cast-DB - a couple of good ideas you've thrown out. If I could 5-6 miles, I'd make a camp, then hike/hunt the rest of the way. I have an older mountain bike that I used to ride alot.
According to my G&F contact, he's been on the entire length of the road/trail with a mountain bike and thinks the mountain bike idea is the way to go.
How much weight can you comfortably handle on one of the bike carriers? I've been de-boning the last couple elk. 75lbs/load would mean 2 trips give or take a few pounds.
