I live here in Eastern NM, where the ground is mostly flat. When I first got out here, I couldn't figure out how to hide my truck, so I bought me a mountain bike about 2 months ago. Best thing I ever done. It's super quiet, I have rode up within 30 yards of coyotes and cattle. They never knew I was anywhere around. Mine is just a plain mountain bike, not electric. The way they are geared it isn't even hard to peddle around when you do get into the hills.
Don't know if Kansas has these freaking goat head thorns and mesquite thorns or not. Out here they are everywhere and they WILL flatten your tires. What I have done to help with this is, I put slime in the tubes. Then I went to Home Depot and pick up some 3/4 pipe insulation. I put that inside the tire and then place my tube inside that. It gives an extra 3/8 inch protection around your tube. There is a company that make these but I went the cheap route. If anyone is interested I can look it up for you. Anyone has any questions about hunting off of a bike let me know.
