Bicycle Hunting

[CaptJack]

Wouldn't it be classified as a motorized vehicle if you added a motor?

I don't know ??

I haven't thought about that question since I was a kid mounting a Briggs edger motor on a bike to make a motor bike.

When the state of Texas was going to make us register them is when we quit building them (around 1966)

I've heard there's good opportunities for nilgai in public hunting areas, but if your that far in... must be hell to bring it out. I've heard of someone using a bike between two people to get it out, but surely someone who has done this would have pictures, right?

All I can say is that you'd earn the moniker "Super Dave" if you pull that one off!!! A friend of mine hunted Laguna Atacosta last year. The refuge personel told them at the safety meeting they would come help a hunter if they downed a Nilgai. I'd check to make sure but like CJ said, it's going to be a chore getting a cow much less a bull nilgai out of the woods on a Bicycle.

We don't put them cool looking winches on the headache racks for looks, they worth they're weight in GOLD when you got 300# of dead weight Nilgai to pull up into the bed. This pic has 625#'s of dressed nilgai in the bed.

ok nobody has done it yet, so i'll be your huckelberry!


Bike hunting? hmmm... havn't tried it yet...
are they easy to clean?
doesn't seem like they have much meat on them!
do they have a special season or can you hunt them year around?
how do they cook?
any good reciepes??

Never thought of that. In the right place, it looks like it`s a very viable idea.
Bad weather being the fly in the ointment here.

I may have to consider this as an option to walking. I have a nice trek mountain bike i recently purchased. I just need to get the add ons such as the bowholder, etc...

[ashx2]

Just curious, how much noise does is there w/the bowmounted racks? I was pretty impressed w/the silence of the bike going in this morning, but I only had a light pack on my back.

Also, what kind of contraption do you have for pulling a trailer type rig?

I just mounted a cross piece of square tubing on to the tail of a rear wheel shelf. Drilled a hole and put an eye bolt through. The cart has it's own eye bolt and I just Quick Link them together. The cart should be loaded properly where there is not much "tongue weight" to stress whatever you mount it to. The lower you mount it the more stable the bike will be.

Don't you always see a gun rack on a camo bike in tourist vacation pictures from Cali?

The late season rain and levee mud makes mine useless for duck hunting late season.
