He was a Mod and a long time contributor to the forums. He knew LOTS about ml'ers.

When he died of cancer, they changed the name as a tribute to the man.

Rich Dunkirk was a good dude. I knew of him on another board. He worked as a sporting goods distributor and knew muzzleloaders very well. Does anybody remember his epic mule trip after he reitred? He and a buddy traveled for weeks and weeks, old-school mule style from somewhere out west-maybe Colorado?- all the way up the Rockies to Canada or something crazy like that. Does anybody remember the specifics??

His chapters on muzzleloading grace several boards and have given a leg up to lots of aspiring front-stuffers.

Rich was not only a great asset to this forum, from the beginning, but he was also a real rugged, tough rancher/mountainman sort of character. I only wish I'd gotten to know him better.

Here are a couple of feature articals on Rich (buelk), so you can get to know him better.

It was a pleasure to meet him in Tennessee, before he passed away.

I hear that! He was a great guy and really knew his stuff. For what its worth is was to ml'ers what AJ is to modern weapons.

I wish so bad I could have made that hunt to meet everyone including Rich.
