[QUOTE="Buckrun, post: 10770, member: 51"] Where are you from? Must be out west in the mountains. To answer one of your questions, yes, there are people here that hunt, fish, and ride on two wheels. That "people" may be just me...I'm speaking for myself. I don't do 10 mile hauls with half an elk down a mountain though. We just don't have mountains and elk where I live, or I probably would! If it counts, I used a little kids plastic sled to tow a doe I pared out of the woods on an XR400 with about 6 inches of snow on the ground!:smirk: I do normally use an ATV for that chore...someone in camp was gone with it and all I had was the bike. When I was in my 20's and 30's, we went to Canada every year on a big "adventure trip". Spring trips for archery black bear and lakers, summer trips, usually in or around Algonquin Provincial Park, to fish and canoe.
