Hunting with a bicycle

[String Music]

I remember someone posting about this last spring. I think I will give it a go this year. I hunt in the mountains but have pretty level roads to bike on. Anybody else going to give it a try?

It works well, I haven't tried it here, but used it back home in Miss.

I have done it with success.

Be careful about riding in the early morning. You never know when a washout, log, etc. might be in your way and you not be able to see far enough ahead to react.

It sucks - did it once and never will again. Boot leather express is MUCH easier.

Ive done it and thought it works great especially on long distant hikes on public land

On WMA's it will probably wok well to get you away from the people.

I just out walk everyone. LOL Funny story. Was at LBL several years back and had just pulled into the area i was gonna start at. Just fixing too head out and this guy comes roaring in and says i heards some gobble here yesterday so i am gonna hunt here too. I said alright lets go. Never saw him again after the first 50 yards. LOL

If you've got decent logging roads to ride on and you have a long way to travel, it would probably be good. Sure wouldn't be any fun riding through the woods in the dark! I wouldn't want to do it though, because it seems to me you'd be moving too quickly. I bump enough birds sneaking slowly through the woods. In just the right situation though, I can see how it could be effective.

I bought me a fairly cheap dual-shock mountain bike two days ago. I'm going to weld a gun rack to the back. Should be interesting!

I have my rig all set up. I'll be testing my bike out tomorrow to see if I will be using it during the season. Hope it works!

I've seen it done, LBL is a great place to use one.

I been using a bike for many years now. Ocoee & Tellico have Forest Service roads everywhere but a lot of em are gated & locked. I'd always use my bike to ride in deep & get away from other folks. I remember getting out of Church 1 morning & took off to go hunting. I was hammering down riding that bike in & here came 2 old timers with there denim overalls & old singleshots walking back out. I stopped & said hello & asked em if they heard any turkeys, they didn't talk much & I got some purty strange looks from em. I said Good Luck & tore out again! Good Times, Good Times!!
