On Saturday February 2, 2008, a special waterfowl hunt for disabled persons was provided by the Virginia Waterfowler’s Association with assistance from the Virginia Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation Wheelin’ Sportsman Program and VDGIF Outdoor Education staff. The day started with VDGIF Outdoor Education staff briefing the seven handicapped hunters (and one assistant), four active duty members of our Armed Forces, and two youth hunters in the basic rules of firearms safety, zones of fire, and hunting safely from a blind. Following the safety briefing, the hunters were transported to specially designed blinds for handicapped hunters. Pro Staffers from several call makers served as guides for the day’s hunt, providing instruction in the subtleties of hunting the Canada Goose, as well as the art of calling.
