Hunting Bikes

[paulke6]

Hey guys I have been looking a hunting bike for some draw hunts that I got lucky enough to get drawn for. Question is what make the some of the 2-3 K hunting bikes worth it. I mean can I get the same performance out of one of these bikes for $200

Most of the cost in a good quality bike are the components. Sure the WalMart bike might work for a trip or two, but it will eventually crater. Like Chief said...Craigslist!!!! But do your self a favor and get educated on what are good components and what are crap.

You can pay $2,000 or $200, but the performance will not be the same. Weight and quality of components will be the major differences. I know someone who has that mongoose and it is a pos. It will 100% break on you. The only question is will you next to your truck or 20 miles away.

My mongoose has lasted 7 years!!!!! But only use on the lake that the most I need to drive back in 1.5 miles...my brother is a pro mountain biker he has bikes that cost over 4 grand, I'm only a pro hunter so I use what I have.

And hell no to that big tire bike on your post....get a regular cheap 350 dollar 15 speed mountain bike off craigslist. Put slime tubes on it, build u a trailer cart for it and be done...

Really want a fat tire bike. I think that would be great on gravel or off road.

My place in Wisconsin has a lot of hills. I have thought about getting an electric bike to make it a little easier and quieter to get to the stand. Guess I would need one of these.

For now I guess I will just walk.

Look at Bikes Direct online. The have bikes from expensive to cheap. Plus most of their bikes can be upgraded as needed. I love my fat bike for off road riding.
