It only (and I say 'only' because many veterans go years before getting the appropriate compensation) took me three years to get to where I am receiving 70% disability. They initially only granted 10%[:'(] I just about crapped when I received my comp. letter stating that. So I went through the VFW who pointed me to a local government funded agency(Georgia Department of Veterans Service), that represented me through many letters, medical documents (from my military records and civilian doctors) and phone calls, finally got me to where I am.

There are hunting groups that provide a way for disabled veterans to hunt. You just have to do what you're doing and search the internat, ask other hunters and rely on local resources to find out. Folks like Gundeck, are perfect people to network with in order to find information

By the way Gundeck, what part of the Finger Lakes are you from? I'm originally from Ithaca (bottom of Cayuga lake).
