you have the right ethics and sadly not all ppl are the same I live in North Idaho & grew up in North Calif [rode motorbikes there] horses tear up a trail more than a bike will. [can] (is capable of) But! not everyone rides that bike the same [sad] I used to ride with others, Buut their idea of fun was to throw mud behind them & rock you in the face while you ride behind them [thats just stupid behavior, but they wont learn, So I ride alone] recently on ebike and "if" you ride right it will do no harm. my 4 wheeler does less harm, Buut not everyone rides these right either. [sad] I ride alone as I like to "see" the wildlife NOT scare them! I want to ride there again & again & see ive no damage [other than bent grass] done by me. I go low n slow, I want to explore not wreck the area. Im in North Idaho and our roads n trials are now used for hunting - so the rest of the year I ride them. the logging trucks are on other jobs [at this time] I ride the reservation land & Idaho land without being bothered by the "watchers" those type are looking for trouble makers [abusers] I ride by or up to them and often chat with them, my aim is to show myself Not to be a threat. they know where I live & we know where the trouble makers live. here we can still ride responsibly and not be bothered nor are we a bother to others. the Golden rule: treat others as you would like to be treated really!?! would you spinout & throw mud on your grandma!?!

Here in West Virginia we have a couple WMA properties close to me. I talked with a game warden about riding my e bike on it and he told me no. I really don't understand why not. You can take any vehicle that is licensed on the property but no ATV's or side by sides or now that I ask no bike with an electric motor on it. You can take a regular mountain bike on it though. But we must obey the laws weather we like it or not. There are no side trails. It's just a drive road from where they reclaimed a coal strip mine that worked out. I'm just glad I have other trails I can use it on.

it’s a shame because you can run these on low speed which would make it safe for use but after speaking to the Dnr in Michigan, their explanation for the no-E bikes rule is they tear up terrain and have a negative impact on the land and wildlife -thanks so much for sharing!

thank you for the warning and taking the time to comment. I’ve used a bow mount for nearly 10 years now, i’m in my 3rd mount. So far haven’t laid it 🤞🏻down( probably cuz i ride slowly) and in order to get off my bike, I carefully lay it down sideways (cuz I can’t swing my leg over my pack on the back) but -your rifle should be able to absorb bounces, as well as recoil it helps me to ride off the seat when going over rough terrain.

I guess I am not really understanding. Are you saying that ebikes are not allowed anywhere on public lands or just off of approved atv or bike trails on public land (ie WMAs Wildlife refuges and such) ? I think if I were setup hunting in the woods well off a trail and an ebike or an atv or a regular bike passed near my stand I would be upset too. The gamble with hunting public land is you might see other hunters while on stand but having a bike or atv off an approved trail is a no go.
@bobbysbucks4 ай бұрын
Worst part is E bike companies are advertising there own lists of states that allow them that aren’t accurate. There’s folks out there selling E bikes saying you you can take them anywhere but unfortunately, in Michigan and several other states, E bikes are not allowed on public hunting grounds. I’m a hunter who hunts strictly public hunting so this was very disappointing. You can (and always have been able to) use a manual pedal bike. Quads and E bikes are only allowed on ATV trails. You can use them on private and some hunter access programs and that’s about it. I wanted to upload this video to help prevent folks from making an expensive mistake.

Im with you on that. I like to ride, buut when I hunt from a stand or a hide. Id prefer not to see a guy park his ebike & chain it to the tree im in [seen it done] I ride ebike & a few other rigs. I park them by the road or established trail & walk in by foot. [ssh] BEFORE season opens I scout on my bike & pack in my stand & the tools to put it up. but a few weeks before season opens so I dont spook the game nor annoy other hunters, yup public lands, well ALL lands should be respected & the golden rule ALWAYS applies! gee I hate to hear 4 wheelers [I still got one tho] the noise they make can travel for miles. had a guy park his 4 wheeler in front of my hide and he walked away, hunting {I was in it at the time} it blocked me view, So I came out - and rolled it far away, then back in my hide. saw several deer n other critters [none I wanted] later the hunter came back looking for his wheeler {I stayed put and silently chuckled as he searched} now that was fun to watch from my unobstructed view :) Oh his wheeler was back on the trail and was gone when I walked out. I call that a "teachable moment" ;)

Always be cautious before squeezing any trigger. I assume you’re referring to hunters that would mistake you for a moving deer? E bikes aren’t legal on public hunting ground in Michigan. But Bicycles have always been legal to use on public land in Michigan but You must wear blaze orange during firearm season. Surprisingly there’s still hunters that don’t or wear very little and for those that don’t are really underestimating the risks. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gamUn6-m0627oYE.htmlfeature=shared

Great job Bobby. I've experienced similar situations in one manner or the other after 40 years of state/Public land hunting in our wonderful state of Michigan. In fact I almost walked thru on a Hunter this last Thursday afternoon. I was using a sliver of public land that borders private and a river. I only use it to get to the shallow part so I can cross in to the state land on the other side of the river. He was in a climber on the back of the private land. I hear a twig snap up in a tree, and hear the faintest "hey!" I dropped my head turned and whispered "sorry".but he said "dude hold up, I'm only going to be back here until the end of October, are you trying to get to the state land around the corner where this property and state and the river all meet? To which I replied yeah. Not mentioning that I actually cross the river where a 41/2 yr old 10 point lives in the thick nasty bryers halfway up a 200 ft hill that's land locked by private land that's owned by...you guessed it 70 yr old Hippies! I wish all encounters could be that way. Good luck out there this season. Oh and My dad lives near Midland too. Lol
