While this is Al Raychard's first book on blackpowder hunting, it is not the first time he has written about the sport -- not by a long shot. Raychard, in fact, has been writing about hunting with the muzzleloader for decades. It's an intriguing sport, with many intricacies, and so much information and lore associated with it that it would be no surprise at all if Raychard ended up writing more books on the topic. Long associated with old-time hunting techniques and tactics, blackpowder hunting today has become modern, with in-line muzzleloaders, variable scopes, and propellants with more power than old-timers may have believed possible. Some hunters choose modern weapons, others prefer using classic versions -- both originals and replicas. Regardless, the fact is that hunting with primitive firearms is a special kind of challenge, one that requires skill, patience, and yes, a bit of luck. As you read through this totally new book on the subject, you'll be struck by how thoroughly the author knows the subject. You'll also be amazed at how large this sport has become. Today, blackpowder hunters pursue -- in greater and greater numbers -- every type of big-game animal not only on the continent, but in the world. Once you get hooked on this type of hunting, there will be no turning back. You, too, will become a convert. So sit back and plan on some solid reading. Then start planning your next hunting trip -- with a muzzleloader.
