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

be Don’t drag the baa! Who”
