This week on the Accessible Hunter Podcast, we sit down with TJ Cartwright – also known as The Blind Hunter. 

Twelve years ago, TJ’s life changed forever when a bow hunting accident left him blind. But instead of giving up on the outdoors, he found a new way to pursue his passion for hunting. Now, TJ is not only an avid hunter, but also the founder of TheBlindHunter.org, an incredible resource for visually impaired hunters.

His story is one of grit, determination, and a refusal to let anything stand in the way of his love for the hunt. 🌟

Tune in now and be inspired by TJ’s journey and how he’s helping others find their way back into the woods.

Keith Campbell, a remarkable hunter from Tennessee, is redefining the spirit of outdoor adventure despite a life-altering fall from his tree stand that left him paraplegic eleven years ago. Through unwavering resilience, determination, and an unshakable love for the outdoors, Keith has transformed his story into a powerful testament to overcoming obstacles.

With the unwavering support of his family and a strong faith in God, Keith underwent rehabilitation at Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Georgia. His journey is as much about spiritual strength and the profound love of his family as it is about his physical determination.

Whitney Lavender’s story is one of resilience, determination, and grit. After a severe fall in 2017 caused nerve damage and a diagnosis of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), Whitney faced extraordinary challenges. In April 2020, she underwent her first above-the-knee amputation.

By January 2021, Whitney was crowned MS Wheelchair Texas, USA, advocating for inclusivity through her platform, Different is Beautiful.

In September 2022, her CRPS led to another amputation, resulting in a challenging year of physical and mental adaptation.

In 2024, Whitney reclaimed her strength, shedding over 90 pounds, training in Jiu-Jitsu, and embracing her role as a motivator for others.

She’s also an author, with her debut children’s book “Whit and Wheels” set for release in May 2025. Whitney chooses to advocate and make a difference for people with disabilities everyday.

Recently, Whitney’s passion for the outdoors was reignited thanks to the incredible team at Hope Outdoors. With guides Jeff Bryson and Jessica Freeman, Whitney returned to the woods after waiting seven years, capturing unforgettable moments of fellowship and joy. Shoutout to Wes Joyner for making this experience possible and to Jamie Grant for documenting the hunt.

Roy Davis sustained a spinal cord injury at the age of two after a firetruck ran a red light without activating its sirens or lights.

Despite this early challenge, Roy went on to become a professor at the University of Alabama, where he served for many years.

Roy is an avid hunter, fisherman, and outdoorsman. He harvested two beautiful whitetail bucks this season.

This year marks the first time Roy has harvested a mature buck while hunting on his own. Typically, Roy relies on the assistance of his friends, but this time, he accomplished it entirely by himself—aside from loading the buck into his vehicle. Now all of his buddies want him to guide them for a change.

In addition to everything else, he has dedicated the past 20 years to raising funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in memory of his sister, Rebekah Davis, who passed away from leukemia. To date, his efforts have raised over $500,000 for the cause.

Today, we’re honored to welcome an extraordinary guest—Cam Tribolet, author of Dead 13 Times. Cam’s story is nothing short of remarkable, defined by perseverance, faith, and resilience.

After surviving a carjacking where he was shot three times, Cam refused to let that life-altering event define him. Instead, he embraced the challenges, pushing forward with determination and grit.

In his book, Dead 13 Times: Learning to Live After Dying, Cam takes readers on his journey of survival and renewal. His story is proof that no obstacle is too great to overcome, inspiring hunters and outdoors enthusiasts everywhere to face their challenges head-on.

Through advocacy and volunteer work, Cam has helped countless individuals rediscover the joy of outdoor activities like hunting and fishing, proving that the outdoors truly are for everyone.

Join us as we talk with Cam about his incredible journey, his passion for the outdoors, and the life lessons he’s learned along the way.
