Colorado Doctors Prepare For Hunting Emergencies

DURANGO, Colo. (AP) - Emergency-room doctors in La Plata County are warning hunters about altitude sickness and heart attacks in Colorado's high mountains.

Doctors say they're on alert after hunting season opened Saturday.

According to the Durango Herald, doctors say heart attacks kill more hunters than stray bullets.
