You can hunt from a wheelchair (or other vehicle) with the Disability Hunting Permit.
Qualified persons with disabilities must be a veteran of any war or armed conflict
Veterans with qualifying disabilities must have been injured or ill during service in an armed conflict. This could include combat-related services, training, and the use or weapons or chemical material. Combat-related service must include combat-related injuries sustained during an attack, occupation, or raid on a hostile country. A veteran who was held hostage by an enemy may also be eligible to receive disability benefits if exposed to Agent Orange/chemical weapons.

Hunting with a crossbow
Some states, such as Maryland, allow disabled hunters to use a crossbow during archery season. This permit is subject to a doctor's recommendation and verification of the disabled.

Hunting with crossbows is a legal option.

How to build deer blinds
A deer blind can be used as a hunting device to conceal game animals like deer and elk. The blind consists of a small enclosure, usually made of canvas or wood and often covered with branches and leaves. The hunter waits for the animal's arrival and hides in the enclosure. Hunting at night is easier with a deer blind.
You can find deer blinds in many sizes and shapes. Some are portable while others are permanent structures. They are made from materials such as plywood, cardboard and plastic.
The most common type of deer blinds is box blinds (also known as box stands). These blinds consist of a box made of wood with walls and a roof. They are easy to construct and move.
A tree stand is another type of deer blind. Tree stands are natural looking so that it is not obvious they exist. Most tree stands are permanently fixed to trees.
Ground blinds are also available, which look similar to tree stand but are built into a ground. Ground blinds are usually camouflaged in dirt, rocks or sand. Ground blinds may also be known as "ground boxes"
There are many different ways you can hunt in a deer blind. One way is to sit still and wait for the animal to approach. You can also try moving around to scare away the animal. If this is your preferred method, keep quiet and don’t move too often. This could lead the animal to think you're a predator and run off.
You will need to locate a spot where you can use the blind. It is important to choose a location where the wind doesn't blow your scent towards the animal. Avoid hiking areas.
Finally, make sure you know how to properly set up the deer blind, because the last thing that you want to happen is for the animal to see you and run away.
