The study says that walking in rough terrain and dragging a heavy deer can strain a man’s heart.

Should men quit cutting the lawn and shoveling snow too?

Is this a study funded by liberal environmentalists to get rid of hunting? Or do they truly care about men — the stress their hearts go through when mowing the law and shoveling snow?

The study even said that many of the men smoke too much and are obese. The cause of the men being “at risk” of a heart attack while hunting isn’t the hunting. It’s their lifestyle during the other 51 weeks of the year.

If these men quit hunting, would libs focus on improving the men’s terrible health? Or would the Libs just be happy to have “saved a deer” even though many of the men will die of a heart attack one day anyway?
Will the majority of wives now start mowing the lawn to save their husbands?

The one thing left out by the study is how a week at deer camp is often the most wonderful, friendship building times in a man’s life. It’s a vacation to relieve a year’s worth of mental stress. That can be priceless and wonderful for a man.

Would this study prefer that men have few friends, no fun, and keep being stressed-out?
This certainly seems like a rigged study. Why? How did the researchers end up with such a high number of men who are very at risk for a heart attack — overweight, smokers, etc.?

Great studies typically use random samples.

How about if we promote this kind of study: Find a bunch of obese, heavy smokers, bacon-loving, McDonalds consuming men and women.

Then we study whether or not it’s good for them to even walk from their car to their desk at work, clean their house, take a walk with their kids, etc.

Surely with a biased sample of out-of-shape adults, we can prove that almost any movement is dangerous for them.
The doctor behind the study seems to say she’s surprised that the men who had already been diagnosed with very serious heart conditions and were at risk of heart attack were at risk when they hunted, which is a form of exercise.

Anyone else surprised?
