Thread: Motorbike hunting setups

Depending on the difficulty in riding to get where you are going, attaching the pack to the bike makes for less control over the bike. You really need to be able to get the arse of the pack to rest on the bike seat.

We used to bring animals out whole on the bike. Take the rear legs off at the hock, put short ropes through the hocks and pull down onto the engine bash plate. Lie the animal over the tank and handlebars. Use a long length of bungy to criss cross from handle bar to handlebar to stabilise the animal, but still permit you to steer bike.
Basic tools and tyre repair were stored under the rear carrier in a built in plastic tray. Having a small bike pump is really useful if it rains and you need to change tyre pressures when out the back to get up and down steep slippery slopes.

I took it out for its first trip a couple of weekends ago and managed to bag a hind, i just tied it onto the rear rack was a rather uncomfortable trip out because i had to sit quite away forward and my pack was sitting up on the deer. I would normally bone them out on the hill it was only because i got it a few hundred meters from the bike i decided to take the lot.
