The IDHA today secured 2700 acres of public land for "special" hunts.
Today members of the IDHA agreed in principal with the owenership of a very large tree farm and nursery in Indiana to allow some special opportunities hunts for deer.
First, in 2006 there will be a "Hunt of a lifetime" for terminally ill youth, secondly there will be an "Ample" amount of first time youth hunters allowed to hunt the new "youth deer hunt" the last weekend in Sept 2006.
Finally there will be a handicapped deer hunt on the same property.
All from an orginazation tha has been reported as not supporting "opportunity".

Well I sure blew that post, it is private land and not public.
Camby, I'll not fall into you constant baiting on crossbow. You know as well as everyone else my position. I'll just set back and smile......
I didn't know I was required to meet a criteria to post here or anywhere else?

The property has only been hunted by the family, all the hunts mentioned will be only for the individuals and the family will not be hunting. The family will be doing some of the guiding.
This is a very generous landowner who only wants to share their property, there is no hidden agenda. The IDHA was chosen after they had "investigated the organization". We had no knowledge of the business or individuals.
What started as a Handicapped youth hunt possibility blossomed into a multiple opportunity. We invision turning the Make a Wish Hunt over to Greendeem or a local C O, the youth hunt will be a joint IDHA & IBA venture and the disabled hunt will be IDHA &Wheeling Sportsmen event.

911:
Thanks I am sure we have a opportunity for your help! I bet you would have a day to help in the youth hunt? 911, you find a youth who needs this opportunity to get started hunting and we will make sure that youth gets in the hunt.
The property is in Southern Indiana.... not too far of a drive for folks who wish to help

It should be pointed out that the national Make a Wish Foundation caved to anti-hunting pressure and no longer provides hunting oppurtunities, lest someone gets the wrong idea and sends donations there way. The Hunt of a Lifetime Foundation and TNUSA are now providing hunts for terminally ill children.
