I think many didn't read this part.

Blind hunters would also have to have a sighted hunter along with them, but they could hunt any game that sighted people can hunt in the same seasons and using the same weapons. "This opens up the fun of hunting to additional people, and I think that's great," Kuempel said. Visually impaired people are able to shoot with the aid of a sighted person, he said.

I don't see any harm in it and it sounds like a reasonable idea under those terms. A sighted hunter would be able to make certain they had a clear shot. More power to them.

Thank you both for the two most coherent replies on the entire thread.

I would like some of the jokers and critics to explain why someone, who may have hunted their entire life, should now be denied that pleasure because their eyesight is failing. Or, why someone, who may have been blind from birth, should not have the opportunity to participate.

Regards
