    Disabled daughter's axis deer hunt


    My daughter, who has cerebral palsy, went on an axis deer hunt the summer of 2020 in south Texas, outside Rocksprings. She uses a vacuum air actuator to fire the weapon (when she sucks on the vacuum tube, the vacuum is changed to an electrical signal via a connected 12v battery, which them pushes a trigger guard mounted actuator against the trigger). I aimed the rifle, my Savage model 110 long range hunter rifle in .308; I mounted a Tactacam on the scope and wirelessly sent the video feed to a tablet that she could view all of the action, approving of the target animal and making the decision to fire. My wife and her mom helped her with the tablet video feed and helping her with the safety and vacuum tube.

    She got a good axis buck and put some great meat in the freezer; her motto has been "fill the freezer" the past few years and has done a great job doing it!

    Fantastic. Congratulations to you all.
    A good wife and a steady job has ruined many a great hunter.

    That is where I would have guessed.
