Hey everyone,
I just wanted to stop by and say Hi. I am 39 years old and have been physically disabled since a year after highshool. I have similar effects of that of a stroke due to radiation treatment for a benine (sp) brain tumor. I was very active in highschool sports then bam, I couldn't get ot of a chair without help.
I am blessed that this hit me at a very early age and that my personality is one of "Iam going to kick it's A**" I have functional use of my right arm only and walk with a severe drop foot on my left side. Although I make a lot of noise in the woods, I enjoy deer and turkey hunting. I use a Barnett crossbow, a remington 30-06and a baikal MP153 for turkey.
I read a post earlier with regards to a gun rest for a wheelchair, Try PVC pipe, you can make a lot of stuff out of that and it is cheap, just be creative. I am encouraged by all of your stories, so many people take so much for granted, they have no idea just how blessed they are. I am looking forward to visiting here often and sharing with you all.
God Bless and have a Merry Christmas.

Welcome to the site. We will look forward to your input. I am getting ready for the last hunt of the year in SD. Its a muzzle loader and late rifle season. All antlerless deer. But they taste better anyway.

Mite, In my case, it wasn't the tumor that caused all the problems; It was the blasted radiation they gave me. They either gave me too much or hit some good tissue. Jimmy, Rhinelander is North of Wausau by about 60 miles.

Spatrat, do you deer hunt in the Rhinelander area? I hunt in Forest co. north of Crandon. Did not see a deer up there this year during the regular gun season. Last few years it has been very spotty. There is not much for the deer to eat. Winters have not been to bad so can't say it is from winterkill. Charlie
