Wheelchair Accessible Hunting

Wheelchair accessible hunting is popular among men and women hunting enthusiasts. Special wheelchairs and adaptive equipment, nonprofit clubs and other organizations for the disabled, and state regulations that accommodate the needs of the disabled all make the great outdoors more accessible than ever.

If you’re deciding whether hunting is the right activity for you, here are some things to consider:
  • Should you use a manually powered or electronic wheelchair? If you have good upper-body strength, a manual chair might be the right choice. But if you experience pain or are easily tired, an electronic chair might be the better option.

  • Would your hunting experience be enhanced by an all-terrain or off-road style of wheelchair? If so, make sure the wheels and tires are tough enough to handle the terrain.

  • Look into the many kinds of adaptive equipment available, including trigger adapters, gun rigs, and duck blinds.
If you’re interested in finding out more about hunting options, the Internet is a great resource. There you’ll find links to laws and permits that affect the disabled on a state-by-state basis.

You’ll also find a host of clubs and organizations dedicated to making wheelchair hunting an enjoyable experience. For example, Accessible Canadian Adventures (ACA) designs, coordinates and arranges hunting, fishing and wildlife photography adventures specifically for disabled sportsmen and women.

ChairboundHunters.com is another group that helps gives physically challenged hunters the opportunity to experience quality hunting in beautiful southeast Wyoming.
