        I would love to know how some of you carry your strung bows on an ATV. The way the land is here makes things difficult alot of rolling hills and you never know whats going to be over the next one and we cover a many miles on one hunt so it’s a little much to carry you bow in your hand while driving. (but a have done this for many miles trying to get in front of a herd.)

            I carry my bow strung and ready to fling an arrow. But I do not hunt with a ATV. In fact I go where they cannot go on purpose. I want to avoid the crowds here that use them.

              John,I do a lot of hunting on a mountain bike.I tried the handle bar gun racks but they always seem to vibrate loose.(were talking bumpy logging roads).I found that having a daypack with molle compatible straps (mine is a elberlestock dagger)I can Velcro the bow to the pack and it rides high and comfortable.It also helps that I have a predator velocity riser that has cut outs in the riser, that enables me to loop the Velcro through.If I want it more secure, I can weave the molle webbing through the riser.

                Figured you would be using a dog team :shock:. Now that would be a great story for TBM.

                  Dog sleds are a hole nother topic that I could go on and on about but i will try and some it up. In the north the inuit are expected to have one foot in each world. If you work full time to feed your dogs you have no time to hunt. Or if you hunt fish set nets and traps you have no time left to work. And this is how the dog sled died here. It is ten times the cost to feed dogs the to fill an atv.
