It's quick and easy and the bonus is I stay out of site of other people. Observation stands will work but I like the mobile approach where I can quickly jump around from spot to spot. I usually pick a higher vantage point and glass long range from my bike. Nothing going on and I can quickly move to a better area. Works great for me and I can cover a much larger amount of ground. I do this all summer long as soon as antlers start to develop.


Do u ever use the bike during the season? If so how u set it up to get all your gear in.

Gun rack to hold my bow on the handlebars and stand/sticks on my back. Actually it's much easier than walking on good terrain and saves a bunch of time.

Gun rack :P good call why the heck I didn't think of that. Thanks Dewey. I located a large wma close to home that's bow only (Tx isn't exactly a bowhunting state) and it's only got one entrance no motorized vehicles allowed so this bike is gonna come in handy

These are the ones I use. They come with c-clamps to mount on handlebars.
