building a hunting bike; I have a standard deer cart.. Looking for ideas on how to attach to back of the bike..
 
Just make sure your rear rack has a load capacity that can handle a loaded cart. A lot of those racks are only made to handle like 35 lbs, I'd hate for you to be out pulling a deer and have the rack stays crumple. If you can bolt a piece of conduit to the side of the cart handle, and bolt the spring to the end of it, this is a cheap axle mount solution that could work https://www.amazon.com/Trailer-Coup...IYOJ3dHGz0NotVyaB8_utsZO8ry2DK_0aAggbEALw_wcB

I wish i could use something like this. its always muddy and wet in the fall here in MI. setup looks good
 
As welda said, you can potentially cause the front tire to lift up off the ground. It's really easy to lose control
 
Update on cart connection; I took the recommendations above. This is what I ended up with. Cart is the standard deer cart from academy. Hitch connection, recommend from above on eBay. 3/4 conduit to make the connection.
