FAIRBANKS -- John-Taylor Lawton thought his moose hunting days were over after losing one of his legs three years ago.
So when Lawton received a call from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers asking him if he wanted to take part in a moose hunt for disabled veterans at the Chena Flood Control Project, he readily accepted."I said, 'You've gotta be kidding; I'd love to go out and moose hunt.' I haven't been out to a moose camp since I lost my leg. It's something I never thought I'd do again."
As luck would have it, Lawton, 50, wound up shooting a young bull moose on the last day of the five-day hunt, one of two that were taken by disabled hunters in this year's hunt.

Lawton downed the bull with one shot from about 150 yards. "He dropped like a stone."
Read the rest - it's a great story.
