My dad is a disabled Vietnam Vet with a prosthetic leg. He drew rifle tag. I will be busy with my sheep hunt before his hunt and I don’t know situation in either units at this point. Hunted both with bow but it’s been 10 plus years. I know Bumping well, but i know pack in areas, and we won’t be doing any of that.
He won’t be doing many more elk hunts and want him to have some success. So looking at guide. All advice welcome!

Whoever he talked to wanted to do a drop camp and he isn’t interested in drop camp. I’m able to do that. He needs to be put on elk.
Thanks for responding!

There used to be a disabled hunter access road up there. not sure if its still active.
Might work to help get him get back in where others are all on foot or horse back.
We used to camp outside of that gate and hike in every morning. Lots of bulls seen back there.

Incase you were not aware.
If he has a disabled permit for lower body mobility. He can apply and try to draw access.
If he does let me know and I can give you more details on how to apply. However they will not just give access to those areas because of a special permit.

That gate on 1608 has been destroyed. Was a great area as a locked up area, but alas no more
What do you mean destroyed? The gate was there last weekend when I was up there…

The disabled gates/access are awarded access by a draw. Having a special permit in a area does not get you access to those gates.Interesting I had no idea, in all honesty I never once saw a disabled hunter enter or access the area while we hunted it. But then again it was always during archery so possibly less likely.

Many fond memories of hunting in there.
Unless things have changed the gate is open until the day before archery season opens. Then she’s locked until who knows when. Probably after snow access allows?

No its a wdfw deal. The ranger stations etc work with the people after they are drawn for access and etc.
The information and what areas to apply for is in this link and how to submit it.

Hope that helps.
