An e-fat bike would be awesome...I’ve used my front  shock mountain bike for a long time hunting. I wore my backcountry pack loaded last year, not the easiest but doable, full 68” longbow sticking diagonally across my pack...usually I use a take down. If the trails allow it difficulty wise, it’s my preferred method of travel. I rode single track for a long time so I’m experienced at mountain biking though, it won’t be up everyone’s alley, especially with a pack.

I have had this for awhile.  The company Cogburn closed up not long ago.  The biggest improvement is in the Fat tires.  Both Trek and Specialized have Aluminum frame Fat Bikes for 1500 bucks.  The other biggy  is the trend today in going to the single front chain ring.  Makes shifting much easier.  Of course the electric assist is the next option.  I have no experience with them but Im keeping my eyes open.  Thats in the future...

My question: how do you get a bigger animal out, on a bike, unless you quarter it up?

Electric bikes are becoming Big Business as for hunting most Federal and State lands these bikes are illegal. My understanding is there are three classes of bikes I II III. I know class 1 bikes 750 watts and under are being considered in PA no ruling from the Commission that I have heard of yet. Federal law and State laws seem to conflict with each other. Much more research and clarity needs to be done. It is all too confusing for most right now. E bike riders are unaware they are breaking the law.

They sell little two wheel carts that attach to the bike.

Same way walking...in pieces you feel confident biking with.  Or a trailer..whatever works

Here’s a pic from a previous thread of mine. It shows my setup pretty well. The trailer/cart folds up & is light weight. Simple quick pin attach to bike or use as hand cart...
