This is Daniel. After their hunt with us this last Deer Season, we have become very good friends, as we have with Joe, the one who lost his eye. They are just like old friends now. Daniel was given a regular electric wheel chair but it didn't work to good when he went hunting, so he used a manual wheel chair with someone pushing him. He contacted me 2 months ago and told me that the VA offers the track chairs but he needed a letter from a 3rd party stating his need for one. I was very happy to write him one. He called me today and let me know he got approved. This chair is not the one he got but is a demo. His will be just like it. Told him I wanted a ride after pushing him around for a week hehe.

Now that's a cool set up.
He needs a bulldozer blade on the front. He could really clear a path then.

So glad to see the VA actually spending money on new technology to improve the lives of the brave men and women that have put their lives on the line for all of us. And thrilled to see citizens like you Father of Four giving back to the veterans. Well done.

I have to wear sunglasses into the woods, because the deer would recognize me, an just surrender with their hooves up.

With a swiveling seat and firearm, that dude turns into a tank built to hunt. That thing is too cool.
Good job and thanks for writing that letter on his behalf, Fo4.
