hangunnr Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Re: ive always wondered Rich Dunkirk.....aka Bluelk was the ML moderator here for several years until his untimely passing. He was an industry insider who was willing to share his lifetime of knowledge with any that would listen. Here is Rich with one of the last trophies he harvested. Thanks to Snapper for the pic..... hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Re: ive always wondered I have wondered a couple times myself. Unfortunately I didn't know the gentleman, but he was obviously highly respected. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WABS Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Re: ive always wondered The legacy of his "Chapters" and the knowledge he passed on to us lives on. Does anyone know whatever happened to his book effort of his trip into Canada? I'm so happy that he was able to complete that trip before he died. It would have been great to read about it!!

wtnhunt Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Re: ive always wondered Yes, Rich always offered great advice. I would suggest reading his chapters in the link in here to anyone getting started into muzzleloading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WABS Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Re: ive always wondered I've been muzzle loading for over 20 years now and I still like going back through the chapters every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Re: ive always wondered I was fortunate to be with him on maybe his last hunt. He told you up front his opinion. He had told me early about his illness, and I felt proud of his trust. I miss my bud dearly. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Re: ive always wondered As others have mentioned, I found his chapters extremely helpful when I began muzzleloading a few years back and I continue to go back to them often. Unfortunately, I never had the honor of meeting or talking with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Re: ive always wondered When I bough my first ml'er, I had all kinds of idiotic Questions. I was totally clueless. Rich(Bluelk) never put me down, and always took the time to answer any question I had, no matter how silly, thoroughly. This forum misses him greatly! When I heard he passed on, I shed tears for a man I never met. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WABS Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Re: ive always wondered Nothing against the rest of the Moderators who've stepped in admirably -- but I think they'd even agree that Rich was a "One of a Kind". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Re: ive always wondered WABS you got that right, no replacing Rich He forgot more than I'll ever know. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
