On IL public hunting land nobody but a turkey hunter with a legal spring turkey permit is allowed till after 1:00. As for the the rest of the post,I'm with Hobbes. This forum is full of babies. I'm going to park behind you at the gate and ride past you to get to your spot first.

not much of a problem here in southern WV right now. guess they don't like the sound of banjo music.

...YouTubers, TSS, jake and hen shooters, hikers, mushroom hunters, and now mountain bikers.  No one has blamed Sasquatch hunters or UAPs yet, so I claim those for the next reasons the birds are going away!

  ...May have something to do with having their stuff "delivered" in that part of the country!

That Illinois reg. only applies to specific sites, not a general rule for all public lands!

If someone wants to send me a nice working E Bike i will take it ... my old legs sure do get tired of walking.  I will also name the E Bike OLD GOBBLER

[Greg Massey]

Maybe instead of OLD GOBBLER name it OLD GEEZER and we may chip in.   

  Yes ... Old Gobbler the Geezer

Electric bikes are the only way some turkey hunters can get 'out there' to hunt. We get 'old' have bad legs or feet and can't get out there. If not for electric bikes they can't get out there. Some day it may be you and you'll be  complaining and you'll be the first to say we need to have access for electric bikes. Public lands mean just that open to the public, all public.

I am planning on hunting in my Little Rascal.

Age, if lucky, will eventually catch up with everyone.  I too was guilty of failing to recognize the impediments of the elderly.  Age brings it all into clear focus.  If the vehicle is noiseless, I am fine with it.  No gasoline vehicles; noiseless is a virtue; I can get more than enough noise in my everyday life.

I am all for their use for the truly physically handicapped. However I work pretty darned hard to to stay in good physical shape and hunt areas that take some effort to get to. I am not a fan of two ton Tony zipping by me eating a cheese pizza just because he bought an electric bike. I guess I am just old school and still believe in earning things. Hopefully I will get old one day and then i will not be able to do it. It's gonna suck but I intend to keep it up as long as I can.

  Personally, I prefer pepperoni on my pizza while riding past you.   

Your point is well taken, though.  There are instances where the use of "devices" to aid folks with certain physical limitations is justified,...and there are situations where they are not.  As is often the case, a little common sense goes a long ways in determining which is which.  ...The problem apparently is finding a few folks that have it...
