I'm an avid upland/waterfowl hunter. Will mostly use the TW for scouting upland (unless I can figure out a way to pack my birddog around on it) and for getting to out of the way spots for jump shooting ducks. Same for getting to out of the way spots for fishing. The bikes will live at our "Sportsmans Compound" in the Owens Valley.

Would love to see how you've rigged your bikes for such adventures...

You gotta see Ronnydog's deer-in-his-crack pic.

My two most mission-critical items:

OK...I'm a gonna need to know how you mounted that. Looks like a scoped rifle case..I'll need a shotgun case.

Pretty cool.

I can tell my rear racks are gonna be to small, but need to wait til the wife settles down before I get a couple cycle racks.

That's one of the early Kolpins, before they went to the stupid knob mount thing. It has` a row of bolt holes in various locations so it can be mounted permanently to a vehicle. The mount itself is angle steel that uses the triple tree bolts, and the Kolpin is bolted to that.



It works great in the dirt, but it tends to act like a windvane at freeway speeds out on the slab.

What do you guys hunt out in the desert? Antelope, coyote?

I've been looking for that photo but I cant find it.

My shotgun fits fine.

I just sling a rifle or shotgun over a shoulder and ride. That's something I wouldn't do if there were low hanging branches and such.

My shotgun fits fine.

Can you give the particulars of how that's mounted...thinking a cycleracks rear rack may give more options to mounting a shotgun.

This pic convinced me to buy my first TW, thus ruining my life.

Kewl...assuming he flung an arrow at it seeing how it's got the fuzz thing goin on. Not a bad deer if it's in southern Ca.

He was lost in the wilderness at the time. Used up all his arrows firing 3-shot volleys just like he read in Field and Stream.



The deer saw it all and laughed himself to death.

Arrowed Utah Buck. He's sleeping shshshshshs!

Sooo much easier to carry a limit of quail or ducks...congrats on the nice deer, though.

SiS,

Not a hunter but love fishing and have fished the Owens River from below Tinemaha Reservoir all the way up to Benton for many years. Mostly fishing out of the Bishop area, Pleasant Valley Reservoir and the Owens below. Where abouts in the valley is your "Sportsmans Compound" located?

 

[STEVE IN SOCAL]

It's in Independence...

Bought the mobile home in "07. About 20 months ago bought the 3br/2ba home you see behind the dog kennels in 2nd pic...

Pretty much gutted the house, so mostly new inside.Starting on the outside this spring.

When we first bought it, pre-remodel...
