Stan, I had an old Schwinn mountain bike that I used years ago in one of our woodcock spots except it was for turkeys. The road in places was a washout and no four wheel drive truck could get through. I'd have to carry the bike across the washout and pedal onward. I've also used the newer bike for silent and fast movement at Fort Stewart during spring turkey season. It's not easy carrying a turkey while pedaling a bike. I usually have to walk the bike with a turkey but it's welcome burden.
