Each ground blind is designed to be accessible
for use by hunters with physical disabilities. The hunting
blinds are 10 feet by 10 feet with one side opening up to
provide access to a wheelchair, golf cart or ATV. Each blind
has a card inside that will tell the hunter what the best
wind would be to hunt that blind and what the distance is to
the deer trails that are located within archery range. The
blinds are made in such a way that a hunter seated in a
wheelchair will have clear shooting lanes in multiple
directions.
The eight food plots are made up of both annual
and perennial plants. In this way the food plot will always
have plants that are desired by the deer no matter the time
of year. Some of these plants are three different kinds of
clover, forage milo, Lab Lab, and cow peas.
Access to the food plots and ground blinds is by
ATV, golf cart and truck. Each hunter may bring another
person in to assist them in getting to and from the hunting
area and recovery of harvested game.
For more information on the Deer Hunters with
Disabilities please contact the Macomb Park District office,
1406 N. Randolph, Macomb Ill. 61455, phone 309/833-4562

minimized. The refuge has all terrain vehicles

chooses they can be driven out to their stands.
The refuge also has some accessible hunting
platforms available.
Hunters are responsible for travel to and from
the refuge, their sleeping accommodations while
at the hunt, purchasing their license, and
providing for their personal needs such as warm

hunting site, providing volunteers to assist
with the handling of the animal after it is shot
(if requested), and meals. Meals will consist
of a noon meal prior to hunting and an evening
meal once the hunter has come back from

New
Brunswick and Quebec moose or bears Hunts for Physically
Challenged
Living on the Border of New-Brunswick and Quebec gives me
the opportunity to guide at both places. I try to customize
my hunts to every hunter’s needs, desire and capacity. For
this reason instead of owning a lodge, I rent out cabins,
campers, hotel rooms and even pitch tents to satisfy my
customers. I also do deals for group hunts. My business have
been operating this way for 5 years now and I have
established relations with the local businesses that
offers lodging. I have two single rooms available at the
hotel that are equipped for the physically challenged. Those
rooms have a bit more floor room along with lower beds and
washrooms specially equipped for the physically challenged.
I get these rooms at a discount. I can use these rooms for
the Quebec and New-Brunswick hunts. For transportation, I am
equipped with a regular truck and jeep. The regions I hunt
are also accessible by van if a hunter has a van that has a
wheelchair ramp. We always hunt moose from the ground in old
clear-cuts and we do not need to leave the logging road
except to retrieve our expired animals. We also hunt bears
from the ground in wheelchair accessible blinds and we can
even do spot and stalk because the bear feed on the grass
that grows along the logging roads in the spring season.

Bullet
Bobber Enterprises
I
invented a fishing bobber that can make it easier for the
physically challenged to fish by reducing the need to cast
and to possibly eliminate it completely. I will provide a
combo pack with 1 each of 3 sizes to handicapped fishermen
anywhere in the US at cost. The $3.50 includes postage and
each package will also come with full instructions.
The
main reason I’m offering this is so the physically
challenged can have more fun fishing. My father had Polio
as a young man and wanted to fish but never had much
opportunity, being very dependent on two crutches and later
a wheelchair. Sincerely, Paul Lieb, Ohio
The
website has a video showing it.
