A lot of the butchers around here use those sea containers, they work well, just need to put a better door system on them. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

E-bike has to be on my list next year. So many of these spots I want to scout are like 1.5 to 2 miles before the scouting even begins. Would be nice to use the e-bike for a couple miles then focus on the boot scouting.
I got my first ebike back in the spring to use for hunting. A couple of things to consider if you get one. You will definitely want a bike with full suspension. I got one that only had front suspension and found out right away that it needs rear suspension, especially taking it off-road. I did add a suspension seat post later and that helped. Also you want to get something that has a lot of torque. I wouldn't buy anything that was less than 90 NM. That way you can use it to drag a deer out if needed. So more torque means a larger motor. Don't get anything less than 750w, more if you can afford it. Also another consideration is the battery size. Don't believe any of the estimates the companies put out, they simply aren't true. My battery is supposed to go 55 miles on a charge but it will only do 30-35 effectively. After the battery drops below 25-30% it will still work but won't get the speed or power of when it's fully charged. I would look for something that is at least 20AH. One last thing, don't worry about getting a bike that folds. That's what I thought I wanted so that I could transport it inside my vehicle or in a 50gal tote. But in reality, even though it's a smaller framed bike, it's too awkward to fold up and put away. I ended up just buying a hitch carrier for mine. That's been my experience. Maybe @LittleChief will chime in and give you some further pointers since he has alot more experience with ebikes than I do Sent from my SM-S916U1 using Tapatalk
Tomorrow I’ll be out for the first time. Loading the truck now good luck to everyone who is out and or going out today.
I got both loins and one shoulder trimmed,cut,bagged and in the freezer. Straps for dinner tonight so just the other shoulder and both hams to do. We have a huge fridg in the kitchen and a basement fridg as well. Took scraps and bones out to the "dump" pile. Zero zip nada thing out there they took everything even the hide. The gut pile, what gut pile? I believe they even licked up all the blood as well. P.S. that gave me just under 9#'s of meat...mind you I hate trimming shoulder. So that pretty good??
One other thing I might add. Personally I think it makes things easier to get a step-thru frame, what we used to call a girls bike. When you've got all those heavy hunting clothes on and maybe even carrying a pack, it's just easier getting on and off if you don't have to step over. Sent from my SM-S916U1 using Tapatalk
