Gator Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Here's what I can pass on. His true name is Rich Dunkirk. He passed away several years ago, from what I can't remeber. Bluelk was a ML GURU, to say the least, and a well respected member/moderator here at RT. I know others had the chance toi meet him and get to know him better, and I am sure they will chime in with some better info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Rich lost his battle to cancer in 2003. Here is an article you might want to check out http://www.realtree.com/community/feature.php?ID=177 and here are the ml chapters written by Rich http://www.realtree.com/bluelk/#top.

Hoosierbuck Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Anyone remember his epic mountain man trek he and his buddy took on mules? They traveled South to North throught the Rockies hunting and living as they went, and the goal I think was to make it to Canada. His daughter or somebody used to post updates. It was awesome. Rich was a sporting goods distributor or something to that effect, so he got to live his passion to some degree. Nice guy, to boot. RIP, bluelk.

Rem308 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 After reading some of the chapters that Bluelk wrote, and hearing several stories of the man, I think we could write and write and never answer the original question. Quite a man, great for the sport, and a true outdoorsman. They just don't make 'em like that anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
