Thats what ATV's and kids are for . All you do is pull the trigger They do the rest. Sort of a redneck safari
In a study of 25 middle-aged male deer hunters, researchers found that the activities inherent to hunting -- like walking over rough terrain, shooting an animal and dragging its carcass -- sent the men's heart rates up significantly.
In some cases, this led to potentially dangerous heart-rhythm disturbances, or diminished oxygen supply to the heart.

Do we really need to threads about this?

Doesn't the same thing apply to any physical activity that gets your heart rate up?
No, it doesn't and it even says that in the article:
In general, the researchers found, deer hunting put the men's hearts under more strain than the treadmill did. Ten men exceeded the maximum heart rate they logged on the treadmill, and several showed potentially dangerous heart responses to hunting that they did not show during the treadmill test.
Three men had signs of impeded blood flow to the heart during hunting, but not on the treadmill. Similarly, three of the men with heart disease had heart-rhythm abnormalities while hunting that did not show up on the treadmill test.
That was kind of the point of the article is that for whatever reason, the activity of deer hunting resulted in greater heart stress than the traditional treadmill tests that determine heart health and could result in dangerous conditions that has been previously missed.
Then again, with "deer" spelled wrong twice in the post that even has an article to help with the correct spelling, I'm not surprised that nuances of the research were overlooked.
That's a load of crap Jorgie. Just because the the men put the treadmill on low so they can chat and watch TV and don't get their hearts pumping good doesn't invalidate any of my comments. It just proves that they are wasting their time on the treadmill.
