So i was watching the Canadian Tradition today and i noticed that a disabled hunter from last years show took a prong horn antelope ( In Alberta ). He was in a side by side ATV and must have took the shot from the atv since both of his legs were amputated from the knee down. Since it a offence to shoot from a vechicle in B.C what does the MOE and the Transportation Act do for handicap hunters. Are they actually expected to get of their vehicles to take a shot. Your thoughts?

I have a disabled person I know that has very low eyesight, could I shoot the animal for that person?

Not sure, I didn't see anywhere in the form regarding eye sight. Call the MOE up and ask..

Yes . Go for it. In fact, next time I forget my glasses, I'm gonna get my buddy to shoot it.
Good idea.

Noah that was uncalled for, a little low blow? There are no dumb questions to ask on HBC butt I see like yours there are dumb answers. Or uncalled for sarcasm.
Jel..0 .. lol...I have a question can I shoot or another way of saying it, the visual impaired individual wants to hunt but can't see too far.
