you just drove 3 hrs. to your best hunt'n spot, open your box and realize you forgot your tracker & shock collars. what now? run or not?

run...gotta trust the dogs

dump the box. if any get lost or dont handle atleast you dont lose the tracking or shock collar.

I'd run. However I also am diligent about checking and double checking to make sure I have all my stuff. I have too many "senior moments" not to. I use a small or large travel bag depending on what I need. I forget my leash much more often than my collars.

Did the same thing before I knew the dogs were broke off deer guess what finally got them 5 miles down the rode I was lucky they crossed a busy road

If I couldn't run my dogs with out collars then I dont need them I could see running dogs that arent total broke

If I left my shocking collars (I don't use a tracking system)... I would definitely drop my pack and run. Don't get me wrong. It's definitely an ease of mind running them with the collars on, but I wouldn't mind running without them either.

Also, 3 hours is a long way to drive (especially one way) and end up not hunting.

Joe , Short prayer, drop the tailgate and cut em loose. Send the wife a message saying may be a bit late today. Or like me, thats an automatic when running hounds. Lol

I'd still run, but might leave one or two in the box...Grand Dad and Dad would haunt me from the grave if I didn't turn 3 or 4 loose any way. LOL

I'd run, that's a long way to go and blow it off over collars.I rarely use training collars and often wonder why I bother with trackers, I do like the info I get from them and always knowing where they are though.

I know Im getting old when you go to unload the dogs and the box is empty. Al

That's funny Al!!! I've got home and realized I left one or 2 in the woods. lol

I always collar mine in the kennel. ready to roll when they are still in the truck. Remove collars when I get home.
