WY proposed regulation change Disabled Veterans!

This is a guy who is taking advantage of a 5 day season extension as a "100% disabled military veteran". This is exactly the abuse the Department is trying to avoid by modifying the requirements. The changes won't affect those with qualifying physical disabilities who would benefit from the advantage of a 5 days season extension.
This bull was killed on a general unit in Wyoming days before the season opened. As were all the bucks he so proudly displays behind him during the comentary.

The therapeutic value and conservation return to the community (of this guy picking off his “target” buck/bull a week ahead of everyone else, every year) should be appreciated by all. Hopefully the commission all gets a chance to view that video before a decision is made.

Ha! I’ve wondered about that guys string of nice bucks for a while….

I have the utmost respect for anyone who served, but that guy doesn’t need a head start.
 
Man never really paid attention to who was getting tags or how they were used. I agree that guy dosnt need a head start, same as the guy Appaloosa seen coming out of the high country with a big buck 2 days early, I appreciate everyone who serves our country but they shouldn’t be taking advantage of programs like this . There are people that really could use a head start so why take that away from them with self greed is how I see it with guys like that.
 
My FIL has been totally blind since 1987, before he was my FIL. He’s the one the introduced me to the high country with only one eye and the other slowly going. Both industrial accidents. But we have had some good hunts, cow moose, cow elk and deer . Talk about a challenge, he had a rifle set up that had pistol scope on it. He would get everything set up then his eyes, who ever was behind him would direct his direction and tell him when to squeeze the trigger!
 
He got the permit to start the 5 days early. But I think he only put it to use once that I can remember and that was for a doe deer in a unit close to home. No tags donated. Just went through the regular draws. Had a few 100 cow elk tags, I wished he would have tried 5 days early on those tags cause those desert elk don’t like to hang around lol. But still good times and memories were made.
 
I remember when he drew a cow moose tag, back when moose were more plentiful, but I was his eyes on that hunt and got caught up in the moment. After the shot I said let’s go drug him through a creek bed, twisted his ankle then got another shot and I left him standing there and took off running to see if I could find it. Lol found it but then had to run back and get him still holding the gun not knowing what was going on. Fortunately we finally got it accomplished. Now it’s etched in my memories!! Now I believe people in that condition should have some advantage but he never used it. Respect to him!!
 
There are people that could use a head start and people who abuse the systems in place which is pretty sad. Kinda bummed he hasn’t hit me up this year to get him applied for the draws but after chasing desert cow elk the last few years he might have had enough who knows but if he’s done it’s been a good ride and I’ll get additional cow tag if he thinks he wants some meat for the freezer.
