Anyone else hunting with an E-Bike this year?

Well... No ebike for me, I just re-read the rules for one of the main places I hunt, bicycles of all types are actually restricted (even though I've seen bikes and bike tracks in there) so I guess that makes the decision easy for me.
 
I hope that guy is shooting stone points from a self bow, with a handmade sinew string....


Otherwise stfu.

Does this happen to be in a “Designated Wilderness”?

I have noticed of recently land designation effects usage codes. I’ve also been led to believe the places that e-bikes will not be allowed are being posted first. It’s going to be a process but not to terribly long. Is my understanding
 
Its hilarious to me. The mountain bikers here are mad about the ebikes. I wish I filmed this public meeting on it. I was mad and embarrassed all at the same time. E bikes will be allowed. They are the future. Dont worry be happy

Oh if you think they are mad in a meeting try to ride one near them. I was on a gravel road for cars they would use and I finally had to basically threaten one because he was cussing in front of my 7 year old little girl at us.

Not in that case, no. I think the bike rule has always been there, I had made an assumption based on seeing them/tracks, but corrected that assumption when I re-read the rules after getting my license and various access permits
 
Thought I’d update a little. They are actively marking trails with signs that let you know if you can or can not use a road or area. I would not expect to see mountain bike trails open to e-bikes. As of now. After looking and riding today. Roads maintained for vehicle traffic even behind gates are legal in my area but not all. Look for a bike with a plug on the back. So one road I was interested in I can actually use was very happy about that. Just up to the area managers on what is to be allowed. I will say this. The mountain bikers I encountered today were cool. I also know that how I ride in comparison to how they ride. I do not want to share that trail. I’d get run over
