that's a great idea. i am a police officer and occasional ride with our bike unit. it is amazing what you can do on a bike with a little practice and training. we pack alot of gear on our person and on the bike while on patrol. i think i might just have to get the camo tape and spray paint for mine, turkey season just a few weeks away.

I've used a deer cart to pull extra gear to a camp but I've never actually thought about using a bike to pull it. It's probably a good idea but it would seem kind of a rough way to pull a deer out of the woods.

I'm not really talking about a deer cart to get an animal out or a bike to get the animal out. I'll deal with that when the time comes...hopefully. I'm just talking about getting myself and my gear back into the woods a good mile where I need to hunt and getting back there in as little time as possible and as quiet as possible. I just thought a mt. bike would be killer seeing as there are nice grassy mowed(actually fire lanes) to where I need to go. It's just back in the timber a fair way.

Thanks

His real observation of another's failure was useful to me, as was your question. I tried a bike last season to no real advantage becaues of too much gear. I had thought of using a trailer next time but will now think again. Thanks MO.

Here's a good article on hunting with mountain bikes you might find interesting:

I don't but i know bowhunters that do from my hunt area they leave very early in the morning packing sleeping bags and what not ,,they're back in there,,way back in there for the long haul.. every year. we can see they're tire tracks going back in.

Ummmm, something like what your doing [&:]

I ride my mountain bike around my lease from time to time and am always surprised how much closer I can get to game than if I was on foot. This is on soft east Texas dirt roads BTW.
