The one thing new I take advantage of is the much better clothing and boot s !!
extremly well said
Excellent at every moment!
Waidmannsheil! Thank you for the goulash recipe, I'll be making that at next year's small game season.
We in the czech republic eat guláš a lot but we for some reason call the thick stew guláš.
Nice rifle ,gotta love those beer keg charging handle tabs.Rarer than straight pull is something you see extremely rarely these days -pump action rifles.Remington Model 7600 is most famous one.
Agree with your important observation about the modern technology crutch too many hunters have.
From field to fork best philosophy👍
Enjoyed your hunt .
A life well lived...thank you
