i've known peopel to take the cart up before the season starts and lock it to a tree in the public woods...at the same time i've seen it done with a bicycle if you have a trail that is easy to ride in on...i'm sure you know about stoney valley over here in dauphin co, and the game lands that are there as well...I think its 211? but anyways, they have an old railroad bed that goes back into the game lands for like 24 miles...many of hiking trails split off here and most people will ride a bike back the trail, park, lock, and then hike the rest of the way up the trails...when they bag a deer, theyw ould tie it down to the handlebars and then tie the rear end down on the seat/crossbar....It also seems to work better if you have a front basket and the two side baskets in the back...but then they just walk the deer out with it on top of the bike...
