That's what I did - left the turkey vest at home (pockets slappedoff my knees while pedaling) and stuffed a deke in a green backpack. Dress light and take a cable-lock for your bike. I just locked it to a tree and went up over the hill when I got a gobble. Still, hard to stuff a fat tom in a backpack. Feathers everywhere with legs sticking out the top. LOL Looked like "Ernest goes Hunting."
