One of the many benefits of belonging to the National Muzzle Loader Rifle Association is the opportunity to join the Longhunter Society. This is an elite group of NMLRA members who have taken record-size North American big-game animals with a muzzleloader, such as John Russell with his 172 4/8 whitetail and Jamie Smith with her 177 6/8 mule deer.
