[QUOTE="LongRangeHuntingGuy50, post: 2815992, member: 109191"] Ask if there are multiple types of disability license so you get the right application. In my state there is one for riding onto public land and a different one for hunting from the vehicle. They may also know of disabled hunter groups locally so you can try different setups before buying. There is a group for disabled veterans and a separate group for disabled civilians here. Many states parks do have a free trackchair and/or beach chair rental program. There are some private companies too. Some resort hotels have rollout mats so you can walk on a stable surface from the sidewalk to the water. The downside of the trackchair is the 3mph top speed and battery limits. It would flip over (has anti-tip bars) before it would stop climbing. You can mount the tripod to the chair, allowing 360 degree rotation. Cheap or expensive, anything can fail. I drilled and cross pinned the walking sticks. They fit in the car next to the rifle case. The Deathgrip is excellent. Sometimes the tripod will sink/shift on soft ground. Staking it helps or setting down a sheet of plywood for the tripod and a wheelchair user works so they can rotate. A sturdy ballcap can help stabilize binoculars if her weaker right arm gets shaky. Sticking one finger up to hold the bill of the cap keeps the binoculars stable with the eyes. Ultimately, if the terrain is too much, there are private handicap camps with proper easy trails that you can pay for. There are wooden decks on outcropping with tripod bolted down. [/QUOTE]
