We've
made it our goal to provide the physically challenged (those
confined to wheelchairs or legally blind) with the opportunity
to experience first-hand the challenges and rewards of big game
hunting in beautiful, remote surroundings.
The
location:
The Ballinger Wilderness Retreat is located about 25 miles from
Cody, Wyoming and about the same from the East Entrance to Yellowstone
Park. The property is accessed by a 3.5-mile trip up a 4-wheel
drive road.
The
hunt:
Wheelchair accessible, spacious hunting blind; soundproof, heated,
panoramic view. Hundreds of elk and deer winter in the area.
We have a very high hunter success rate.
We
offer:
5-day
hunt for antlerless elk
10-day hunt for any elk license
5-day deer hunt
Our
facilities:
The wheelchair accessible cabin sleeps up to 5 family-style
and offers a modern kitchen and bathroom, running water, shower,
generator, wood heat, and spectacular views. When a caregiver
is needed, hunters will need to bring their own caregiver -
accommodations for caregivers included in the price. Our facilities
can accommodate the smaller motorized wheelchairs only - hunters
with larger motorized wheelchairs can make arrangements for
lodging in Wapiti or Cody. (We can provide contact information).
Transportation from Cody airport to the hunt area can be arranged
if needed.
Hunting
Licenses:
Applications for non-resident elklicenses must be in to the
Wyoming Game & Fish between Jan. 1 and Jan. 31 - if you've
missed this date for the current year, call us and we can give
you further information on late drawings. For both elk and deer
hunting license applications, visit http://gf.state.wy.us
Surrounding
Area:
Three airlines (Frontier, United and Delta Connections)
provide air service to Cody, the nearest airport. If you have
extra time, Cody has numerous things to offer including the
world-class Buffalo
Bill Historical Center, with the Cody Firearms Museum, Draper
Museum of Natural History, Whitney Gallery of Western Art, and
the Plains Indian Museum. Cody also offers excellent dining
opportunities.
Please
call, write or email us for pricing and additional information.
