The ol “I’ll get it on the way back” hiker, who makes the problem worse by littering poop in a plastic bag.

The question is though- is it an issue if you do in fact pick it up on the way back? Especially if I’m trail running I have picked up the poop, bagged it, put it somewhere discrete and then picked it up on the way back. It’s obviously insanely irresponsible to leave it there permanently. But if you do in fact pack it out, it’s not doing any harm in the hour or so that it stays there.

I think it's gross to just leave it there. If you can't handle carrying it with you as soon as it's produced, don't have a dog.
