Helping Another Disabled Hunter by Doug Rasmussen |
|
|
Doug Rasmussen helps another disabled
hunter, Jim Fish, sight in Doug's 50 caliber T/C Hawken rifle and take
his first deer with it in 2004.
The video footage is incredible and
clearly shows how much fun people with disabilities can have!
If life throws you in the mud, just take off your clothes and
get to wrestlin'!!!
Part 1 takes place at the beautiful
Spokane Rifle Club, on the edge of the Spokane River, where the
rangemaster (Jim Causey) welcomes and gladly helps Doug and other
disabled hunters to use the facility each year in preparation for
hunting.
Part 2 takes place at a magnificent farm
in Colville where Doug has taken many disabled hunters to help cull
the exploding whitetail deer population. Jim's hunt was the very
first of this kind for Doug and the landowners.
INDOMITABLE SPIRIT:
Jim survived a near-fatal operation to remove a brain tumor in 1980.
During surgery, he suffered a stroke and lost the use of the left side
of his body.
Coincidentally, Doug's spinal cord tumor
was diagnosed and first operated on that same year.
Now, some 30 years later, Jim walks with
obvious difficulty, but his sense of humor and Joie de
Vivre is tremendous. Jim has become one of Doug's
dearest friends and they have hunted together again and again.
Everyone enjoys being around Jim, who is
an extremely talented artist, specializing in making walking sticks
with animal caricatures painted or burned into and around the knots
and features of each individual stick. Jim creates these walking
sticks as gifts that his lucky friends truly treasure. His love and
humor shines through, in spite of it all!
