I just joined your group because one of your members asked me to post a story about my Grandson's first Elk kill last weekend. I'm a Vietnam veteran and served over there in 1969 with the 4th Infantry Division in the Central Highlands.
I love to hunt and fish and I and I taught two of my sons to do the same. I have 3 grandsons but only one of the two that is old enough to hunt does and Jimmy is the one that got the Elk.
I'm not disabled just getting old sort of wore out. I'm sorry that here isn't more opportunities for the disabled to hunt and fish. Every state is different but where I live in Arkansas I've seen quite a few fishing sites for the disabled. When I lived in Colorado until 2002 they spent lots of money on disabled fishing docks that were paid for I think out of funds from the lottery.
Anyway, I have a lot of experience with firearms and I love pistol shooting and reloading. I try to shoot every other week at a range I belong to that's 20 minutes from my home.

Hi fyimo. Welcome. My better half spent a considerable portion of her childhood in southeast Arkansas. Some of us are confined to wheelchairs and some of us can get around fair on our feet, & a few aren't disabled. Some of us too like you say is probably just wearing out early.

Welcome Fyimo, We're glad to have you here and share your grandsons elkhunt. I hope you will consider making us one of your stop-offs when you get a chance, and tell us some of your hunting experiences. I lived in Little Rock Ark, for a couple of years and in southwestern Ark, in a little town called Mineral Springs, and then in Nashville Arkansas, about 45 miles from Texarkana Ark/Texas. Make yourself at home, we have a great new forum here, and glad you have checked us out. Randy
