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.

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.

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.
