Which is better....### or hunting?

When you go hunting your body produces adrenaline (raises the heart rate) when you have ### your body produces endorphins ( lowers the heart rate).
If you are actually enjoying hunting more than ###, there might be the possibility you aren't doing it quite right (the ### part that is, as if you are coming home with deer all the time. Its obvious you've got the hunting down pat).
IMHO they're both fun! enjoy.
 
I prefer the approach of having your cake and eating it too when discussing the question posed by the OP. Having said they both rate highly on my scale of pleasurable experiences but have to say the blood pressure goes through the roof when a covey explodes in front of me. Also, even after 35 years, my heart rate picks up when the better half enters the room. I will get back to you after further experimentation.
 
I once read a study that hooked up heart rate monitors on deer hunters in the woods.

The researchers were amazed at the readings that resulted from a stationary hunter who had a normal heart rate, to the readings recorded that immediately followed seeing a deer.

The heart activity after seeing a deer was compared to someone who had just run a mile as fast as they could.

Hunters know this phenomenon as "buck fever".

They used the results of the study to caution sedentary hunters to get out and do some exercise 6-8 weeks before the hunt, to condition their bodies a little to avoid heart attacks and stoke!
 
Frick'in grouse is all it takes to git me c'ited.
And you should of seen the two furs yesterday........pumped for sure.
I agree, at my age, foooock the ###, pulling the trigger has more better outcomes.....
so to speak.
And the shooting stops when the ammo runs out too.
 
P.S - there ain't nothing happenin' the week I'm packing for a hunt... NOR the week I'm gone on the hunt... NOR the MONTH following the hunt... OP... please PM! ;)
