bicycle as transportation while hunting?

You could also get a bicyle built for two and have the stoker ride shotgun.:D

Actually, I think I'd crap myself if I ever had that tandem suddenly roll out of a thicket opening & on by me.:eek:

Thats what I was thinking...sounds a little hard to do both, espically if you have a longer gun.

I've tried it wearing a good belt and a gun holster, it it worked rather well, but I'm open to other information.

I've used a sling carrying barrel down. I'm making a strap attachment from the straps of a retired knapsack to attach to the pistol grip and foreend to carry barrel down.
 
weve used a mountain bike to hunt moose for years the moose have no clue when you ride up to them/ dont forget if a moose thinks your one of them so will other hunters /its amazing how much a person on a bike with a gun on his shoulders looks like an animal. Wear a safty vest.
 
A canoe is a vehicle and and you can carry a loaded firearm in it? I guess I could check with the MNR.

I ran this one buy a local CO. He said that a canoe is considered a vessel under the law where a bike is considered a vehicle. They are treated differently under the law he said. You can have a loaded gun in a vessel without a motor attached. But can you have a loaded gun on a vehicle without a motor attached? He said you can not - but I'm still wondering. A bike to most would not be considered a "motorized" vehicle. But I have seen it argued by a Thunder Bay area CO that a bike under human power is in fact a "motorized" vehicle - !!! ??? - http://fishingboard.thunderbayfishing.com/index.php?showtopic=17

By you pedaling your bike it becomes a motorized vehicle,just like your truck,car or boat.Look for vehicle under definitions in the hunting regulations.

So the whole loaded or unloaded thing hinges on that distinction too I believe (?).

Also we all know we have to get off our quads to load, stand clear, and then legally shoot a grouse. But can we load and shoot while straddling our bike? You may be charged it would seem to me in Ontario. A quiet side stand for your bike may be needed.

For decades various COs told me when I asked that I could be charged for using a pellet pistol on Grouse. You can't handgun hunt here. I asked a CO again at a gun show just a few years ago and once again I was told the same. Then I pointed out the phrase that now appears in the summary in my hand that pellet pistols can be used. He said he had never seen that before. This was about three years ago. For several decades I refrained from the practice because I wanted to be lawful in my hunting. I wonder if I got screwed over by their false information - or if the law was actually recently changed to permit that practice. Though COs will happily charge you with a game violation - even a somewhat obscure one, IMO they can not be trusted implicitly to always represent accurately or fully enough some points of the law they zealously uphold. That's from my experience in life here in Ontario trying to stay on the right side of the law when hunting.
