If a bill passes the Texas House, soon blind hunters will be able to hunt like the rest of us seeing hunters do. Well, sort of. Rep. Edmund Kuempel has authored a bill that will allow the blind to hunt any game, when in season, just like the rest of us. They will be allowed to use laser sights, which are not permitted for seeing hunters.
The bill provides for the blind hunter to be accompanied by a guide, with good eyesight, who will be able to coach the hunter in aiding them in sighting in game.
