Feel free to take as many as you feel like moving along. It would be nice if you can help them along thier missions as well. Quote Link to comment
+rubai Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Remember that you can log it as a discovered TB if you dont take it. Quote Link to comment
PastorJon Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 You also might take into consideration how often the cache is visited... If you're the first visit in 3 months, I bet those bug owners would appreciate you moving them along... If it gets found on a daily basis, you could leave one for the next guy to take... but you don't have to. Hopefully they have mission cards attached, so you can determine if you can help them out or not. That would be the biggest factor in my decision. But I usually take a picture of the tracking number so I can discover it... that way the bug owner knows is bug has made it another day! Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 You also might take into consideration how often the cache is visited... Good idea. If the cache hasn't had a visit in a few months take them all and release them. As long as you are going to move them along promptly there is no need to limit how many you are taking.

You chose one of those trackables over the other. Suppose another TB gets dropped into the cache. The next person chooses the new TB over the other (for whatever reason). As long as there is more than one TB in a cache if you only take one of them, the other isn't moving. Quote Link to comment
+AA2D Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I am new as well and appreciate this question and the responses. Clears it up. Thank you. Quote Link to comment
+The_Inner_Sanctum Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Ditto the above comments....Thank you for answering the original question.......... Quote Link to comment
+Knight2000 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 If the cache has TB "requirements" like trade even or don't take a TB if you don't have one to leave please consider taking them all. The cache owner shouldn't be dictating how TB's other than their own are moved. Quote Link to comment
+dakin55 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I too went on a "I got the bug to find a bug" When I looked at a cache with multiple bugs in it I evaluated how long they have been there. IF 3 had been there a month I would take all three ( knowing that I would move them quick) If there were 2 and they had just got dropeed in the last week, I would take 1. I make it a point to find a cache to drop the bugs in even if I have been there before. Presently I have 2 tackables out with 1 being picked up for 3 weeks ( yes it is traveling abit of distance ) but would love to see it back in circulation. I think the cacher might be trying to fufill the goal in 1 jump Quote Link to comment
+Photoguy505 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 On a side note.. other than specific instructions (no brainer there) is there any rule for how far they need to move? I don't get out of my home town much.. maybe I move them from a remote site to one within my town that may be visited by out-of-towners? Quote Link to comment

If the trackable can fit, you could move it to the next closest cache. Bruce Quote Link to comment
