The annual November deer hunt in Michigan has been rocked by tragedy after several hunters died suddenly from heart attacks.
At least three deer hunters have been confirmed as dying of heart attacks during the current 16-day season.
According to the Associated Press, three men all dropped dead within 48 hours.
The deceased were considered to be “fit and healthy,” the AP noted.
Two of the men reportedly died suddenly while working to haul away the heavy animals.

Dr. William Morrone, the medical examiner for Bay, Midland, Tuscola, Arenac, and Iosco counties, expressed shock over the deaths.
“I’ve never seen three people die in 48 hours from heart attacks while deer hunting before,” Morrone said.
Those confirmed to have died from heart attacks were aged 57, 65, and 83, officials revealed.
The men died in Arenac and Tuscola counties.
The report from the AP suggests there may have been more deaths that have yet to be confirmed.
It comes as thousands of hunters hit the Michigan trail hunting deer.
The annual hunt started on November 15.
The deaths are the highest number ever recorded since the November deer hunt began in 1925.
