Mountain bike for hunting.
.
We used them in B.C. The logging companies would put in access haul roads to get to new areas. They would then drop the ripper on the dozer and chew up about a mile of road from the main road. Then they would leave them a year or two to "settle".
If you could get past the mile of scarified road, you often had up to 20 miles of good hunting or fishing. Getting the meat out was the problem ---you have no real idea of what an Elk weights until you try to move a dead one.
Sometimes you could find a parallel road on the map that came close to the one you wanted to hunt on. We made up some little "Boonie bikes" that had a 5 hp. gas engine, and fat tires. We would then start at a place that was fairly close to the road we wanted, go about 200 feet into the bush, and then start to brush a trail to the hunting area. Of course, we walked in first, chose the easiest routes, and marked them before cutting a trail.
This trail brushing was done well before hunting season, so when the time came, we unloaded the bikes, pushed them to the start of our trail, and then rode in. It was a lot easier getting the meat out, too.
