Shw me your Mountain bike
« on: September 25, 2016, 09:43:09 AM »
I bought a Mountain bike for scouting/hunting behind the gates and it really lets you cover some serious ground compared to walking. I haven't customized at all yet, first off I need to add a gun rack. I was hoping some of you could just post some pics of your mods that help you carry your gear and gun when going in. It's a bit cumbersome peddling with a pack and a rifle so I'm curious to see your solutions.

 I learned the hard way that a gun mount on the handle bars don't help if you crash!
If you want my rifle mounts you can have them mine stays on my back . I have a light on my bars and fenders other then that its my trailer with my goods in it

Anyone running panniers instead of a trailer?

Rifle goes across my back. Pack goes in the trailer. I do have gun racks on the handlebars but the only gun I'll carry that way is a cheap single shot shotgun for grouse.

Havent done a whole lot of research but had the same idea.  The one I had looked at had a max load of like 25lbs, so not very helpful.  I was looking at cargo trailers and they did 80, Im guessing game carts do more.

Those carts look awesome I was just going to pack it out on a pack frame on my back and make a couple trips but those carts look like the cat's meow.  :tup:

Get a game cart. The only way to go. We've drug them through some nasty stuff and they hold up well and do wonders for getting game out. I like the attachments for the bike. I'm stealing that idea.
