Forgot your release, what do you do?

Here is something that my hunting buddies and I have all done at least once. For you release shooters out there. If you got into the stand and realized you forgot your release, what do you do?

Go back to the car/truck and get my spare that I leave in the vehicle. Always buy 2 and keep on in the glove box.

Well considering that it is like a 5 minute drive from my house i would just run home really quick and grab the release. But i do have a spare in the glove box just as said before.

None of the above. I would just get out my back up release. If for some reason I didn't have it either then I would go hmo and get it but that has never happened because I keep my back up in my bag and i don't hunt without my bag.

Seeing as how its an hour to my house I would probably stay just to see whats in the area and come back the next day prepared.

RE: Forgot your release, what do you do?

Being that I keep my release inside my bow case, with my bow, I guess I'd have to drive home.

Depending on which area I'm hunting, I'd either run back real quick or scrap the hunt for the morning...
