It’s been 15 years since Chad Waligura was last on the show giving him the distinction of having the longest time span between visits in Lone Star Outdoor Show history. So what has changed for our quadriplegic hunting buddy in the past decade and half? We have much to discuss with the passionate outdoorsman and Able Outdoors founder. Highlights from the conversation include:

  • A New Mexico pronghorn for the record books
  • Taking a blind man duck hunting
  • How does Chad shoulder a shotgun as a quadriplegic?
  • How did he become paralyzed?
  • How is Able Outdoors helping other “able bodied” hunters?
  • Running AKC Hunt Tests with his labs
  • Do his feet get cold or not?
  • The Ultimate Waterfowler’s Challenge and Chad’s plans to complete it.
  • Cinnamon Teal
  • How many of the 41 duck/goose/crane species does he think he can get in Texas?
  • Slow cooking whole ducks
  • Ringneck vs greenwing teal?
