got a call from fish and game about a disabled hunter in a wheel chair who wants to go muzzy deer hunting this week. I was hoping I could get some intel or permission on some property that holds deer in the ellensburg general vicinity. PM ME if you can help me out with some info or numbers to call thanks.
I would really like to the this guy a deer. He's a neat old man w/ serebralpalsy

I hunt just north of ellensburg, tabletop mt. There are really good fs roads that head up there. However, deer densities are really low there. Too bad you aren't taking the guy for elk. That mountain is crawling with elk. There are many more deer down in the flatlands, outside eburg, than up in the mountain. That is all private, I hope someone can hook you up with a landowner.
My brother is in a wheelchair. I really appreciate what you are doing for a disabled hunter that you don't even know. Good luck to you guys.
If nobody can hook you up with a hunting spot down low, let me know. I'll pm you directions for getting up the mountain.

I can't help you out, but I would encourage you to check out http://www.ballsandchain.org/ (http://www.ballsandchain.org/) it is a group that has been helping handicapped kids and adults hunt. I was introduced to this last year from a friend of mine who has built two wheelchairs that hold rifles and allow a quad to shoot from the chair. The next project is a chair for a young man who was ran over on his bike and the driver never stopped. I have offered to build the next rifle, and am anxious to help. I know this does not get you the answer to your question, but do check it out and be inspired.

Sounds like you guys are going to get into them. We'll be looking forward to the whole story and pics.

Good luck , You might try to call mike sprectner , he is the game warden in that area and can be helpfull pm me if you want his number.
-
Thanks for the update.
Good luck tomorrow :tup:

If possible maybe you can get and post some pics from in the field?

We plan on taking alot of pictures today, hopefully with a buck down! Everyone wish us luck, as it takes a lot of work to pack in with all the gear and a wheelchair. But it is very rewarding and sundance will agree with me, when I say it just feels right. It's priceless to see Pat, the disabled man's excitement and smiling face. If we could get a deer down for him, it would be even more of an unforgettable experience than it already has been. Pictures to come by saturday. STAY POSTED

Dead bambi or not, simply providing the experience will create lasting memories for all of you, not just the hunter. So, good luck, take lots of pics along they way, whack a good one, and let us know.

Sundance and krapmit,You men are amazing.What your doing for this hunter cannot be measured.I have been in a chair for 37yrs.and have a wonderful wife and son,two brothers,a sister,and numerous friends who have contributed 1000's of hours to help me hunt and fish.The light you guy's are turning on in this man's eye's is not only illuminating his spirit,but shining bright on you both.Thanks guy's
-
amazing i hope he gets a buck and i give props to both of you guys your very good men.
-
This is a good thread... hope you guys got some good action this evening :tup:
-
Exceptional story! Thanks for taking some of your least available asset, time, and giving it so freely! You added hope to a life of struggle, and that's much more than most of us can say.
-
One of the best threads of the year.

Animal or no animal, you showed him a time he will never forget :tup:

It was a great hunt! Sundance and I worked the area we were in very hard, and thought we were going to seal the seal until a buck slipped while on our sneak. Pat had an amazing time, and you could tell that he loved every minute being in the woods. He was an avid hunter before his accident, and even thoug he wasnt able to communicate all of his thoughts clearly, we understood that hunting was his passion and that he was very grateful to get out in some nice country and see alot of animals. Sundance did a great job taking care of him in the mornings and evenings after the hunt! We cant wait to get out sometime next year or maybe in a late hunt this year and try and tag Pat a deer. Again, if anyone has some property or a great are or any ideas to get Pat on a nice deer, we would be happy to take any advice we can get.

I don't normally say this to fellas but Krapmit and Sundance, you are beautiful human beings. The world needs more of what you guys are doing for Pat. Thanks. :tup:

Krampit and Sundance..
Are you looking for something in the ellensburg area only since Pat is from the westside?
