🦌🍂 A CHIROPRACTOR’S GUIDE TO SURVIVING DEER SEASON 🦌
Because the only thing that should be stiff this hunting season is the competition. 😂
1. DRAG THE DEER, NOT YOUR SPINE. 🦌
❌ DON’T: Bend over, twist sideways, and attempt to drag a 200-pound buck uphill like you’re auditioning for the World’s Strongest Man.
✅ DO: Keep your back in a neutral position, use your legs, avoid twisting, and use a deer cart, sled, or your hunting buddy.
2. YOUR NECK IS NOT AN OWL’S. 🦉
❌ DON’T: Sit in the stand for six hours with your head cranked 90 degrees, looking for that monster buck.
✅ DO: Gently stretch your neck, roll your shoulders, and turn your whole body instead of repeatedly twisting your neck.
That 12-point buck isn’t worth three days of looking like you slept in a pretzel.
3. ZEBRA CAKES ARE NOT A FOOD GROUP. 🦓
❌ DON’T: Survive on four Zebra Cakes, two Slim Jims, a Mountain Dew, and pure adrenaline.
✅ DO: Pack some protein, drink water, and bring snacks that will actually keep you fueled.
We’re not saying you can’t eat the Zebra Cakes. We’re saying your chiropractor knows that wasn’t breakfast AND lunch. 😂
4. YOUR DEER STAND IS NOT A RECLINER. 🌲
❌ DON’T: Sit completely still for five hours and then jump up like you’re 18 when you hear something walking.
✅ DO: Move your ankles, gently stretch your legs when it’s safe, and change positions occasionally.
Your knees shouldn’t sound like someone stepping on every stick in the woods.
5. THAT BUCK IS NOT WORTH THROWING YOUR BACK OUT. 💪
❌ DON’T: Try to toss your deer into the truck bed by yourself because “I’ve done it a hundred times.”
✅ DO: Use a ramp, winch, or a buddy to help lift safely.
The only thing worse than missing the big one is getting the big one and needing someone to carry YOU out of the woods.
6. DON’T FORGET YOUR CHIROPRACTOR. 👐
If your neck is stiff, your lower back is screaming, or your shoulders feel like you’ve been wrestling a grizzly bear, come see us!
We’d rather help you stay comfortable and moving well all season than have you hobbling into the office Monday morning telling us, “Doc, I don’t know what I did.” 😂
🦌 HAPPY ALTERNATIVE GUN SEASON, Y’ALL!
May your aim be steady, your freezer be full, your Zebra Cakes be plentiful (in moderation 😉), and your back survive the trip out of the woods!
Good luck, hunters! Stay safe out there! 🌲🍂
P.S. If you get the big one, we absolutely expect pictures. If you throw your back out dragging it, we expect the whole story. 😂
