How many of y'all want to go to Hungary now and go hunting? Darn it my bucket list just got a little longer. I absolutely love the education sir. Thank you.
Have a local wild herd of deer. Driving down the road one day. Looked over and saw the local herd. Suddenly one deer stood out, light in color, antlers at a time of year when the local deer shed theirs. Plus it had a shovel in the center of it's antlers. It turned out someone's fallow deer had escaped it's enclosure! Very surprising to observe! You are very interesting and experienced in your hunting and historical knowledge! Thank you for sharing. However my grandmother was Slovak and grew up within sight of the blood countess's castle ruins. She was beaten in school for not speaking Hungarian but speaking Slovak even though she won a ribbon for her excellent Hungarian!
Greetings from south central BC, thanks for the video. The hunt, the historic background and the firearm information are all great. From an old hunter on the other side of the world it's great to see how others pursue the way of life we love. Good luck on your hunts this fall.
Normally, I enjoy each of your videos. No surprise there. This video was very,very interesting. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into this.
@ I collect Finnish weapons… but have several Swiss rifles and they are amazing. But my heart belongs to black powder rifles. Thank you for all you do.
Thank You Balazs, now i start to understand the hunt tradition, here in Italy the green don't want the hunt, and a lot of people don't know the culture of hunting, mee too. But now with this video i understand better. Grazie, see you in Valeggio sul Mincio shooting range, this summer i miss you for a few hours before.. ciao
Very good video as always. That wheel-lock rifle is absolutely gorgeous, and your K31 is nothing to scoff at. I really like you hunting videos, they have a real "cinematic" feel to them and in this one it is even greater because of the historical hunt linked to it. It was interesting to learn about an important historical figure from your country. Cheers from France! Also there's a term to describe the process of judging things based on present values, it is called "presentism". I certainly do not partake in that, as I understand this gentleman's feelings haha
@@jic1 Partly true. In terms of design definitely, but the wheellock he used is a Polish made reproduction, so newer production wise than the k31. Still your comment made me laugh.
Appreciate the history lesson on the wheel lock! I would like to have one! Excellent shooting! Congratulations on your wild boar! David Back from Menifee co KY USA.
Being someone used to longer smokepoles, I was slightly surprised by the shortness of the ramrod! I do have a muzzleloading carbine in .65 caliber from my grandpa but, I haven't used it in years.
There are many people on the planet who talk about the artists and genius of history who sculpted and painted paintings, but there were probably more artists and genius in the armory manufacturing in the world throughout history, but that part belongs to man's more violent tendencies so one should not write or talk so much about it. Thanks for the history.
Que gran historia y buen relato me encanto el video hace un tiempo descubrí este canal y miro todos los vídeos sin lugar a duda esto evidencia la peligrosidad de los chanchos salvajes. Que buena tradicion y paisajes tienen allá en Hungría saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Very cool video👌🏻 One question. Is it possible to hunt with (for example) a smoothbore Musket and a patched roundball or would that be to inacurate? Greetings from Germany✌🏻
This carbine is smooth bore and puts the bullets into a 5 cm circle at 50 meters. So why not. If you reach 2500 J muzzle energy in Hungary, all big games can be shot with muzzle loaders.
I have a buddy missing 2 fingers from a wild hog. And another one that took 180 stitches he got hit right above his boot and the hog ripped right up his leg.
nice video, however sadly the audio bug (very high pitched noise) is still present :/ it's only on the outdoors footage, not the indoors talking sections. i measured it with my phone at 12000 Hz.
You state the gun has a 40mm bore. That is about 1.6 inches, yet you load a .530 ball. With that ball the bore would be closer to 15mm, about .60 caliber.
It's interesting how the text below the drawing is in German. And to think how our language has changed so much, yet so little that it's still easily understood.
Your Hungarian wild boar are pretty tame compared to those described by Wilfred Thesiger in his book "The Marsh Arabs". Some of the males could stand at waist height at the shoulder and were actively aggressive towards those hunting them.
While I agree that the gun is an eighteenth century fowler. It absolutely could have been restocked. That was common with seventeenth century arms being restocked with a more modern lock and stock design. So the barrel could have done the deed, but there's no way to know. Love the video
A great history lesson of a time almost unknown in far-Western Europe. So much happened to prevent islam from getting any nearer than Vienna - much of it down to the sacrifices made by Hungarians. Question - have you made a programme about the battle of Mohács?
Not yet. When we reach a certain point in the research I will. Our researh group is excavating the mass graves and the battlefield, so I have many to tell here.
The older Zrinyi was right. At that point in time there was no place for a fully independent Hungary between the HRE/Habsburgs and the Ottoman Empire. All they could hope for was beeing a vassal like Transylvania, but even that was not too realistic. Transylvania is out of the way, but Hungary is on the main route into the HRE.
Your video came on suggestions. Just by reading the headline and knowing you as Hungarian was enough for me as Croatian to know what you are going to talk about before clicking on the video. Zrinski / Zrinyi and Frankopan / Frangepan were at the same time stalwarts of both Hungarian and Croatian national indentity. As so many Hungarians mentions, you Croatians used to run your own business down there under your own rules.
Can you explain to us who was the Hungarian politician who an assassin pointed the gun at but her grappled the gun out of his hand? Please give us a back ground ty.
Danke!
Thank you very much for your support. I really appreciate it. ❤
Greetings from Croatia, many thanks for educating the foreign folk about the shared history of our great nations. 😁
I really enjoy the detail of this historical narrative in this story - thank you for your work and effort telling this story!
This Sir was once of your best videos to date! Excellent work!
How many of y'all want to go to Hungary now and go hunting?
Darn it my bucket list just got a little longer.
I absolutely love the education sir. Thank you.
Another magnificent video: education combined with adventure and hunting lore. I love these.
Love how high quality all your videos are. Thank you 👍
Thanks for the upload, eloquent, knowledgeable, just loved it!!!
Wonderful. I was totally enthralled by this video from start to finish.
I have had feral hogs run more than 70 yards with both a front and back leg shattered and their heart and lungs shredded. They can be amazingly tough.
Fantastic video with great historical content,sublime poetry and a beautiful dog,thank you!
This is one of the best videos you've ever done.
I love the work you put in to your UA-cam films, and de historical background! ❤
Nikola Šubić Zrinski...greetings from Croatia...thank You...Dobra kob!
Such a beautiful hunt, I can't thank you enough for sharing it with us.
I'm really glad i found this channel. These are really unique videos, great entertainment.
A superb analysis of the known facts and a very interesting story, thank you!
An excellent documentary as told by a hunter. Beautiful work!

