Owen Orthmann: Taking Bears and Bucks with a Puff of Air

One of my most memorable trips was when I had a bear in range. I was sighted in right behind its shoulder. I blew into my straw to fire the bow but nothing happened. I had forgotten to plug the device that fires the crossbow into the battery that powers my wheelchair.

Owen Orthmann’s Mentor – Outdoor Writer Otis “Toad” Smith

My caregiver Heidi goes with me when I bowhunt for deer, because she likes to hunt as much as I do. When she’s hunting with a muzzleloader, I leave my crossbow at home and go with her. Fortunately, we know quite a few quadriplegics that live here in the Twin Cities who hunt, although not very many of them have my level of injury. I think one of the reasons that more quadriplegics don’t bowhunt

For the Love of Hunting with Mossy Oak Pros Owen Orthmann and Heidi Kern

Owen Orthmann lives in the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis/St Paul, Minnesota. With the help of his long time caregiver Heidi Kern, he has been a member of the Mossy Oak Pro Staff ever since it restructured by Tim Anderson. Orthmann strictly bowhunts and takes deer, bear and antelope with his crossbow. Even though he is paralyzed from the tops of his shoulders down, he’s refused to give up the sport he loves so dearly.

The Strangest Muzzleloader Elk Hunt Ever

With the muzzleloader season already having started on September 10, 2016, and lasting for 10 days, I remembered a muzzleloader hunter I’d had last year. We had covered a lot of ground on this hunt. Then we heard a large group of elk out in front of us, but night was fast approaching. So, we decided to go back to camp and make a plan.
