ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I would like to thank the following people:
Dr. Samuel Gladding, whose guidance and patience helped fan the flames of a passion for hunting with muzzleloaders.
George Dech, who taught me to carve away anything on a piece of wood that didnt look like a longrifle. He was the first to teach me that a Henry gun was not a lever-action repeating rifle.
Chuck Dixon, whose enthusiasm for building Pennsylvania longrifles still inspires many to pursue this noble art.
Rich Hujsa, whose keen marksmans eye and love of the hunt translate into a passion for deer and turkey muzzleloader hunting.
Skip Hamaker and Dave Motto, who selflessly gave of their time and talents in Harrisburg so that the three of us, along with Pete Duncan, could define the regulations and spirit of the flintlock hunt in Pennsylvania.
The old muzzleloading gang at the Whitetail Camp: Bill Nester, Bob Rothenberger, Mark Flisak, Mike Watson, Matt Ehrig, Joe Tognoli, and Gary Younger. More than 30 years of hunting whitetails with flintlocks has been the fodder for many a good story, some of which ended up in print.
Kermit Henning and Dennis Scharadin, my outdoor writer hunting buddies. The quest for outdoor adventure beyond our borders began with you, and the memories we made throughout North America gave this longhunter stories to share.
All the Pennsylvania outdoor writers who have shared their time and talents with me. Tom and Betty Lou Fegely, Jim Fitser, Doyle Dietz, Bob Mitchell, and Christian Berg, to name just a few, were instrumental, providing help and encouragement.
All those who have worked endless hours for the Pennsylvania Game Commission. They brought back the deer and turkey populations from the brink of extinction at the beginning of the twentieth century, ensured the continued abundance of wild game and places to hunt well into the twenty-first, and helped establish two special muzzleloading seasons, including the unique Pennsylvania flintlock-only deer season.
The Pennsylvania Federation of Muzzleloaders, Inc., and the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association and its president, Jim Fulmer. Without their educational programs, safety standards, promotion, and black powder competitions at local, state, and national championships, the noble sport of muzzleloading would fade into history.
The National Rifle Association and all its members for their unending efforts to support the Second Amendment.
Finally, my wife, Bettina Fox Ehrig. For 36 years, this muzzle-loading longhunter has wandered the north woods, the open prairie, the snow-laden spruce forests, and the mysterious southern swamps looking for adventure. And in all of my meanderings, she has been there to inspire me, edit my work, take care of the horse farm, raise Matthew and Elizabeth, and teach other young minds how to read, write, and utilize math. No man reaches his full potential without the unending support of the one he married.
Thank you, Tina.
