    It's been years since I've done any deer hunting because I ended up in a hit and run accident that left me in a wheelchair. I'm now trying to get back into it. There's a state park in north central Illinois that caters to disabled hunters. I'm trying to find someone up here who'd be interested in maybe hunting together.

    Thanks all. I live in the western Chicago burbs. I saw on the DNR site they have some good accessibility at Shabbona Lake, but am open to wherever reasonable. Just looking to find a way into the game.

    Welcome to the site! You might also want to look into Midewin National Tallgrass in Joliet. I know they have several stands setup and I believe that several of them are handicap accessibile. I have a father that is a quadrapalegic and wish that I could get him intersted in hunting. I really wish that I had some property that I could get you out on. If I hear of anything I will be sure to get in cotact with you. Glad to hear that you are giving it a shot! Best of luck t you!

    You are right by me. I know of one or two others from this site that also live in Hawthorn Woods.
