Suitable motorbike for pulling deer

[Birdshot]

Hello stalkers,

I'm looking for a small, hardy, light bike that is easy to move in and out of the pickup when needed...... nothing too expensive........I was looking at some of the Chinese imports with the 200cc Honda clone engines and and was wondering if anyone on here has had similar experience like pulling a red on a rubber mat up or down the hill with one

1 wheel drive pulling anything seems like a recipe for disaster

Why would you want a motorbike instead of a quad?

I doubt very much you would get consistent traction with this for a number of reasons also a pulling point would need to be some type of bridle from the frame! On the flat a bit of a chance but any wet ground gully steep up hill it would be a disaster.
Lots of other things like falling off "ankles wrists deer goes sideways down hill"

If any bike it would be a Honda Monkey Bike but I am "out"

Good luck

Particularly 1 rear wheel drive bike. Bad enough on a Quad going uphill with a load on the back

This sort of job is what quads are made for. I don't know what species of deer you want to drag, but anything fairly large (or even smaller) would be too heavy for a motorbike, especially off road where one driven wheel would not cut the mustard. If I were you, I'd get a quad and a pair of ramps to drive it on and off the pickup. You can get perfectly serviceable quads second hand, even the better makes for good prices, ex-farm quads for example.

Storage is an issue.....and 2 wheels are easier to store than 4

The issue is where I live......I don't have a place to store the quad

This guy had a similar idea to mine only I'd be using a rubber mat

Asking for trouble in my opinion.

Spend the money on tyres for the pickup. A motorcycle s not going to work .

That will not work set up like that, you will be off at the first obstacle, the chap has 2 videos with no "in-use" money shots
How have you recovered the deer back before?

I've got BF Goodrich k02's.......

It really really depends on the sort of ground you hunt over.

There are some 2 wheel drive bikes out there that will go pretty much anywhere. These days of electric bikes, making both wheels powered would be pretty simple.

The vast majority of my Stalking is in fields full of moss and rashes near forests close to roads within dragging distance I can pull 50-60kg larder weight all day at few hundred yards......some days I was getting 2 or 3 stags......I've now come into more ground at much greater remote distances

Search Lucas Cycles LTD something like this would be decent. I was given a 110cc pit bike meant for my son but I've been using it on fairly flat ground towing fallow up to 50kg so far and it's worked really well. Much easier to store and transport. Yes, a quad would be better but not suitable for my lifestyle, and if I'm honest this is far more fun than being on a quad!

Finally......this actually gives me a good I'd of what could potentially work.......I've been looking at 200cc bikes with wide tyres......I suppose a trailer would be better than a rubber mat

Good stuff just like a few lads say it might not be the best way to try.
PM @dlz90 as Damian will tell you how it is getting big stuff back to the truck.

Just when you thought motor biking couldn’t get any more dangerous

No more dangerous than a quad......try getting one of them off you when you have a tumble
