He's helping disabled hunters have an adventure of a lifetime
In two weeks, three young Twin Cities men will experience what many hunters view as the ultimate hunting experience: an African safari. Each has hunted ducks or turkeys here, to prepare for pursuing impala and warthogs. Last week, they spent hours training with the rifles and bows they will use to go after Africa's big game. By the way, two of these adventurers have Down syndrome and one has a mental disability. But that's not holding them back from the quest of a lifetime. They've got Paul Langenfeld in their corner.Langenfeld, of Hastings, has worked for years with young adults who have special needs. Society views them as successful if they achieve a more or less "normal" life, he says, but doesn't expect them to experience excitement or adventure. An avid hunter and gun safety instructor, Langenfeld has a more ambitious vision.
