| One Man Chair Blind Modified For A Power Wheelchair By Steve Thompson |
I was looking for a blind that I could use with my power wheelchair for taking pictures while calling coyotes and noticed some chair blinds in a Cabela's catalog. The

Could such a one-person chair blind be modified for use with a power wheelchair? I always remember, "Where there is a will there is a way." We used some 3/4
and 1 inch metal square tubing to mount the blind support bands to arm rest portion of my wheelchair. The following pics show these tube sections and how they
were mounted to the wheelchair.

The following pic shows a a front view of the wheelchair with the blind support bands in place.
The first pic shows the open blind mounted to the chair and the next pic shows the chair blind fully covering the wheelchair.
The chair blind came with a convenient storage bag that I use to carry the blind on the back side of the wheelchair. I also have a wire basket on the back of
the chair to carry my camera case, monopod, etc.

I have been trying to get out and do some more coyote calling, but I had to many excuses with the snow and then the spring rains or else it was the wind.
Finally, I went out to see if I could call up some coyotes again. I have a genetic muscular disorder that has required the use of a wheelchair for my mobility
since 2000. The following pics show a coyote approaching my calling stand while I was using the Ameristep #881, one man chair blind that we modified for
use with my electric wheelchair.
