2000 DOI Report |
||||||
|
A 2000 Report done on behalf of the US Departments of Interior and
Agriculture discusses disabled access on Federal lands, and is a good
indication of the problems that disabled hunters face in many states. This
report discusses such issues as the lack of concern (low priority) for
disabled access to the wilderness, and why it is incorrect to believe that
the ADA does not or should not cover the issue of wilderness access. This
report gives recommendations specific to disabled hunting including
improving access to road gates, and allowing the crossbow as an
accommodation. To view excerpts from this report, please click here.

|

within disabled hunting regulations in many states -- regulations that are
too narrow, and do not offer enough flexibility to accommodate an
individual's specific and unique needs. Excerpts from this report can be read
here. >>more>> |
