RE: MTN BIKE FOR HUNTING
I don't think it would work to well if you ride single tracks like I have around here. You would definately hang up on atree.Most of the state parks around herehave nohunting where the trails are. I sure see alot of deer though and get very close when I'm riding. I have thought the same thing more than once.

I WAS THINKING MORE ALONG THE LINES OF TO AND FROM YOUR STAND
SEEMS LIKE I WALK DOWN FIELD EDGES OR ACROSS FIELDS TO GET TO MY STAND ALL THE TIME.I DON'T THINK IT WOULD SPOOK THE GAME AS MUCH AS WALKING IN

We just use them to get closer and pull a cart made for bikes with some of the gear. The rest we carry as well.The bikes are great for cutting down on travel time in and out as well as not leaving a human foot print. Great for scouting.Don't be fooled though. They are not an easy way to fly.

I use a Specialized Rockhopper. I got a straight handle bar, and put the regular atv bowholder on front. I carry mytree stand on my back. And yes, they rae quieter than 4 wheelers, and even walkin, with no scent left behind. Be careful in the dark--they do make lights that mount on the front.
