Colorado hunters who have disabilities could have an opportunity to participate in a guided deer hunt at Ridgway State Park during fall 2015.
A total of four hunters, two for the first season, and two for the second season, will be chosen for these hunts.
To qualify, the hunters must hold or obtain an accommodation permit from Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Hunters must have a permanent disability that significantly impairs major life functions and their ability to hunt, or have a physical impairment resulting from permanent medical conditions that make it impossible to hunt without someone else’s help.
Those eligible must first apply for and obtain a Game Management Unit 62 deer license for the first or second season through the regular license draw. The deadline to apply for limited licenses is April 7. Disabled hunters who obtain a license can then receive a hunting application for the Ridgway State Park hunt. If more than four hunters apply there will be a drawing to make the selection.
To obtain an application, email Andy Dean at andrew.dean@state.co.us or call (970) 626-5822.
