I use a bike to get in to a place for turkey hunting. I used to bow hunt deer in there, and when I did, I made a rack out of a toddler bike carrier. I took the plastic part off that the kid sat in and used the frame. Then I cut out a piece of plywood and bolted it on. Strapped my climber on and away I went.
When I got a deer, I would put the chest cavity over the sear, strap the head and front legs to the handlebars and walk out. Hope this helps. Some guys make a little cart to pull along. But this has worked well for me.

I use to use them a lot in Fl. on public land with no vehicle access. I hunted about every day and left them in the woods a lot. I would be lucky to get two yrs out of one. I would just get the cheapest Walmart bike and order a good shock absorber seat and switch from bike to bike. They make a good game cart. I would walk along beside it and keep it straight up..never tried sitting on top and riding out. Hardest part is standing the bike and game up after you get it tied down. Almost didn't make it with that big sow.
