Outfitter Listing accessible hunting & fishing guides

Follow Me

    I realize how difficult it can be to find just the right place to hunt, and with just the right outfitter, when you have special needs.

    This is why I started keeping a list of guides that have experience with disabled clients. Every one of them listed below has either been approved by me or been recommended by another disabled outdoorsman.

 
 

There are many hunting & fishing guides that are willing to take disabled clients. And it's always a good idea to ask a lot of questions and check references before you travel to hunt with someone you don't know.

Most states require non-resident hunters to apply for licenses every year. The dead lines are typically from February to April so you need to plan early for hunts in the Fall.

Also, some states have special accomodations for mobility-impaired hunters and issue special cards for qualifying applicants. You will need to call the Game & Fish Dept. for that state and ask for an application that will require a detailed description of your disability and a doctor's signature.

The point is you should start early if you're planning on going out-of-state.

Good Hunting!

We have been hunting with them for several years, with very good success (near 100%). There is an opening for a physically challenged hunter who is mobile, who can climb into a typical ladder stand.
