doublegunshop.com - home Forums Thread Like Summary - My New Ride

I hunt on a grazing lease that is many tens of thousands acres large. There is one road in and you can not drive off it nor can I use an ATV due to the potential for fires. There is no camping either. Its impossible to walk in and out in a day. So its pedal power. Using my C. Hellis for the day.

I'd post a photo or two of my bike, but I'm about done with photo posting here. I've run through Photobucket, Hunt101, and jpegbox.com which all have faded away. Wish this site allowed direct posting without a hosting intermediary. I have a 90's era Cannondale hardtail mountain bike rigged with gun holder on handlebars and a plastic milk crate on the cargo carrier. The Cannondale replaced my old steel-framed Schwinn that I had been using since the 70's. I'm still healthy and fit enough to pedal without electric motor assist. When hunting with a red dot on my shotgun, I prefer to sling it over my back rather than rely on the handlebar holders as my bike has no shocks and I'm concerned about losing zero due to hard jarring along the trails I hunt.

PS. Stan just pm'd that Jpgbox is working again. Here's a photo of me and the bike with the dog which is hell to get to sit still.

Tamid, Great ride. Do what you want, but I've been riding long enough to know that sooner or later you are going to break that nice shotgun. It needs a hard case !

you could add one of these, they are pretty lightweight and do protect your shotgun.
