 Shane Hall tests out the new concrete ramp and the accessibility to the new wheelchair-bound blind, which members of the public with disabilities can reserve for turkey and deer hunting. [Click to enlarge] |
Hunters will be able to hunt deer and turkey from the blind, which was sponsored by the Forked Deer Long beard Chapter and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. People with disabilities can reserve the blind by calling 731-285-5744.
The site for a second wheelchair-bound blind has been picked out at the Bogota Wildlife Management Area.

What a great thing to do. This proves there are some good people in Dyer COunty. These guys are so thoughtful to help the disabled. If the truth was known I bet they had a lot of fun building it. I have found when you are doing something for others it just plain makes you feel good.
You're right, TNGG, it does a body good to help others but the fact is if the wheelchair user hadn't pitched in and helped those mighty hunters, they would have never finished that blind. LOL. It's a great project, fellows!!! We'll be listening to you Sunday at 9:30 am on 105.3 FM.
