Thread: Mountain bike, hunting, and Red Stag

I've done a few trips into one spot using my MTB to knock off the first 5 k's of 4WD track and stashing the bike in the bush while walking further in. Definitely saves some time and was welcome on the way out when the legs were shagged. With a pack full of meat, I found it easier standing on the pedals most of the way out rather than sitting down. That 4WD track has a fairly steady grade though, so there was a lot of coasting.

Don't forget to increase your tyre and rear shock pressure to compensate for the additional weight. I'm keeping my eye out for a single-wheel trailer, I reckon that would be much better than trying to carry it on your back.
