I'm thinking that if you had a cart, you could walk in front of them and not need to teach them to drive. We hunt weyerhauser and there are a lot of roads, but closed to vehicles. We've got a 5 mile downhill walk that goes from camp on national forest at 3,500' to the river bottom at 1,000'. Gate at the bottom where you can drive to. We leave a rig at the bottom, so we don't have to trek back uphill.
We also have a similar run that's 12 miles downhill on mountain bikes. On good years we bump elk almost each day. But getting one with a bow is not easy. Sometimes bumping means having one come in to cow calls. Sometimes they sneak in. Chirping for 30 mins or so. Decide nothing is coming, only to bust him out. Crash, snap, crash... They cannot move in the west side thick vegetation without making noise. So you generally know they are coming, but sometimes they find a quiet route.
