I've recently been diagnosed as legally blind. I know Utah allows a designated shooter, has anyone actually been involved in a situation like this? I just want some feedback before I apply.
 
Sorry to hear about your vision problem. Best of luck with it.

Here's your info:

R657-12-5. Companion Hunting and Fishing.
(1) A person may take protected wildlife for a person who is blind, upper extremity disabled or quadriplegic provided the blind, upper extremity disabled or quadriplegic person:
(a) satisfies hunter education requirements as provided in Section 23-19-11 and Rule R657-23;
(b) possesses the appropriate license, permit and tag;
(c) obtains a Certificate of Registration from the division authorizing the companion to take protected wildlife for the blind, upper extremity disabled or quadriplegic person; and
(d) is accompanied by a companion who has satisfied the hunter education requirements provided in Section 23-19-11 and Rule R657-23.
(2) A person who is blind may obtain a Certificate of Registration from the Division by submitting a signed statement by a licensed ophthalmologist, optometrist or physician verifying that the applicant is blind as defined in Section R657-12-2(2)(a).
(3)(a) A person who is upper extremity disabled or quadriplegic may obtain a Certificate of Registration from the division upon submitting evidence of the disability.
(b) The division shall accept the following as evidence of an applicant's disability:
(i) obvious physical disability demonstrating the applicant is quadriplegic or upper extremity disabled as defined in Section R657-12-2(2)(d); or
(ii) a signed statement by a licensed physician verifying that the applicant is quadriplegic or upper extremity disabled as defined in Section R657-12-2(2)(d).
(4) The hunting or fishing companion must be accompanied by the blind, upper extremity disabled or quadriplegic person at all times while hunting or fishing, at the time of take, and while transporting the protected wildlife.
 
3 Point I wonder if Scope vision from Phone scope could help you? That why you could get on the gun. Someone next to you can watch threw the camera and tell you when you on the animal and pull the trigger. Seems like it would make it like a real hunt. Because you would be really doing everything. Maybe with it and some practice a two man team could get confidence in the system.
