Any of you guys useing a bicycle for covering a lot of ground while turkey hunting? I have not done it, but I'm thinking of trying it this year.

Yes I bought a cheap one from wally world and have used it for many years.

I use one all season long. I have ridden right under roosted gobblers and called them to me off of the roost. Quiet and stealthy.

Cheers

i tried it last yea a tallahala but it rained  an was muddy i was so tired i walked it back lol out of shape i used to ride for hours when i was a kid

what you have to do is only oil your chain every 6 inches so it squeaks in rythmic intervals like a hen turkey yelping. you'd be like the pied piper of turkey hunting

Too funny

I used to use one in college while in Stark vegas.
You better be in shape, though. A bicycle will purt a hurting on you like you have never seen!!! I couldnt believe how bad it hurt me and i am in pretty good shape. Get a big ole fat replacement seat, though. Those factory seats are for kid butts, not grown folk's butts.

yeah I start riding my way before season starts to avoid dying on one of my early morning rides...also, make sure that you have a light on the front of it. Nothing hurts your pride (and other things) worse than hitting a log in the dark

I like to use one sometimes. Just depends on where im hunting. Its pretty funny to ride out the woods on a bike with a turkey in your vest

 

[dosse]

Depends on where im hunting but i used to hunt a place in starkville where it was a life saver. Also lost some pounds that year, to much gobbling was goin on way back in there

 

[DUCK-HUNT]

Used one just about everytime I go, vicksburg is right about those seats. They aint made for a fat rear

 

[limhangr]

used one several years ago to hunt the canal section on the tenn-tom river. I'll give you one tip find a bike with a very very comfortable seat otherwise you will be miserable

I bet this one would be a cool hunting bike.

[kulikowski]

You can use a bike on a wma, right?

 

[3bailey3]

yes you can but not sure bout walk-in only roads. i hope someone can answer that one..

I tried it once at a WMA two years ago. Me and a buddy wanted to get way back in the woods off the road so we took off way before daylight. We covered alot of ground very quickly and made very little noise. It was impressive. Well we got to where we wanted to be and stashed our bikes in the edge of the woods. In the middle of our hunt we have a thunderstorm come through, but continued hunting because we were on the birds. Well as luck would have it, we were unsuccessful and decided to head back to the truck. The rain made the roads and woods so muddy you couldn't get anywhere fast on the bike. We got off and pushed the bikes all the way back to the truck. Oh and mud piled up on the back tire of both bikes until the tires wouldn't turn so we had to push and drag them back. It was a miserable day, but still better than working to me. As long as it's dry and no rain in forecast, you'll like it alot.

 

[olemossyhorns]

A warden told me you can use them on walk in roads. I never had a problem doing it.

i've used a bicycle the past 2 years and i love it.. i dont know how i ever managed without it.. i came back to camp one time and another guy that had been out hunting that morning was telling everyone that he saw a bike in the middle of the trail that wasnt there when he went in.. he was pretty freaked out about it.. we all got a good laugh out of it once i admitted i was the one sneaking around on a bike
