I am only hearing impaired...nearly deaf.....I have a VERY few friends thatI hunt with. They understand I cann't hear the B.S. that is talked at the camp fire.....but they still make sure I feel welcome! Aint that the best part of the hunt!
A lot of folks will avoid you, me and others, not because they don't know how to handle things...or are scared....it's mostly LAZY!!!!!!! We have to bust our rears to do what we want to, and will probly give them any and all the help we can when they need it.
Some one will walk into our life that will push your hunting and fishing to a level you never imagined!
Good luck to ya, now go out and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
