This forum is real toxic sometimes. Full of keyboard warriors.
I hate when people say I'm "confined" to my wheelchair when it's the very thing that gives me mobility. I can do anything. In fact, I just came back from an International Olympic trap tournament in Italy not too long ago. Anyone can pull a trigger. I probably do more, work more, and travel more than the average able-bodied man, so no, I'm not "confined" to my wheelchair.
I always hunt with friends and they help me retrieve game if it's not in an accessible spot I can roll to with my power assist.
Word of advice, don't ask wheelchair users if they're "confined" to their wheelchairs. We hate it when people say that.
No offense meant. I was just curious as to the circumstances.
Given the current environmental conditions I would imagine that mobility would be difficult in a farmers field.
Migratory bird, when I worked in the Winchester area over to Orleans the snow geese numbers are crazy and they are the most damaging of the geese.

Have you ever hunted waterfowl or just offering the advice? The area you are quoting as far as private lands are concerned is heavily vested in lease holdings by outfitters and hunting groups. You're going to have a hard time gaining access to hunt. Those farmers who need the snow geese removed as you put it are for the most part pretty unconcerned over geese eating leftover waste from harvesting especially when being paid a pretty fair dollar to keep others from busting birds out of their rented fields...to the casual observer seeing huge concentrations of birds in areas they are working or travelling through does not always equate to an open door policy to hunt. Just saying...
Speaking of meeting people on this forum, I had the absolute pleasure of flying out last summer to meet fellow wheelie and super gun nut Bartok5 in real life. He is an awesome guy and I got lots of respect for him for inviting me out to chat guns with him.
Would like to see more of that kind of friendliness on here, and less of the guys who have a "oh u have a bad trader rating" superiority complex.
Word of advice, don't ask wheelchair users if they're "confined" to their wheelchairs. We hate it when people say that.
Also to everyone bashing on my trader rating, the system is flawed and it's too bad there's no way to have feedback removed. Most of the negatives or neutrals are guys pissed off that I won't pay their asking price after negotiations. On gun post, the story is different, if you search up my username there you will see that I am a 5-star seller with over 20 reviews. I find CGN is full of a lot of people who think they know everything, with a carrot stuck up their rear end. Another one of the negative feedbacks came from me pulling out of a deal because my car broke down, and the seller on the other side straight up refused to refund me. So I left a bad review for him, and in retaliation, he did the same.
Sure trader ratings can be a good indicator of how reliable someone is, but I would take it with a grain of salt.
I think it was a valid question (or an important details)
- When chasing hares in the winter, that's what comes to my mind...

The trader rating system isn’t flawed, do some reading. A seller can’t give a negative rating. If one does, have it removed.
I'VE TRIED. I'VE USED THE REPORT FUNCTION MULTIPLE TIMES. It's like the reports land in some inbox that is never even checked. Also what are you talking about, of course a seller can leave a negative rating. Looks like you're the one who needs to do the reading.
Please read the trader rating rules and you’ll see for yourself. And yes you can get it removed but not the way you thought.

What would you have us ask then? Seems like a respectful question to me? I guess it would sound nicer if I asked "is that permanently attached to your ass? You call us disrespectful and want respect, earn it! It's not given out freely just because you are physically challenged. I hear people with disabilities saying all the time they don't want special treatment yet as soon as it suits their purpose, example not getting a warm reception for a place to hunt out comes the trump card, "I'm in a wheelchair". Got news for you, it's not a trump card in my world. Funny it wasn't mentioned until about 40-50 posts in? I'm a trapshooter too and I've shot with many physically challenged shooters over the years. Some were nice folks, some were not but I always treated them the way I would anyone else, no sugar coating. I treat everyone equally. As for the trader rating I use it for it's intended purpose for the most part, purchasing, selling and trading but if a person has a poor trader rating it usually is a good indicator of a persons moral compass. As for ####### I don't go near it, I see lots on there who are nefarious for lousy ratings here with good ratings on there including a few members who lost EE privilidges here!I hate when people say I'm "confined" to my wheelchair when it's the very thing that gives me mobility.

Before you allow this guy on your property, I suggest you look at his trader rating...
Yeah he sure seems like the non committal type
Okay but what does being "confined" to a wheelchair even f0cking mean? Like are you asking if I can stand up and walk? If so, just ask me if I can walk. I hate this ableist attitude I have to deal with every single f0cking day with able-bodied people making me feel like sh1t with their line of questioning.
When a disabled person tells you they don't want to hear certain language being used, maybe think about how it makes us feel before you go off on your ableist rhetoric. I hate being asked if I'm "confined", and that's what I'm trying to convey. Shame you don't have a high enough IQ to understand that.
