Pennsylvania is a great state for hunting. It's also a great state for enforcing the Americans with Disabilities Act. Not that they haven't had a few problems with both. In fact, they had a problem last year with both...at the same time.

Henry was born blind. He never let that stop him. He was completely independent and proud of it. He decided he wanted to go hunting like his brother. He filled out the application for a hunting license and was awarded one. Nowhere on the license does it ask if you can see.

The Game Commission took the license away when someone, Henry's brother, reported it. Henry filed a lawsuit and won. The state had to figure out a reasonable accommodation for Henry. "I can't see how we can do this", a Game Commission spokesperson was quoted as saying.

Now all the blind people were pissed. The spokesperson said he wasn't making a pun, it was just a cliché. The blind people weren't buying into that. Now they all wanted to go. The Game Commission told the spokesperson that he would be their guide. Get going!

They were walking through the woods when the guide heard this clicking noise. He halted the blind group and listened. He couldn't hear it. They started on again and the noise started again. Again he halted the group and the noise stopped. Eventually he whirled around when he heard the noise and discovered it was the group taping their canes on trees.

Oh, great! What kind of deer is going to hang around when it hears this? There are guys that have hunted for years and not gotten their buck. Never even saw one. Guys like Brad Kiley. He did shoot a cow once but he paid a heck of a fine for that. He also shot a bear once. It wasn't in season and it wasn't hurt. Brad was laid up for months.

The guide knew he was going to have to hope for a deaf deer. Good thing the deer aren't covered by the ADA. Late in the afternoon he saw the buck. The buck didn't see them and, better still, didn't hear them. There is a God.

"Okay, move the rifle a little to the right. Now to the left just a smidgen. Down a hair. Up a little. Too far. Down a couple of hairs. Okay, you got him in your sights. Fire!"

The buck was deaf. What he wasn't was blind. He saw the bark fly off the tree and took off.

"Did I get him?! Did I?!", Henry asked.

"No, you got the tree", the guide told him.

"I got the tree! I hit the tree! Who says a blind man can't shoot? I got the tree!".

The guide didn't have the heart to explain to Henry that he couldn't miss a tree. He was in the woods.
