Default RE: Questions for other disabled Hunters

My memory is not as good as it once was but I think I heard somewhere that we are our brothers keeper. I did a lot of guiding some years back for both hunting and fishing. I enjoyed helping disabled and or disadvantaged people enjoy the things that I took as a given. I don't know if you can set a set of standards to go by. The most important thing is communication between the guide and the disabled hunter. There are limits and as long as the hunter and guide know well ahead of time what is expected of each other, it is a rewarding experience for both. As the quide I wanted to know, can he walk? how far can he walk? Does he need a place to stay that is set up for handi-capped people? Can they drive to your location? That kind of thing. I am willing to ask for help simply because I have always been more than willing to offer it to others. I would make no demands but would love to continue to hunt and fish as long as I can.
