When you do go behind lock gates you need to make sure you are legally able to do so. A lot of the private timber companies are now requiring a permit for ANY access...

Gates are lock for a reason if the gate is locked it used to mean no entry regardless of whether you are walking riding a bike or a horse MY feelings are IF THE GATE IS LOCKED EVERYBODY KEEP THE HELL OUT.You can't be serious :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Wrong.
I ride in about 4 miles, lock the bike to a tree for 8 days off the side of the road, and walk another 2-3 miles. Am yet to come across another hunter in the valleys I hunt, but sometimes I'll find someone on a ridge top. Same expression every time "I'm not going down in there " lol. That's when I say "Perfect, good luck"

If it specifically mentions I can't go in even on foot, then I'll stay out.

The piece I use is a Longview Timber property. They have it posted at the gate (no motor vehicles, overnight camping, shooting,etc) It does say hunting is welcome during regulated seasons.
I also modified a bicycle "kid hauler" into a "game hauler" :tup:

I love hitting the gated roads. At first I started out on foot, then after realizing how much ground I could cover, I started biking in. Ive only ran into one group so far, and it seems they had keys to the gate :bash: must be loggers or something :dunno:

Cool picts!
Too bad Longview Timber just got bought out by Big W. Bike-n-Bear access might not be "free" next year....

Please keep in mind...I'm just yanking a chain here. Pretty bear, good set up, and I'd pop him if given the chance as well.

I just started riding my bike behind gates this spring scouting for turkeys. Love it!! I can cover 2-4x the ground in the time it takes to hike. And if a hill is too steep you simply walk the bike up the hill. Its not as tiring as hiking either if you are in decent shape. :tup:
It's all fun and games until you're 10 miles back and lose a chain or get a flat. Make sure you're prepared.

I wish there were places you could get 10 miles from a gate, but I'm not aware of any. :dunno:I just started riding my bike behind gates this spring scouting for turkeys. Love it!!

Definitely is a great way to hunt non motorized areas.I've bike in that fish and forest land between Littlerock and Rochester.Its the old Mumby dump and Cambell forestry land I want to say.Lots of big swamps and creeks up in there with prime deer,bear,coyote,and even cougar sign. Not to many people hunt it because Capitol and lower Chehalis and Harris block are a stones throw away and you can drive in those.In that area if you have a bike its definitely the better spot to bow hunt if you are in shape.
That area was mobbed in modern deer a few years ago. And lots of quad trails coming in the back from surrounding private property. Lots of nocturnal deer though.

But I never feel like their presence lowers my chances or anything. Bikes are quiet, and you're not likely to see a bull riding the roads anyway; just cows. We just use the bikes to get in there, and leave em on the side of road to hunt an area…

Old school-just slung it around my back!:yeah: thats the safest place for it, guys buy those handle bar gun racks but they vibrate and if you wipe out you have no chance of protecting your rifle or whatever, a bow might be more difficult...metlhead that was a cool story, i have one kinda simular, trophyhunt and i were scoutn this place and he bugled a bull right into the same bush we were hiding in, it was kick ass man, i also had a black bear say 250 on the paw sniffing my boot, he was so close when he looked up at me i could see the moisture inside his nostrils, that was a friggin rush dude....
