      Lost track of the thread a bit, but last time as was out at the property looking for hogs, I brought the bike to try to ride it abit (in hopes of drawing something this year from TPWD).

      Last I drew Hagerman and this was the setup (sans the bowholder) I used. @cashcropper, i made a video showing the hookup...its pretty simple...just a bike rack from Walmart, a gate clamp from Lowes and a pin from Harbor Freight...hooks up in seconds as you can see in the video....



      @warrington you are right...if you buy a set of pins from harbor freight, you can also use 2 of them to hold the cart open so isn't constantly springing open while riding...

          I like the bike, I keep going back and forth on rigging out a bike too… but the last couple times I tried to use the bike for scouting/hanging cameras on public land, I almost killed myself. Apparently, biking and hiking are two entirely different kinds of conditioning shape…

            HAHA...yeah, when we took off on stand hanging day, I had the same realization...

            I'm convinced the e-bike folks are missing out on some Type II fun...

                Has anyone had any issues with their bikes/gear messed with while on Hagerman?

                  Some folks lock them up, but I just pull mine off the road and ditch it in the woods when scouting...during the hunt, everyone was very respectful of other's stuff

                      I Turkey hunted Hag in 2019 via bike. Had no issues there leaving the bike on the side of the road while chasing birds.
