Trophy deer hunting for the physically challenged, disabled or handicapped

You don't have to hike for long distances over tough terrain to bag a trophy buck. Hunters with limited mobility can have good success by sitting on agricultural fields for the afternoon hunt, and glassing and moving into position to intercept bucks in the morning. The guides of Deer Meadows Outfitters know the tendencies of the deer herd and can accommodate most physical challenges. I know this from personal experience, as I am the guy in the picture to the right (click on it for a larger view), and this was the buck that I took in November 2005.

With the help of a spotting scope, Jim Kuhn verified that the buck I spotted through my binoculars was a trophy. We had driven into one of the many areas leased by Deer Meadows Outfitters, and were glassing from a hilltop when we spotted the buck chasing two does. Jim drove me around the other side of hills where he guessed the does were heading, and when the buck followed them there, I was able to take the trophy of a lifetime. Without Jim's knowledge of the area and the tendencies of the deer, this trophy would have escaped.

Although I can walk on steady surfaces, an encounter with polio as a child has made my right leg extremely weak and unstable, and thus, I am unable to enjoy the spot-and-stalk experience that Deer Meadows Outfittters is famous for. I am unable to walk more than a few steps on the sandy terrain out there, but that was never a problem, and Jim and the other guides put me where I needed to be.

If you have limited mobility, don't think that Deer Meadows Outfitters can't help you. If you can shoot, you too can have the opportunity for a trophy deer.
