Able Outdoors

Carbon Score: 8

After a devastating car crash left Chad Hughey paralyzed, many wondered if his days in the field were over. But not Chad. In this moving episode of Able Outdoors, we follow Chad on a return trip to Florida to chase the elusive Osceola turkey — and something much deeper: purpose, healing, and the thrill of the wild. From reliving the traumatic accident to re-learning life from a wheelchair, Chad opens up about the darkest moments he’s faced — and how the outdoors became his lifeline. With grit, gratitude, and the support of the adaptive hunting community, he’s not only back in the woods… he’s thriving. Through early morning gobbles, laughter in the blind, and powerful reflections on faith and family, this story will stick with you long after the last turkey call fades. This is more than a hunt — it’s a testimony to resilience, to camaraderie, and to never giving up.
