Disabled Outdoorsmen is an inclusive hunting program for people with disabilities. This film follows four unique individuals who have overcome their own physical challenges, yet still enjoy hunting and the outdoors, which was previously thought impossible. This program grants people the opportunity to serve, allowing them to take their minds off their own daily struggles and help others live life to its fullest.
This film focuses on four men who overcame incredible odds:
Sidney Smith, a double amputee lost his legs to a disease called Charcot-Marie-Tooth. Being a double amputee has not stopped Sidney; he has since become an Ironman and scaled the tallest mountain peak in Utah. He is also an ambassador for outdoorsman who have experienced similar physical challenges.
Braxten Nielsen was a pro rodeo athlete climbing the ranks of the PRCA. During a rodeo in 2017, he broke his back and was tragically paralyzed when he was pinned between a horse and the chute before a ride. He was only given a 5% chance that he would ever walk again. He persevered and he has since beaten those tremendous odds. He is recovering well, walking, and telling and his remarkable story through speaking engagements and his podcast “Born to Succeed.”
Clint Robinson has been in a wheelchair for 32 years after he was thrown off a horse at a rodeo and broke his neck. Despite any physical limitations, he has continued to be an avid outdoorsman. He also designs and creates beautiful leatherwork.
Brock Carter was involved in an ATV accident in 2015 and broke his back, thus paralyzing him from the chest down. This accident has not deterred Brock from continuing his love for the outdoors. His hope is that the Disabled Outdoorsman program can help as many people like him as possible.
These individuals prove that you are stronger than your excuses and that having a physical challenge doesn’t mean you can’t live life to the fullest and enjoy hunting and the outdoors. Disabled Outdoorsman shows people that anything is possible; Sidney, Braxten, Clint and Brock and living proof of that.

We are after rutting bucks on the West Willow Creek Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) in early November. The West Willow Creek CWMU is located adjacent to the Book Cliffs and Ute Indian Reservation in northeastern Utah in prime mule deer habitat.
This isn’t your typical baited bear hunt. The Wild Air crew chose to be up close and personal with these bears as they come and go from the bait. No sitting in a treestand, no hiding in a blind….we chose to sit on the ground just a few yards from the bait. Bow in hand, no cover, and nothing between us and the bait but a few yards of “bear” ground.
Cam is a medical professional, a co-host of the Casual Preppers podcast, and a first-time hunter. Although Cam was raised on a dairy in the country, and has been around hunters most of his life, he has never hunted big game. Cam takes his first stab at hunting with a bow in hand chasing bugling bull elk. Come along as Cam experiences the emotions of his first big game harvest. Watch the film to see how Cam’s hunt unfolds.
“One Day I Will” is a glimpse into the perspective of a young hunter. His hunting passion begins with a focus on the trophy and the kill. Over time he understands that hunting is about so much more than the kill. He realizes that hunting is full of life lessons, experiences, and relationships that will one day become cherished memories. This short film depicts that a love for hunting isn’t something hunters are born with, but something that started generations before. Hunting is about being a part of building and creating a legacy, this young hunter might not know it now, but one day, he will.
With only a few days left before archery elk season opened in Utah, Tyler Rasmussen received a call from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. Tyler had been drawn as an alternate to hunt one of the great limited entry elk units in the state, the famed Book Cliffs Roadless area. Faced with unseasonal heat and the worst drought conditions to hit the region in several decades, the WildAir film crew works to find and harvest a bull elk worthy of this area. If you enjoy the physical and mental challenge of bow hunting elk in rugged country, this is a film you will not want to miss.
