This may be a tall order, but I have to try.
Dad is 95 years old and has expressed an interest to get out and hunt again. He was never a deer hunter, but grew up hunting small game. Understanding his age and limited mobility, squirrel hunting would be the ticket.
He is not handicapped and does not qualify as a disabled person under the DNR's description, so that's out.
Dad is in Belleville. I need to find private property that is relatively close, say Chelsea, Adrian, Jackson, Monroe County, Washthenaw, Fenton, Brighton, etc. It needs to have a two-track so I can drive him in. Once in the woods I can get him off the road 30-40 feet or so and he can sit in a chair provided the ground is relatively flat and clear.
I would prefer permission for Dad, myself, and my son and son in-law. I can't imagine a much finer thing than getting us all out in the woods together. It'd probably be our one opportunity to have three generations hunt. If not, then at least my Dad and me.
This does not need to be an unlimited access, season long type thing. If I could get him out once or twice that'd be fine.
I am hoping against hope that someone out there has a piece of property as described. I would be happy to come out to view the property and clear a path for him to walk ahead of time. I can pay a small amount for the priveledge if need be.
Thanks in advance for any help.
