    Would be killer for many Western applications I just can't see using it that much for whitetail hunting when walks are usually a mile or less (usually just a few hundred yards for most folks).

    I just want to know about the rig used to carry the bow...is it bought or fabbed; and either way; how to go about getting one.
    I've been wanting to ride my Trek into one of my areas for years...just could not figure out how to really secure my gear.

    Ive been riding my bike into several areas for a few years. I dont have a fat bike yet but I can see where it would be useful. My Specialized will be head to CO with me this year. It's a lot eaiser to ride to where we Elk hunt than to walk.

    dnoodles, The scabbard for carrying the bow is a product from Cogburn and can be bought separately. You will need a rear rack also to attach the top end of the scabbard. The bottom end attaches to the bike frame. This rack is from Planet Bike.

    i tried using my mountain bike pulling one of those carts...the cart was a bad idea. lol

    also, uphill biking caused me to sweat like...uh...i dunno...something that sweats a lot. i dunno if i sweat more walking or riding the bike, but i know i shouldn't have used a pull cart.
