"Deer hunting may put men's hearts at risk"

The problem isn't that men go hunting, it's that they don't hunt *enough*. If we'd all go out more often, we'd get in better shape, and thereby reduce our risk...right?

(Dear Uncle Sugar: Can I please have $2,000,000 to research this?)
 
Everyone keeps mentioning tax dollars and wasting federal funds on this, but does anyone know for sure that this was funded by Uncle Sam? I'm just asking because alot of this type of research is funded by private organizations.

i really don't get this. I'll explain I had heart surgery in may, I still in recovery but doing good. What I don't understand is that the so called study says that hunting gets the heart rate real high. Well I have never hunt but I would like one day. Anyway the point is when I go to my therapies 3 times a week, they get my heart rate high on purpose to see how i'm doing, by making me exercise a lot or things like that then they make me rest and everything is good to go.
Anyway I'll say let's get this people that makes this studies some real information about heart disease or what the doctors do to cure people that has it.
So I guess I should go hunting instead of therapy, that way I'll be doing the exercise I need and I have to do it 3 times a week like therapy is. lol
So when I go to the range is bad for me too, because I won't stop going I love it. I just think that somebody waste "some" money on all this, just my .02
 
Yep....all that cardio is REALLY bad for you. Just ask the American Heart Association.

Sheesh. The lengths that some of these ninnies won't go to with their little agendas.

Next, they'll be telling me that my obsessive practice sessions with a 70lb bow are bad for me.

I must admit. It's almost entertaining watching the anti's of all flavors twist and contort their little minds to avoid truths that are old, simple, and timeless.

Any sudden out of normal extra physical activity will increase heart rate, etc.

I have three stents in my arteries and the Dr. said do activities as tolerated.
I exercise daily as well as walk up and down my mountain neighborhood daily. The Dr. says to increase the heart rate. That is what exercise is.

Although I don't think I will have a heart attack, I would rather have a heart attack from deer hunting than sitting around from office stress.

If you don't do anything, your health is worse off.
 
I'm with 10X.

If I have any say in the matter, I'd MUCH rather keel over in the middle of the woods, under the watching eyes of nature than under fluorescent lights and the gawking stares of co-workers.

The hunt does no more damage to the heart than the average driveway with 6" of snow to shovel does, but we don't see anyone trying to scare people away from keeping their driveways & sidewalks clear, do we?

Actually, they do warn people who have cardiovascular issues to be careful when shoveling snow. The stress can and has caused heart attacks.

That being said, the study isn't of any value at all. The study group was far too small and the findings meaningless. They took a group into the wild and "found" that they had a higher heart rate than when excercising in a controlled environment. An amazing and astounding finding that must have been published to fill space in a slow month.
