Any disabled hunters want an archery shot at a doe in the islands?
« on: September 06, 2010, 12:11:52 PM »
Not a super challenging hunt but if you want to put a little meat (25-30 pounds I would guess) in the freezer, let me know.  I can transport to the island and possibly provide overnight accomodations.  We would ask that only a doe is shot as we are trying to do a little population control.  This would be a ground blind with shots up to 35 yards.

Throwing this out there to see if there is any interest.

Can you get them to the blind with a wheelchair?

Rory Calhoun works for the state Recreation and Conservation office, is active with the Citizens' Task Force for the Disabled, and is also an avid wheelchair hunter.  I worked with him years ago on a disabled road access entry hunter opportunity.  I suspect he could help you find as many disabled hunters as you'd like for an opportunity like that.  rory.calhoun@rco.wa.gov.

For future years, I am sure WDFW would be very happy to create an antlerless-only archery permit hunting opportunity, outside of the general archery season, so they couldn't legally kill bucks.  Last I knew, Ruth Milner in Mill Creek is your district wildlife bio.

Yes. 

Weathergirl saw 7 deer walking through the neighbor's this evening and passed on a shot at a small forky in deference to my need to work tomorrow.   :'(

Great offer loki! I have a buddy that served in iraq and Afghanistan. He suffered a hand injury and some pretty bad ptsd. I'm sure he would be interested but I'm not sure how "disabled" you are looking for? He has a disabled hunter card. Let me know.
