Folks,
I would like to put a hunt together if possible for caribou for my guys in wheelchairs. I need some local advice on accessibility etc as sometimes even deer hunts can be difficult.
I do realize that this will be a very challenging endeavor but most of these guys are up to it
.
Can any of you think of any potential options, some of them could manage a fly-in camp (would take 1 volunteer/hunter per wheelchair hunter) but as you might imagine unless the bou were close to camp this would be tough on all parties.
Over the years my first thoughts have been the haul road mainly because of accessibility and the ability to make it a VERY LONG day trip so these guys could possibly stay in a hotel.
Please remember that a downed animal does not in itself make a hunt successful, this past season was the first year one of the guys shot a moose after 4 years of trying. These hunts are most likely the only time any of these folks will ever see Alaska, so again success is measured accordingly.
Thanks,
Doug
