 Mountain bikes are awesome, just get used to riding long before your hunt or you could be in some pain the next morning :o

Flinger- It looks like JPhelps zip tied some type of strong netting to the frame of his. My initial thought would be to create a web using some sort of nylon 1/4"-1/2" wide material but zip tying netting to the frame would probably be easier, lighter and just as durable.

I've been looking at the Burley flat bed for some time now. I'll probably pull the trigger on it before season starts.

Flinger, I like what you did with that cart...I have the same one.  Think I will steal your idea. I know of a few spots I would love to take my bike up to.

Cheers~ :tup:

Im not keen on using handle bar gun mounts. Has anyone built or found a decent scabard to mount on their bike?

Don't listen to these guys, biking in sucks and there is no advantage to it.  Better of road hunting.  Whatever you do do not get into biking or hunting at all. If you must hunt then go modern rifle hunting, set up a huge camp, drink lots of alcohol and don't waste your time! Common people don't fill his mind with fools gold ;)

The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Right on! Im really looking forward to trying this out, esp now since the DP doesnt apply to people riding bikes on state/dnr land. Go figure eh.
