Haskel "Hack" Albertson
Hack is an avid hunter and fisherman from Salem, Indiana. He is a little unique because he has been doing it from a wheelchair for the last 18 years.

Hack is a Veteran of the United States Marine Corps and Treasurer/Board Member of the Kentucky & Indiana Chapter of Paralyzed Veterans of America. He loves to fish, trap, bow hunt, and gun hunt. Big whitetail bucks are his passion, and he has several Hoosier Record Book qualifying bucks on his wall.

Hack fishes as an annual competitor on the PVA National Bass circuit, a B.A.S.S. sanctioned event.
Helping other disabled people realize that they can get back to doing what they love in the out-of-doors is Hack's legacy. He strives to motivate and educate others that anything is still possible; it just takes work and will power to find a way to do it and get it done. He recently went to Alaska on a bear hunt and fished in PVA Bass tournaments in Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas, placing 21st out of 158 anglers for the 2011 Angler of the Year. His next goal is an elk or caribou with a bow. This paralyzed Marine is always on the go!
