Brief Answer:
Might not be a good option...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Many a times the doctors prescription immuosupressant medications after a stem cell transplant; especially if the stem cells was from a second person. Immuosuppressant drugs reduce body resistance and risks you to new infections. Therefore wandering in forest and hunting animals in the wild increase risks of infections which is unwarranted.

Hence I wouldn't recommend hunting after steam cell transplantation.

Hope this answered your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.
