Wounded warrior bags his buck (Blind Iraq Vet gets Deer)

Jeremy Feldbusch may not see his deer the way a million other Pennsylvania hunters do.

But, last week, the local Iraq War veteran, who was blinded by shrapnel wounds in April 2003, knew what it was like once more to bag a buck.

Feldbusch helped break ground in Pennsylvania, when he was issued a new special Game Commission permit which allows blind outdoor enthusiasts to join the hunt--aided by a human companion and a firearm which projects a laser beam to the target.

Accompanied by his father, Brace, who helped him aim at his quarry, Feldbusch felled a button buck with one shot while hunting Dec. 2 along the Conemaugh River between Torrance and Bolivar.

2. "Here we go again"
Yeah. Isn't this what that Outdoor Life forum was supposed to be for?

7. I meant my post as a simple, honest compliment
Not some kind of egoistic self-affirmation.

Iverglas accurately described one of the reason this (Outdoor Life) forum was created.
