Most of the people who do this are volunteers and there are not enough. You do not have the time to drive past every site where people are waiting, they are waiting at the next site anyway, you do not have the next day off work to go back and try again, the birds may not make the night in the boxes if you can make it out the next day. So before you do more bashing get off your arses and lend a hand. The clubs and people that do this would really appreciate your help and believe me it's needed.
I have heard of trucks even FOLLOWING the release truck, what' with that??!!
I really don't think that you release truck drivers have much choice , like you say, you have a certain amount of time to get the job done, and trying to get away from a bunch of idjits with guns would amount to a Keystone Cops movie.
