Moose hunt for a mobility-impaired hunter?
My wife told me this weekend that she would like to go moose hunting in Alaska. The difficulty is that she has a bad ankle, and can not walk more than a mile or two on uneven ground. Recommendations on how to accomodate this problem would be welcomed. One of the alternatives that I have considered is a float trip. Your feedback on this and other options/recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

I highly reommmend doing a float trip, did my first one last year and will be doing another very soon. If you need someone to help you set it up, contact Larry Bartlett at
http://www.PristineVentures.com he helped set mine up and I rented all my float gear from him. Everything was already loaded on the place when we arrived to fly out.

got to go by boat. My dad has a bad leg and can't walk too far either, I took him out by airboat for his moose hunt two years ago. a float trip would probably be your best bet.
