    Looks pretty sweet, that would work well on a few public places round here.

    I think I'm going to for next year. The spot I want to go to on public land is a mile from where I park.

    I have a few times, but most of the areas I head to I can't get a bike into. I might need to get a fat tire though, cruising the lake is tough on the old Trek :tu:

    I have nearly a mile walk into one of my stands so I've thought about doing that. Not because of the distance of the walk but because I always thought biking in would leave less scent.

    Have seen some nice bike with cart rigs used for elk hunting. I'm keeping it as an option.for deer hunting a couple areas. Not just to cut down scent but cut transit time. Plus a cart to haul out game for longer distances would be great.

    A bicycle is a trespassing hunters best friend here in the suburbs. No car to attract attention as they sneak into wherever they want. A guy I know watched a trespassing hunter sneak right between his posted signs onto his property that way. He went and quickly found, and took, the bike, and left the guy a posted sign, with an invitation/dare to come by the house to get his bike back. The guy never showed!

    Perfect example of the effectiveness of a bike for hunting. Quiet and quick in the right terrain. To bad they are using it on posted land

    Sounds like a stealthy way to cover some ground quickly.

    Just posted about pedal assist bikes. I used one in Illinois this fall and was able to get deep onto the property quickly, quietly, not breaking a sweat, and left less scent than walking. I really liked it but the pedal assist bike is pretty spendy. Wondering if anyone else has tried one? Bow hunting seems to be able to take all the money you can dish out for new gadgets.
