Currently on rutcation in Missouri. There's 7 or 8 ebike guys riding off trails through all the ag fields. I can understand the hate they get now. I don't mind them when being used legally. It's aggravating when you walk a mile past where it's legal for them to be and then some fat guy speeds past you on one.

Hell, there's a chance EF is up here and complained because the wardens have been going around asking folks to text them if they see it happening.

The guys cruising the fields are gonna mess things up for the folks using them legally.

I am going to my best friends place in MO Friday for a few days. Private land so we won't have to deal with those clowns.

Good Luck Loup

It’s the lazy few that ruin it for the vast majority of hunters. That can be applied to 99% of most conservation issues.

Good Luck Loup


Thanks. Been up here since last Thursday. Looks like I might eat my archery tags. Saw quite a few deer Friday and Saturday then they shut down. Currently holed up in my tent, pouring rain and 20 mph wind.

Looks like you'll have good weather for it. I'll be up here until the 24th so hopefully I can make something happen with the muzzleloader. Good luck to you.

Good you have phone service there, I won't have any at all unless I'm in the house on wifi, or at the top of the hill at the end of the road.

He's not in corn country so we don't have the monsters, but MO deer are much better than the south Alabama pine forest deer I usually see.

Quite literally almost everyone on Ebikes is lazy or they would have a regular bike. The issue with ebikes is that you allow anyone lazy the same or better access than those willing to put in the physical work.

I don't have an issue at all with Ebikes, being allowed only where motorized vehicles are also allowed because they are quite literally an electric motorized bike. But if its walk in or bike in only area, they shouldn't be allowed.

ETA: Good luck on the hunt OP. Did the weather warm up and thus the reason for less deer movement?

Agree on all fronts.

I saw the writing on the wall when we first starting seeing them and was against them. Of course people were going to abuse them


Need to be banned from every public land. If you want to hunt two miles away from the road then walk two miles and earn it.

Mississippi does it right re: Ebikes…ATV trails only unless you’re an old fella.

Shove a stick in the front spokes of next guy that rides past you!

Oh and be sure to video it.

E bikes are like fat chicks. They are cool and all but you don’t want to get caught riding one

Im currently sitting in a tree soaked to the bone. I told my wife I'd go to the truck and warm up if I started feeling hyperthermic and getting the urge to get naked.

Yeah that’s ridiculous. I use mine on allowed trails only. I’ll still walk a mile or more. I hope dipshits like that get a flat.
