you think you can get my dad, Tony, a good deer?” inquired Rich Baalman
from Oregon. “He is an older guy and he has some physical issues.” Without
even knowing what his limitations were, I said “Yeah it shouldn’t be a problem.
Our area is pretty easy to hunt, mostly farmland and the walking is on fairly
level ground, not too far to go most times.” Even knowing that, I thought
I better ask what he meant by physical issues though. “Why? What are his
issues?” “Well he is 66 years old and pretty heavy, around 285 pounds at
5 foot 9 inches. “Okay, that’s not too bad,” I thought. “He also has some
bad arthritis and his left hip especially causes him quite a bit of pain,”
explained Rich. “Well, that might make walking tough,” I imagined, “but
we should be able to do it. Is that it?” I asked. “Oh yeah, he is also missing
his right leg,” said Rich. “What the heck!?” I was shocked by that one!
“Well, he does have a prosthetic leg,” Rich countered. I was used to taking
out hunters who are not in very good shape but this was a new one for me.
I was a bit nervous about it, but I thought, “Why not?” Actually I enjoy
the challenge of helping out guys with physical limitations- makes a guide
feel good knowing you can get almost anybody his animal. Click
