IRON CO. -- Wildlife Unlimited of Iron County is looking for community support and donations to help offset the cost of constructing their own handicap accessible hunting trailer.

The Wildlife Unlimited Hunting Trailer Committee hopes to raise matching funds to offset the expected $10,000 cost of constructing a locally custom modified trailer. The completed trailer will be a self-contained mobile blind with heaters and the apparatus to allow handicap hunters to fire a gun.

"Without even going out and looking for it we have a half a dozen people already that are just waiting for us to get this operational so they can enjoy it," said Scott Westphal of Wildlife Unlimited.

The committee hopes to obtain the funds and have the trailer constructed by this year's hunting season.
