That's a great idea. Not making fun but, I see alot of homeless people carrying all their worldly belongings in them, why not a hunter. Chad do you think your Bugger is strong enough for a deer?

ha good luck riding your bike in a lot of places around here in the adirondacks. the adirondack park agency , will have your head . spots with great gravel road systems are off limits to bikes because of them . but you can use a horse on the same road you cant ride a bike because it is primitive . the last time i rode a horse, it did more damage to the ground with its hooves . than any bike tire will ever do . so needless to say i walk .

Jim, depending on the size of the deer a qualified maybe, but I'm sure there are other trailers out there that could.

I think it could probably handle a doe or a small buck and a quartered deer would be a piece of cake but a big, whole undressed deer would probably be a little too much for it.

Obviously you're not going to pedal a deer out of a steep draw or canyon like you could with an ATV but I've had some pretty hefty loads in my little bugger and as long as you can avoid soft sand and keep it in a low gear you'd be surprised by how much you can pull with your legs.

Just for reference, in the pic the trailer is holding a decoy bag with about a dozen standard size Texas-rigged dekes, a pair of Cabela's Supermag 1600 waders, a cased Remingtom 870 and my waterfowling backpack with my shells, calls, gloves, e-collar, etc.

Packing this stuff in on foot is certainly doable and in areas where the bike isn't practical I do, but man does the bike make it easy.

I used one in the national forest of western VA. Most of pretty much all the access points are at the bottom off the mountain so gettin up the mountain felt like work but its alot quicker than walking the whole way. Take the bike till the forest service road ends and then walk. Going home was the best part, all downhill just cruising. There where a couple of roads I wished they had closed to vehicles so I could use my bike and get even further past the crowds.

That is a great idea!

Two things come to mind:
First, stories my dad told me about some friends he had in the Riggins, ID area back in the '80s. For deer season they would ride their bikes up the mountain during the day, or have someone take them up in a truck, and then coast down the trails and roads. The bikes were quiet and the deer were not as afraid of them...so they would pop a meat deer. To get it out, they would field dress it, take the legs off at the hocs and knees and stuff the bike seat into the body cavity, tying the head to the handle bars and the legs to the frame. They would then ride the damn thing down the mountain to town-rediculous, but clever.

The other thing I thought of was the Patrick McManus childhood story about the time he shot a deer in the antler and tied it to his bike... I can't remember which book it was in, but it was one of his best stories for sure!

I was thinking about commenting how you should paint it in your favorite cammo pattern when FloridaHunter1226 made a valid point. It wouldn't be very fun to lose your bike out in the woods.

NOOO!!! not my secret duck-hunter-without-a-boat trick! You gave it away!!
