22—Lancaster Farming, Saturday. October 5; 1968" Take A# Good Care Of Your Heart As You Do Of Your Gun Hunting season is here again, but with a little bit of fore* thought, it need not be open sea son on hunters. Among tfie hazards of hunt ing is accidental death from a gunshot one’s own gun, or that of another hunter. Not so dramatic, but at least three times as prevalent, is the tra gedy of heart attack deaths. Unlike the deer, who can Only try to outrun their stalkers, hunters can take certain precau tions to avoid falling prey to the risks of the hunt. Here are some recommendations from (Your) Heart Association of Lancaster County to help bring hunters back alive. First off, ask yourself this question- Do I have the heart to hunt? It’s not sentiment or ethics we’re concerned about here, but the condition of your heart. Deer hunting often demands a level of energy output which may be triple or quadruple the level at which most part-time hunters operate during the rest of the year. Extremes of weather, change of altitude, rough terrain and the stress of the chase can levy a heavy tax on the heart’s capacity. In a unique series of experi ment, the Minnesota Heart As sociation recently measured the heart stress on a deer hunter “who not only gets his deer but who drags it out of snowy woods single-handed ” It was too much, they found, for 11 per cent of a pre-screened group of men over 40 who had no evi dence of heart trouble The men who underwent the tests had previously been examined and -found to have apparently norm al hearts' It’s obvious, therefore, that the hazards to an unexa mmed cross-section of hunters over 40 would be higher. j Accordingly, the most impor tant word from (Your) Heart Association of Lancaster County is I Have a complete physical exa mination before you plan your hunting trip Then your doctor can, if necessary, suggest ways in which you can pace yourself, get your deer and at the same time minimize the strains on your heart Number one on his list would be Don’t drag the baa!
