Title: Free Elk Rides
Post by: WapitiTalk1 on February 13, 2015, 07:53:10 PM: Didn't put this on the other thread cuz I had already purchased it. Finally was able to make it down south to pick up the new MT bike game cart. It's a bit heavier than the Hawkeye Bilt cart I borrowed last fall (thanks Slim) but IMO, this one is potentially better suited for the task at hand. Protected/covered wheels, slats in the floor vs cargo mesh, long tongue, and a very well built hitch to name a few items that I really like about this one. I'm gonna strengthen up the sleeve that clamps to the seat post with bolts/nuts/lockwashers vs the threaded bolts that came with it (don't like the idea of anything coming loose way back in there). The swivel hitch design on this one is very good and similar to the Hawkeye, allows one to lay your bike down with the cart staying upright, and, if the cart decides to "tip", you and the bike don't tip with it. Gonna do my very best to give a big fat Roosey a ride in it come September during my WA hunt.

Post by: WapitiTalk1 on March 09, 2015, 02:57:19 PM: Just talked to Kelly. He has one assembled cart left, and, will be taking orders for carts to be built. IMO, there is nothing on the market like these things folks.
