The combination of physical exertion, adrenaline rush and the stress of rough terrain and cold weather may explain the "excessive cardiac demands" seen with hunting, according to Haapaniemi's team.

And also with mountain climbing, hiking, running on a cross-country team, and maybe putting up Christmas lights (hey, climbing up and down that ladder counts as rough terrain!) :)

What a goofy study.

No kidding. Of all the activities that may put stress on the heart, deer hunting would be very low on the list. This had to be done for some whacky animal rights group.
