The Wheelin’ Sportsmen group in Virginia is planning some new events for this year’s hunting season. Roanoke.com reported today that the U.S. Forest Service has upgraded a disabled sportsman hunting area on Potts Mountain in Craig County, Virginia and is taking applications for keys to the area.

Workers have cleared saplings and brush to create several open food plots along the road. “Wide and well graded”, the trails are wheelchair friendly.
