    Good luck on the solo single pack out too. I have a MR crewcab that is great for light packing,scouting ,glassing & deer hunts but no way I would haul an elk in it.Maybe I'm still getting used to it and adjusting with weight in off season will help. But I am going back to my Eberlestock J104...

    Say it Ain't So.....Arizona & NM

    NM is blue in city centers. But most of NM is very rural & there are many trappers & lion hunters where I live. Like half the dogs are hunters.
