Liners, slime tires. Still daily flats on horse island. One day front and back flat. There is more thorny bushes on edge of road. When they bush hog road, sling thorns everywhere. I tried to ride only on dirt, still got flats. It rained, misted and it gummed my bike up, had to go car wash and spray mud out of gears, shifter parts.

Now see this is why I'm considering not using a bike. How much time is lost maintaining tires vs hoofing around?

The 30th is the next hunt

Were you the guy with the 4wheeler, that’s an added advantage. We used your sawzall on ours at the cleaning rack. Definitely the way to go. Thanks again and Good meeting you.

That being said, every year I debate it and even went to look at bikes at Walmart yesterday lol. I also have to add that there are a couple roads of rock and pavement or both that are never affected by the weather if you choose to limit yourself to that area.

Yes, that was me and I remember that 1st evening. That was my buddies sawzall and it was almost as helpful as the 4 wheeler. Bringing 3 nilgai out of the refuge when your truck is several miles away is a killer. That said, I hit my wall the next morning around 9:30 after bringing the next round of nilgai out.

I thought about those as well.
