I'm sitting here, looking at the screen, asking myself - how do I answer this question.

The answer is simple and is staring you in the face.

I am disabled, and the truth of the matter is - if you can't do it, you don't do it.

When you are disabled, you are beholding to other people to help you to get around and you only do what you can do.

A guide or guide service - doesn't owe you anything.

They are in business - to service a special group of people that can get around and will practically kill themselves toyou in a position for you to be able to harvest a trophy animal.

Before my automobile accident 10 years ago, I practically shot a buck every year. Since my automobile accident - I could count how many bucks I have shot on one hand.

Before my automobile accident, I could wake up at 3 AM if I wanted to and be on my stand at 5 Am.. I didn't have to ask anybody for anything and I didn't have to wait for other members of my hunting party to eat, get dressed, put ontheir boots, pack their lunch, find their ammo and all the other stupid excuses that I hear - from my family members every dayof rifle season.

On the worst day - my brother decided not to wake up until 6 AM - because it was raining outside and he didn't want to get wet. NowI wasin the truck at 5:45 AM, with my stuff packed and ready to go.

I left his ass standing on the porch - at 6:30 Am, and I was driving his truck.

Nobody owe's you anything.

You can't go around demanding preferential treatment - just because you are disabled.

A man has got to know his limitations and be able to realize what he can do and what he cannot do and live within his limitations.

If that means staying home - while all his buddies goes out Elk hunting or pheasant hunting - then so be it. There are still other things like sitting in a duck blind or on a whitetail hunt in a stand that he can do with a limited amount of assistance.

But when you start asking for showers and latrines and other things that aren't normally associated with a guide or a drop camp. Then you have to realize that these people works hard and that they only have a couple of weeks a year to make their living and they can't be out spending extra time and money- trying to accommodate you. If it is not good enough - stay home!
