Though not as widely reported as accidents caused by shootings, there are other pitfalls of which hunters must be aware.
Overexertion, caused by too much walking on steep mountain slopes by individuals not accustomed to vigorous exercise, each year causes heart attacks. Smoking or alcohol use can aggravate the situation, causing the hunter to tire more easily and putting more strain on the heart.
Tired hunters are also more prone to missteps which can cause sprains and strains. While not common, falls also injure hunters. Whether it occurs on a steep hill or out of a tree, a fall can be a killer. Again, alcohol use and fatigue can inhibit balance and dull reflexes, making a fall more likely.
Cold, particularly in the early morning, is the bane - some would say the price paid - by hunters. But when it becomes hypothermia or frostbite it is much more serious than a case of the shivers. Alcohol, though it creates the illusion of warmth, actually increases heat loss by dilating the blood vessels near the skin.
