Moose on a bicycle?

[gunnar_17]

I've guide and outfitted for moose in central BC for 20 years now and just recently finished my first ever bicycle assisted moose hunt in a motor vehicle closed area.
Was quite the experience a few lessons I learned.
The Sawtooth and Lite Outdoors stove are worth every dollar.
BOB Ibex trailers are the way to go.
Dont try to use a light duty bike when you are wearing a 100lbs pack and pulling 100lbs trailer =( major failure)
It was a great adventure with a great client.

Sounds like fun, how far did you have to bike. I’ve done a bike assisted caribou hunt but not a full moose hunt. I have used one to help move a spike out of the field during a motorized restriction. But I had originally been hunting on foot, only went back out because I got worried about meat spoilage. Curious did you do something to protect your rifle while riding. One trail we used had sand and it would spray up onto my rifle. I have since put a fender on it.

Sounds like an adventure. Congrats on a successful hunt!

it is hard to overload the bob, but you can overload the brakes of your bike!

Just finished my Montana moose hunt with my bike, no trailer. It was hard biking out with a quarter on my back but a 4.5 mile gradual down hill on the way out. Had to park my steed and hike the other 4 miles in to get the meat out. I've been nervous about the B.O.B trailers as they are only rated to 70lbs. I have been looking at the QuietKat trailer as they have told me it can carry more weight.
Not a huge moose but only 3 tags for that district and a 9ft shot with my longbow and a arrow I made this summer.

Awesome man. The BOB had no problems with 100lbs but the quiet cat looks pretty great.

2 quarters and the head. I have lots of trips like this. the bob can take it. 2 bobs whole elk out in one trip.

Adding a kickstand to the bob is the way to go. I paid $11 at a bike shop.
