It has been almost a year since I had mine last hunting season.. http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/10947135/1Do what your Doc says and you should be fine. A year out from mine still have not got all my strength back maybe never will? I would go with the smaller caliber for now if I was you. Good Luck ! I still have 4 more years to wait before I can get a Hunting Lic here to finally get to go hunting again! Been hunting 50 years total last year was the first time I did not get to hunt because of losing my hunting lic. God Bless AMRA

Have you changed to a heart healthy diet? That name is not just a catchy slogan. I am lucky in having a healthy heart at almost 70 but a had an internal carotid endarterectomy 3 years ago for a 90% blockage. A healthy diet, 4-6 hours /week of vigorous exercise and good regular sleep hours will extend both your duration and quality of life. The best investment I have ever made is a simple home gym. A good quality treadmill and elliptical, some kettlebells and free weights will suffice if you use it regularly. I retired in April and am really enjoying feeling good enough to do everything I want, albeit somewhat slowly. LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTOR, CARDIAC REHAB WORKS!! Good luck and have a great hunt when you are ready. mike r

That is pretty close to true. It is hard to admit that biscuits and gravy are not your friends.

AMRA, I remember your unfortunate story. I actually commented in that thread.

I'm home and I'm cleared to hunt in two weeks. Even mountains as long as I don't get out of breath. I'm not cleared to shoot 30-06, or even 270, and don't know when I will be either? .243 for the foreseeable future.

Thanks smokepole. Yes, my MD's exact words were, "no 270 or 30-06, but 5.56 and 243 are fine".

Been there - done that.
Quadruple bypass six years ago.
Recoil is not an issue IF your chest has healed up normally. This takes six weeks or more. You do not want to push that process as a sternum which has not knit properly is extremely irritating. I know this from experience.
The limiting factor from here on out will be your physical condition. I have been able to hike, climb, ski & hunt but I do it in a somewhat toned down manner.
Get in shape, stay in shape, keep the weight off & watch your diet. Fear of pushing your limits will result in a lack of critical exercise which in turn will increase your risk.
