Since I got a fat bike my others get ridden much less. The kicker is just how much fun it is to ride. They recently have come out with several different types of tires to make it even more versatile.
So why don't you guys take two bikes. That way you would still have one to ride out after you kill something???
Wasn't going to enter this thread but couldn't resist ^^this^^. I agree with JeffP40, you could ride one out and the dead deer could ride the other one.
Win,win!

Where would one buy a fat tire mountain bike like that? It would make a lot of sense for the closed gate public land I hunt, would really cut down on the walking. Biking in a couple of miles is much better than hiking in.
I was wondering about the feasibility of a cart. How does that handle doing downhill. Do you have brakes on the cart wheels?
The first animal was all uphill. We both pulled on the front. 1/2 at a time. Second was alot of down hill, over huge logs. We tied a rope and the back guy was "brakes". It is amazing how two guys can lift 1/2 a elk over a log with the wheels to help roll.
Not sure about about USFS, but I've seen people using bikes on the local management area lands.
That's where I bought mine. It didn't have near that big of tires, although on abandoned roads it is no problem. On that sand and the like I can see where the major big tires would be good.
