Hi all! My buddy Bo, has a great ranch in Northern New Mexico; Brazos River Ranch. He sent me this mail which details an amazing experience. It's worth an article in any hunting magazine, local paper and a story on national TV.................... * MUST READ--------I just had an amazing weekend... Our first rifle hunt went 4 for 4 and one of our hunters was handicap. Mike was in an accident 6 years ago, which left him completely BLIND. Mike didn't let this stop him from doing what he always enjoyed, hunting. When I was first approached about this, I too wondered how are we going to pull this off. Well, we did!!!! Mike has a special camera that looks through the scope and projects the image on a 2"x2" LCD screen. He rests the rifle on shooting sticks and we guide him on the target with voice commands (right, right, left, left...hold). When he's on the target we give him the shoot command (gun) and Mike lets one go. Believe me, this is totally amazing... We didn't treat Mike any differently then any other hunter. We made him walk/stalk, sit in the cold while we call try to call in elk, and everything every other hunter does. Mike got his first bull elk (5x5) on the 3rd night. His shot was one for the books...355 yds center mass behind the shoulder and did I say, HE'S BLIND!! Congrats Mike and thanks for allowing us to share in this very special memory. Brazos River Ranch...   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||

That's great! Congrats to Mike! 30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking. | |||

Congrats to the hunter! Out of curiosity, how does he hike etc as the terrain I'm sure can be tricky to negotiate at times. | |||

Wow, that is fantastic. Weidmannsheil to the successful and tenacious hunter! A resounding "well done" to the guides as well. - mike ********************* The rifle is a noble weapon... It entices its bearer into primeval forests, into mountains and deserts untenanted by man. - Horace Kephart | |||

Absolutely fantastic! That's dedication to the sport. I suspect he'd been missing the experience and found a way to get back into it. Congratulations to him and those that made it happen. Ken....
