Nels Hadden may have lost use in his hands, arms, and legs, but he never stopped fighting the good fight for what makes him happy…hunting.

“You go to the mountains and the air seems cleaner and fresh,” said Hadden. “You don’t have all the noise and cars.”

Six years ago an act of kindness almost cost him his life.

He was driving home from work on an icy freeway when he saw a car hit a patch of black ice on the road.

“They had went upside down into the ditch and I witnessed all of it so I pulled over and ran back to assist those people,” said Hadden.

However it was not safe.

Moments later a car going almost 60 miles per hour slid on the ice and ran right into him.

After that he spent almost a year in hospitals.

For the rest of his life, he would be a prisoner in a wheelchair, tied down to only homelife.

Never would he smell the fresh mountain air again.

“I never thought I was gonna be able to do it again,” said Hadden.

Hadden can do different tasks ranging from using his computer to hunting in the mountains.

He blows or sucks from the straw to work this system.

The technology is put to great use with his hunting crossbow.

Allowing him to shoot down animals on his own.

However, a few people wanted to help him become even more capable on the hunt.

So someone he had never met before decided to spend their time and money to build him a hunting blind that would accomodate his wheelchair.

“I’m blessed to have somebody that cares and you know has helped me do that,” said Hadden.

Hunting, something that used to be as easy as walking to Hadden has become a challenge.

However the fact that he can still do it makes him happy.

“When you spend a year in bed you have a great appreciation for just getting up and being able to get out and be outside,” said Hadden.
