Whats with E bikes in whitetail hunting?

Don't own one, but I have used my mountain bike to get back into the swamp via the bike trails in my area. I don't have the luxury of injury free feet and legs, in fact , I am still courting a foot injury from Ranger school in '79.
 
Remember back in the 70s when Honda came out with 3 Wheelers, same thing just a different name and decade. All you had to do is wait until 9:30 and everyone who owned a 3 wheeler was riding the trails. Once Leasing became the main choice of hunting close to home folks started to gravitate to 3 and then 4 wheelers as most of the times you would have to get past where others had stands on your lease. I hear so many false things said about eastern hunters vs western hunters. The main thing is you hunt the way the country allows you to hunt, plain and simple. Almost all eastern hunters are hunting on Tree Farms that we have to lease for our hunting. You have some National Forest or State WMAs for hunting and you can be very successful or you can see a half dozen pumpkins walk right past you like out west. What I like about an E-Bike is I can ride with Pedal Assist like a 35 year old when I am turning 70 this year. I get to exercise without the struggle of age pulling me back as long as I don't use it as a scooter. John

Carry the extra clothes on your backpack.
The people I’m referencing don’t think like that. They think “it’s cold, I’m going to be cold. I need to dress for the cold.” And never consider that moving might make them warm enough they should lose a layer to walk in. Or take a backpack to carry the Little Debbie’s.
 
I feel like I’m being targeted.
Nah. You’re probably smart enough to take the backpack, rather than just stuffing pockets only to sit on the Christmas tree cakes and crush them somewhere during the morning.
