Blind Hunters

[Chairman]

I had the pleasure of meeting a blind hunter yesterday, at the Missouri Deer Classic.

He had one of those scopes that you can attach a monitor to, so his hunting partner could direct his aiming...and telling him when to squeeze the trigger.

AWESOME set-up!

They had a bunch of video featuring his hunts...this guy has been whacking and stacking deer & turkey, left and right! :cool:

Not to mention...you could tell by his telling his stories, that his passion for hunting is alive and well! :D

Thank you Lord, for the folks that come up with the equipment that allows our less-fortunate brothers (and sisters) to pursue the same dreams we all have.

I forgot to mention...the blind hunter is also a double-amputee : right arm & leg

Talk about an inspiration!

FIJI, my oldest daughter is a teacher for the blind. They just alowed dogs into 2 of her schools. What an interesting animal. Thanks for doing such a thing. They were afraid other students would distract them but suprised how they all follow those rules needed so the dog can work.
