Well hopefully I’ll be back in business posting soon.  Just got a new computer, and as soon as I figure out how to work this new windows system, I’ll be  getting back at it.  later

well I must first off say Im sorry for being gone from the blog for so long.  So Im sorry for not keeping up.   Many things have been going on in our lives and finding time to sit infront of the computer is getting harder and harder.  But….oh yes I very much look foreward to getting back to work on spreading the word and keeping people up to date on the hunting industry and all of the folks making things happen.   So I’ll see you soon and keep in  touch.  

PS, if yall are out turkey hunting be safe.  I’ll be headed out this weekend for some long beard action I hope…..

WV Hunt
I am a forestry faculty member at  a small college in West Virginia.  Our

college operates two farms, and we would like to have a small (6-10 hunters)

challenged hunt on one of our farms.  The hunt is tentatively planned for Oct

31.  If there is any information or assistance you could provide I would greatly

appreciate it.
 
Thanks,

I started Handicapable Hunters in Iowa over 10 years ago. I have moved to Battle

Creek, Iowa and am now the pastor of St. John’s Lutheran Church. If you know of

anyone with a disability in Iowa who wants to go deer hunting feel free to give

them my contact info. I can be reached at pastorpotluck@yahoo.com. There is no

cost for the use of our adaptive equipment. The rules are simple. The hunter is

responsible for transportation, all licenses and tags, lodging, food, firearm (

we only have equipment for shotguns and muzzleloaders for quads), bow if they

have upper body capabilities, and whatever medical care they might need. We

provide a place to hunt on public land and supply a blind, the equipment for

shooting if needed, help to drag out the deer, butcher it (boned out steaks,

roast, and deer burger) and fellowship. Oh yeah they’ll need an ice chest to

take the meat home. If you know of anyone have them give me an email and we’ll

get them hunting.

Streamlight Challenged Hunter of the Year Award

If you would like to nominate a disabled or ill hunter for the Streamlight Challenged Hunter of the Year Award please get your application at http://www.badf.org/Resources/PDFs/tabid/163/Default.aspx

The winner participated in the 2010 Buckmasters Life Hunt Classic in January.

Ducks Unlimited honored U.S. Army Soldier Adam Herold and the killed and wounded veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan from Nebraska at a dedication ceremony for the Fallen Heroes Marsh. The memorial is located on Ducks Unlimited’s Verona Complex, a key wetland area in the Rainwater Basin. The marsh is a place where friends and families can come to hunt, watch, photograph or simply listen to ducks and remember the sacrifices made by U.S. military veterans from Nebraska.

Jacob Ray and his family in McCalla, Alabama are offering to allow our disabled
hunters to attend his dove hunt again on opening day September 5th.
We can start shooting after noon.  Lunch will be served and Jacob says
there are a lot of doves there right now.  If you want to attend
please email all of your info to dsullivan@buckmasters.com.  Please

attendant with you.  Your attendant can hunt with you from your
location.  Please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to
attend, the number is limited.

An email from David Sullivan at BADF

There have been a lot of requests for info on vision impaired hunting
devices and techniques lately.  I want to include an article in the
magazine about it.  Please send me some quality digital photos of your
set-ups and text with your technique and contact info so we can help
others.  I’ll put this on the website (www.badf.org) too.  Send to
dsullivan@buckmasters.com
