My Nonprofit Reviews

Hello, my name is Chad Hooks and I have been visually impaired since birth. Up until now I was not able to go hunting or fishing much. However around the first of 2022 I was searching the Internet and found the organization Guiding Eyes Outdoors. This organization helps visually impaired individuals get outdoors and enjoy hunting and fishing. Once I contacted them they were very helpful with getting me involved with their events. I would like to especially say a big THANK YOU to Drew Blake for his friendship, knowledge, and compassion for teaching others with limitations. So far I have been Turkey hunting twice and fishing once within six months. I was able to catch the biggest fish I had ever caught with the guidance of Drew and Billy Judson. Each time the volunteers were very knowledgeable, patient, and motivated to help us learn the sport so we could be successful. All of my life being visually impaired I never really thought that hunting or fishing would be possible. However they have shown me that it is possible while using new technology. I would highly recommend an individual with a visual impairment to contact Guiding Eyes Outdoors if you enjoy being outdoors and would like to learn a new sport. I’m looking forward to the fall when I hope to harvest a nice dear. Thanks again Guiding Eyes Outdoors for these GREAT opportunities!!!!!!
