Silent IM glad you brought this up. one example is just plain helth reasons. but the other example would have to be this, if persay you were to FALL out of yoru tree (PURELY HYPOTHETICAL) and you hit the ground hard, a more physically fit person someone Who has been conditioned will MORE than likley have a better chance at getting help or avoiding more serious injury... now again im saying this with NO medical PROOF, but just common sence, i dont have any findings or writings that would BACK my babblings up, BUT i think that if say my best friend who isnt in BAD health but isnt in as good as shape as me where to get injured, or hurt during a hunt (ie fall out of his stand) i would more than likely be in much better shape or my injuries from that drop would possibly be less significant than his. I guess what im saying is not as much the HUNTING persay as it is the actually chance of injury. obviously coordination and age come into play but like i said i think a more physically fit person woudl sustain less serious injurys does that make more sence?
