I have been riding bikes in the state park where i live for 20+ years.Now it's time to utilize 2wheels for hunting the managed deer hunting areas within. This year will be my first time hunting public land and the goal is of course, a mature buck. Should be interesting! I have about 10hrs of scouting done on foot and I'm excited. So i just bought and assembled a$cheap$ fat bike that I will use for access . This bike isn't that bad and with a few upgrades, would be solid. Paint job is nice but this is a hunting bike so a camo paint mod and a rear rack is in order! Anybody else use pedal power for hunting access?

I am going to do a lot of hunting this year on bike. There is a huge section of public land swamp by my house. I just finished building an electric fat bike. I haven't had a chance to take it in the woods yet but I'm very excited.

We should be able to save a lot of time going to and from. Beat everybody lol
 
My best friend has two e-bikes one is a Quietkat and the other is a Radrover . He just bought the Radrover and told me he like to sell it to me when ever I am ready to buy it. It has the rack on the back and is hunt ready. He said why have two when he can only ride one. He told me to take my time and he would keep it for me.
 
I used a bike years ago to access a public land hunting area. I know longer hunt that property. Having a bike will definetly expand your hunting area
 
Heard that..My public land acreage is small compared to most others i see. I can't go miles away from other hunters because of the size, so i have to figure out where people don't go for whatever reason. Each property will be different. The bike will get me there quickly and the deer are used to bikes zipping thru lol

Pedal power is fun stuff. Well, until it’s up hill. Up hill is no fun............
 
I've been riding along time . A non fat tire bike will get it done but a fat tire will float over mud and snow very easily. So I figured it would work good in all terrains. It really works well in the snow.

I would imagine its like trying to pedal with flat tires compared to a regular mountain bike on a packed trail though? I don't know....never ridden a fat bike. Just trying to understand why a rider prefers an xc bike....not being a bike guy. simply weight?
 
The radrover has peddle assist which will make it nice going up hill or I can go all electric . It help when you have back and pelvic injuries .
