Here is a rifle deer hunt with my dad in Oct. of 2004...

Be sure to look into your state's disabled hunting opportunities.

OUTSTANDING,
Great HUNT!
Now we need to work on expanding hunting opportunities for disabled folks in other western states such as CA for pigs and turkey.

That's so true. My experience is that youth, seniors and hunters with disabilities, in general, come up pretty short on the options list - for most states.

Still, there are pretty good opportunities out there and with some homework, you can sniff out some good hunts. I'd sure like to see more donated hunts, property access and modified hunt calendars for these groups of hunters, though.

That's where I think parts of the mid-west and eastern US have developed past where we are here in the west. They've had excessive whitetail populations long enough now that they've gotten creative with their excess wild resources. We just don't have the same habitat and wildlife populations I guess.

I'm really proud of the groups and land owners out there providing venison for food banks, special consideration hunting opportunities and just better habitat in general. It takes cooperation and a collective effort to make this stuff happen.
