Temporary Disability?
« on: July 24, 2018, 08:24:37 AM »
I have a buddy who just got into hunting late last year and recently tore just about everything you can in your knee. Is there a process to become a temporary disabled hunter? Be great to get him on some animals if possible, even if it is in a very reduced capacity.

Thanks.

No, there's no temporary disabled hunter status. If he gets his knee replaced he can get permanent disabled hunter status.

Would that only be if, after the replacement, there was still a significant disability?

No. Any artificial limbs or joints qualify for permanent hunter disability.

Interesting.  What qualifies as an artificial joint?  Total replacement?  Ligaments removed and replaced?

I believe it needs to be a total replacement. But you could check with the department. I'm sure they'd be very forthcoming with info. They were very helpful to me.

Hmmmmm. I got 100% total disability because of my knee, not replaced, and 25% whole body to go along with that.


The doctor has to fill out a form from the WDFW and send it in stating your disability. That's what mine did.. :dunno:
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

Mine too. I didn't get a degree of disability though. I don't think they do it that way anymore. You either are or are not.

Got me, it's worth a try until you've gone through rehab to get the disability fixed. ;)

Hmmm. I have to check into this more. I have both artificial hip and right elbow and I was told by a game warden that it required a significant degree of decrease in mobility.

The warden got it wrong.  An artificial joint is a prosthesis. 
Hunt hard and shoot straight!
