A word on e-bikes

I have railed against them on public lands for turkey hunting for years. I hope they ban them on all public lands in Mississippi, especially, and only especially for turkey hunting, but I am a man of culture, and so I bought one.

Holy hell are these things effective.

And fun.

And did I say effective? They're the FFS of turkey hunting. I regret to even make this post for fear that even more individuals will buy one and use it, but perhaps it will be a small cog in the wheel of expediting the outlawing of them behind gates closed off to motorized vehicles. If not, then so be it. I've got mine, and so I've joined the rat race. It will be deadly come deer season.

Muddy woods roads? Lock it in 2wd and send it. Gravel camp roads? Put it in rear wheel drive and cruise for 18 miles while pedaling when you want to. Put a gun rack on the front, a homemade welded basket on the back, and some window tint on the LCD screen for blackout conditions, and you've got an animal killing machine.

I'm the type where, if it's legal and everyone is using it, then by God, I'm joining in on the fun. Hunting and fishing is too expensive to go out behind the curve and come home empty handed.

These things have completely changed my game on hunting turkeys, scouting for wildlife, and covering ground.

I bought the edakani 1500 watt, and it has been lights out so far. I've no idea on the longevity of it, but on big hills, muddy river bottom hog trails, long gravel timber company roads, and zipping around the farm feeding animals, it has been a treat. I even got a little exercise. These things are absolutely lethal. LETHAL, I tell you.
