Running stand to stand I pack the jacket and wear a back scabbard with the rifle and caller in it. I have it set up with a Garmin GPS with a local public lands chip in it. It is a great little rig for running the desert two tracks and I can still run it on the highway which is illegal with an ATV.

Nice setup. Before April 2019 I used to go hunting with one of dem Kolpin rifle carriers mounted starboard on the right side of my '02 Dyna, and a sissy bar rack for my backpack. I don't do that anymore, because my bike got seriously keyed (tank and fairing) by some anti-gun nut at a DOC carpark (they left a note to be sure I did not mistake their motivation...). I'm guessing, looking at your location, New Mexico, that's not likely to happen to you.

My best memory of New Mexico: heading back from Key West to LA, and being passed in New Mexico doing about 80 mph uphill on me motorsickle, by a elderly blue-rinse gal in an open-top Cadillac El Dorado with longhorns on the bonnet (i.e. hood for ye Yanquis) of her vehicle. Also, she was towing a horse trailer. The horse trailer was empty, which salvaged a little bit of my self-respect. :-)

Here was my efforts for the month, to many hours spent climbing hills for me lol
