Disabled hunting. Curious about the logistics and NO offense intended whatsoever. Obviously no wheelchair access. Carry them? Or just transport via ATV, set up a stand and let them come to you? Obviously using a ladder to get high up is out of the question also. This just sounds to me like an exceedingly difficult task and just curious how it's accomplished.

Great service though, I'm all for getting people outdoors and doing stuff.

Thank you for your interest. Yes everyone's abilities are different. Chris Scott our founder is disabled and has been hunting and fishing for many years. He is also a licensed recreational therapist and facilitates a rope coarse for a therapeutic boarding school. Most individuals can gain access with a 4 wheel drive vehicle or ATV. However we do have horses and other means of transportation. It all depends. I think you would be surprised and taken back at the power of their abilities and their means of adapting. I know that each day I have the privileged of working around such marvelously people that I have to be thankful for just being in their presence. On another note, Chris will be having an articles published in HuntingNet.com soon. He will be explaining one of his hunts and the difficulties that he faced as a disabled hunter. You can look for this on our web site soon. Thank you again.
