What does the companion card do for the handy cap hunter? Do they just retrieve the animal? If so, why do they need a companion card as you would just ride along with him/her.

"The hunter who qualifies for a Disabled Hunter
Permit will receive the permit, an orange vehicle
placard, and a designated hunter companion card.
The hunter companion card allows for a person to
assist or act on behalf of the disabled hunter. The
hunter companion must be in the physical presence
of the disabled hunter, not to exceed a ¼ mile
separation. While stalking or shooting an animal,
the hunter and companion must have a form of
reliable and direct communication."

I go elk hunting with Blazinfish. He hands me his companion card. He is 300 yards from me and we have radios so we are in direct communication.
Bull/cow comes in and I arrow it for him. That is completely legal, correct?

I have a friend who is a handicapped hunter. For some reason I haven't got a companion card. But he is kind of a dick! :chuckle:
Don't you hate when York hunting buddies are dicks. Well i just hope he doesn't see this before you need help packing an elk out next week. He might think you are the dick

my downed animals. I must say my companion hunter is almost as bad off as me.
Those deer get heavier every year. Good luck pal. Chuck (Muskrat)
