Back in Va we used mtn bikes a lot. We even made a cart to pull behind them. The public ground there is a lot different than here. There are only one or two roads thru 100,000 plus acres and only a hiking trail or two. We would use the bikes to haul in our gear instead of walking in.
Several places that I hunted had a 3-4 hour hike in. So the bike came in handy. Getting away from other people is how I like to hunt. Sometimes we would even camp so we could haul everything on the carts.
We also carries roll up plastic sleds for dragging the deer out.
I would rather be tried by 12, than carried by 6.

Have you thought about how you'd get one out if you killed one? I have toyed with this idea myself...mainly because dirt bikes seem to be a little cheaper than 4 wheelers (obviously because they're not as "useful") and you can get them in places a 4 wheeler won't go. They make those heavy duty tarp things that are used to drag a deer without tearing up the hide. I've thought about fixing up a way to hook it to the back of a dirt bike and just dragging the thing out of the woods (at a relatively slow pace of course)

How far are you going to have to walk to get to deer who haven't been alerted of your arrival? Geezzzzz... I would not use a dirk bike unless I hunted a huge piece of property!!!!
Well, maybe if it's no louder than an ATV/UTV.

[quote=Remington270]At the risk of getting laughed at, I'll ask this. Anyone use a dirtbike for deer hunting? I don't even own one, but I've got a little lease over here the owner doesn't want trucks on, so the roads don't get messed up. I've thought about getting a cheap dirt bike.
I'm not laughing. I do it regularly here in Bama. Not having seen many bikes, the deer are less disturbed by it than a 4 wheeler = humanoids n death. Anyway, I use a Husqvarna 501 dual sport (on/off road) that is well muffled and not at all as loud as a MX bike. The maneuverability on trails and around/thru brush n trees is unmatched. I'll ride into an area to scout and do the last 200yds on foot - same with hunting. I'll drag a deer out with a rope to a 4 wheeler or truck accessible place, no worries. I like to hunt away from the road, trail guys and the maddening crowd and the dirty bike is perfect. Any 250 to 450 four stroke trail bike with a stock or forestry approved muffler - even less noisy- is workable. Hell, I've been know to ride in on my Ducati ADV streetbike with the rifle in a scabbard - take off from the Gump to the land and down the forest trail. I'm jonesing for an electric bike, which I've test driven, but I'm waiting for the price to come down some more - it's higher than a cat's back to date. I'll post up a pic or two soon.

anyone have any ideas (or seen it done) on a way to attach one of those 2-wheel game carts to the back of a dirt bike? I'd thought about trying to fashion up some homemade bracket that attached to the back wheel hub, where you could "hitch up" one of those game carts. Obviously you'd have to take it slow, but I gotta think you could rig it up with some redneck ingenuity...
