I was there last year and the impression I got from the staff is it's almost like the refuge doesn't like dealing with allowing hunters - I'm curious to know how much money is actually spent on keeping those 17 or so Ocelots going

My ebike is more of a peddle assisted thing rather than just running off the battery. It definitely lets me get deeper into the woods than I would be able to hiking or with a regular bike.

While I'm not longer in the best shape weight wise, I still would use a regular bike. There will come a day when, if I want to continue, I will have to adopt some help. I'm already planning on llamas for hunting out west and adding days to the trips because I will be slower. I'm not excited about ebikes either, but ask me in five or six years when I'm near 70 and my attitude will change. Yes, that's inconsistent. I'll dislike them until I have to use them. Then they will be one of my favorite tools.

I'm fully drenched in sweat at minimum 4 times a day on those hunts, sometimes all day. Scent control is out of picture. Just gotta play the wind right.....ain't no hiding that stank!!! Or roll in a big pile of nilgai skat!
I step all in it when I find it nice and slimy.[emoji2957]

Best tactic is to bury yourself in the pile and take a Texas heart shot when they are backed up to it. Works every time.

I also hope they dont do ebikes. LAGUNA is supposed to be a hard hunt. If you are one of the few willing to put in the effort to get to the untouched places of the refuge it should be to your advangtage. I ramp up my fitness quite a bit for a couple months before this type of hunt so that i can have an advantage over the out of shape guys.