You are the best, Balasz! Greetings from Prague. Jan
Excellent content once again! Thanks for this.
Absolutely seamless combination of your national history, traditional hunting methods and equipment, and a present-day hunt.
Чудове поданная історичних подій! Щиро дякую за ролик!
Отримав естетичну насолоду.
Thank you for the history lesson and including us in a wonderful hunt. Hungary is a very beautiful country.
I always enjoy european hunting videos. Wonderful!
I know nothing of guns but I enjoy your content. This video in particular was really unique and entertaining, thank you
Nice picture of a Datura Stramonium fit in there!

Great history lesson. Good hunting story. Thank you.
Sometime you aet the baar, sometime the baar aet you. Another interesting video 👍🏼

By his standards, a K31 is a brand new rifle.
@@jic1 Partly true. In terms of design definitely, but the wheellock he used is a Polish made reproduction, so newer production wise than the k31.
Still your comment made me laugh.
Great video, thank you.
Very nice film. Thank you.

I do wounder why wheellocks are not more common amongst modern reproductions as it is more advanced than the matchlocks
And more weatherproof!
More expensive also
Harder to make
Because they are really expensive, Simply. And way harder to produce.
They are quite complex. But I'd love to see them produced on larger scales as well.
Very enjoyable as usual, I realy like your wheel lock.
How a magnificent landscape !! I love it. I really hope visit your country. It’s in my bucket list 👍🏻 for sure
Being someone used to longer smokepoles, I was slightly surprised by the shortness of the ramrod!
I do have a muzzleloading carbine in .65 caliber from my grandpa but, I haven't used it in years.
I wonder what granulation of powder he's using in that short barrel.
I use 2fg Swiss

This a beautiful History lesson and hunting video.....Thank you....
Old F-4 pilot Shoe🇺🇸
It makes me proud that you are using the "weapon of my grand father" K31. What ammo are you using?
Curerntly GP11 with tip filed for hunting, but I am just developing a charge for that for hunting.
I have a buddy missing 2 fingers from a wild hog.
And another one that took 180 stitches he got hit right above his boot and the hog ripped right up his leg.
I collected also quite a few accounts when wild boar attack could esaily cost the life of the hunter.
@capandball yes those were about the 2 worst.
But there been a lot of small things
And 2 cases of brucellosis and 1 case of trichinellosis
nice video, however sadly the audio bug (very high pitched noise) is still present :/ it's only on the outdoors footage, not the indoors talking sections. i measured it with my phone at 12000 Hz.
I know... it only at the slow mo scene where I shoot?
@@capandball at 2:20 - 4:00 and 22:31 onwards... only in the outdoor scenes and especially when zoomed in i guess.. not only the slow mo
What an incredibly well done video, bread job man and I hope that pig provided you with some excellent provisions
Brilliant, thank you.

14mm. Don't forget your watching a channel in Hunglish.
@@Kapszli-Capandball Beautiful Hunglish
I think he said 14mm, which would make sense with a patched .530 ball. It's just the accent.
That was very touching.

...so far...your very best video!!!...imho...😀
Loved the story telling about Miklós Zrínyi. As is today sometimes freak accidents happen
Hungary?? Am I mistaken, or do you have a French accent? I could be mistaken...
He sure sounds Hunglish :p our accent is rather unique haha.
I understand that for many people Hungarian is a difficult accent to ID, but that's definitely not French.
I can also do French and Italian accent if you wish. But no, I am from Hungary. :)
@@capandball Keep speaking your beautiful Hunglish :)
I haven't gotten a wheel lock yet, someday, but then would definitely hunt with it.

Wow is this Wheellock original? 🙌
It is a repro.
Liking now to make sure I can find it later!
Stunning land scape !

3:51 Jimson weed, if I'm not mistaken.
It is! :)
anyone else hears that very high pitched annoying background sound in the outdoor scenes?
I think we have that only at the slow motion part only.
I hear a high-pitched annoying sound all the time now, but that has nothing to do with the video.

I need more info. What age?
that was great, did you ever think of making mint flavored patches 'lol'
:)
The death of Nicolaus Zrínyi was the greatest tragedy. What a loss for the country in that time :/
Super!!!!!!
Nice
Great video and it is absolutely amazing with which kind of "rifle" you killed the boar.
That Swiss rifle tho...
Doesn't boar meat smell and taste awful?
Waidmannsheil!
Peter has the best job in the world.
Leaving your post on a driven hunt sounds like a recipe for an accident!
Yes, with today'a thinking.
That hog in the thumbnail is piebald
That's a mix of domestic and wild pig.
@@capandball Do you see a lot of feral pigs while hunting, or are they mainly 'pure' wild boar?
@@jic1 Feral pigs are seldom found here. We have pure wild boar first case and very rarely we encounter such mix as the one in the video.
