Finally some good news
Maybe in a different thread. Not this one. This thing has been a dumpster fire from the start. I’ve used compounds and crossbows extensively and hunted with multiple disabled folks going back decades. I’ve seen many of the challenges they face. I don’t think there’s many on this thread... -

Do you support disabled hunters using crossbows during archery season in Arizona? A simple yes or no response would be appreciated. -
Finally some good news
WTF . . . seriously? What about the abilities or disabilities of the person using the weapon? The argument holds a hell of a lot of water when you consider what an able bodied person can do with a compound versus what a paraplegic could do with a crossbow. Disabled people using crossbows in... -
Finally some good news
Sure, and you’re good with disabled hunters losing that privilege and I’m not. -
Finally some good news
Did he really though? Most don’t need a permit/license to play basketball or baseball. But some do use wheelchairs to play basketball. Wheelchairs as a tool that allow them to play basketball, just like crossbows allow disabled people to archery hunt. They also build adaptive fields that... -

What age to be a millionaire?
Homes and other real estate are assets. The the debt against them is a liability. The difference between the two is your equity. Bank accounts, brokerage accounts, real estate, personal property, etc. are all assets. Add up all your assets and all of your liabilities and then subtract the...- NEWHunter

Finally some good news
I can think of two greater. Number one is folks gaming the system, resulting in a loss of privileges or additional hurdles for those that were meant to be helped or accommodated. And two is assuming we all are aware of the challenges and issues facing disabled and handicapped folks and we all... -
Finally some good news
See post #41. Not for my specific case, but for all cases. Maybe it’s time for a more nuanced discussion around fixing the system then. -
Finally some good news
See @SaskHunter that’s the thing. It seems you’re assuming I’m coming at this from a somewhat selfish perspective. I’m not worried about what my Dad’s opportunities are with respect to crossbows here in Wisconsin. He has great opportunities here in Wisconsin. I’m worried about what the... -
Finally some good news
And the spiral starts. So what you were getting at regarding Father Time, was what Gerald Martin brought up about slippery slopes? Age wasn’t really a consideration when I made my initial post. The disability has been around for four decades, and while 60 seasons is great, quantity does not... -
Finally some good news
Most things in life could be viewed as a slippery slope. At some point common sense, reason, and logic (all of which are different for everyone on this planet) has to apply. A line has to be drawn somewhere. But the line isn’t limiting crossbows for the disabled. -
Finally some good news
My comment certainly applied to the post I responded to and several others, but now I’m pointing fingers. Help me understand where Father Time comes in to the picture. -
Finally some good news
Not singling you out here, but your equivalency is a little bit off. I’ll offer a different perspective based on what I’ve actually lived for everybody here. I’ve got a front row seat to an ugly, progressive, completely debilitating disease with no known cause or cure. That meant this gun... -

Hilo Hawaii
If it makes you feel any better we had a similar experience in Hawaii with a charter, but without the whales and with ongoing remarks about how important tips are. Good luck.- NEWHunter

About 10 years ago you guys REALLY helped me with my WY speedgoat, now I have questions about elk.
I’ve not hunted either species in WY, but I’m in a similar situation point wise. Seems like elk is more of a priority for you based on the location of this post. Maybe go for deer first and use that hunt/trip as an opportunity to scout your prospective elk unit for the following year. Good luck! -
Life insurance question
I’d cash it in and buy a several hundred thousand dollar term policy. Might want to get a copy of your work policy and read it. If you have to quit your job and battle an eventually fatal disease, that work policy might not pay.- NEWHunter
