    🤔 According to Geisinger, many hunters suffer life-threatening heart attacks or strokes while in the woods.

    I carry nitroglycerin for the heart in case of pain .I don't carry out deer ,I call my two sons and they always know my location I hunt ! Recommended that you also carry Aspirin 325 mg .It can save your life !

    I had a friend who had a heart attack dragging out a deer. He died in the hospital. You stand or sit, possibly for hours and then go from 0 to 100. Exertion like that is not good for you. Where I go hunting, we carry radios. If anyone gets a bear it gets placed on an aluminum ladder to be removed from the woods. Four men can carry and two drag if the rocks get really bad.

    Same deal as having a heart attack while shoveling snow, blood gets very chilled in an extremity that is not well insulated and becomes gelatinous, gets pumped back toward the heart, plugging a cardiac artery, causes a miocardial infarction. Dress well, use boot and hand warmers and take an aspirin before you go out stand hunting.

    If you happen to be a Fudd, kindly disregard the above advice. Do continue on your present course. Especially the drinking in the rickety tree stand you*ve been using since 1974.
