Hunting and disease and hunter survival tips

May 15th, 2010

There are many possibilities for hunters to get sick. Many critics consider these aspects to be nature’s defense mechanisms towards human interference. Whatever the case may be, care must be taken when outdoors to avoid these hunting and disease problems.

Just a little poison Ivy or Poison oak is more than enough. While this article is about disease you may get I don’t think that dangerous plants can go unmentioned. Know what you are walking in and how to recognize dangerous plants in the area you plan on hunting.

Hunter survival tips will help you when you need help. Sometimes it’s easy to lose your way in an unfamiliar wood. Carrying a compass and maps of the general area that you will be hunting in can help in the event that you get lost.

Carry a flashlight with extra batteries in case you get caught out after dark. There are also flashlights on the market now that operate by just a shake, eliminating the need for batteries.

Matches in a waterproof case are essential and a sharp knife is good to have as well. A traditional Bowie or a Swiss Army knife both serves the purpose.

Hernandez is part of the pilot program in just Havana for now, but officials say it could be rolled out to the rest of the island, where 11-12 is currently the youngest level of competition.
