About mlhunter.com - the early days

Beginning in 1998 an continuing for the following four years, mlhunter.com was operated as a successful internet inline muzzleloading store. Those were the early days of state's initiating and expanding muzzleloading seasons for deer hunting. Everyone was thirsting for knowledge on how to get started with muzzleloading for deer. I was on that trend early and tried a lot of muzzleloading rifles and accessories stuff. If it was good stuff I sold it on my web site. I offered a lot of help, good after sale support, and the business was successful. After five years, the muzzleloading business became mainstream, there was plenty of information available, and the mega stores had caught on the trend. With the mega store's massive bargaining powers, reasonable profits were no longer there for a small operation.

About mlhunter.com - our Austin and Halleck relationship

Early on I tried and was impressed with Austin and Halleck rifles. They did not have an operating web site then and I offered to become their internet presence in exchange for a dealership. Thus, mlhunter.com became their internet presence. During that time I was told that we were the largest internet retailer of Austin & Halleck inline rifles. However, once their operation moved from Weston, MO to Provo, Utah we were abruptly abandoned. In spite of that and best we could, we supported the many customers we had sold these rifles to.

About mlhunter.com - the intervening years

I've continued to maintain the web site the last few years but other interests have taken precedence. From a hunting perspective, the most notable thing I've done is to operate the 200 acre family farm in central Missouri with the help of my brother and sons and get the entire farm into quail management practices with the help of the Missouri Department of Conservation.

About mlhunter.com - now

After several more years muzzleloading experience with hunting deer we are once again expanding the muzzleloading experience. We continue to read every article available on muzzleloading and do as much experimenting, testing and shooting as possible ourselves. Then we condense the information to provide the bottom line on inline muzzleloading.

About mlhunter.com - disclosure

As part of that our process, we will direct readers to online stores where they may purchase the items we write about. We make a very small gross profit by doing this. That offsets the expense of maintaining this web site. We may also sell some muzzleloading items not readily available at mainstream sources on online auction sites from time to time.

So you might say, we're back to our roots ! ! !.
