Whats in your quiver?
« on: March 24, 2013, 06:39:36 pm »
Just a curious question, but what all do you take with you when you hunt? How many arrows, broad head, field points, knife, etc..

When I go out, I usually take 3 field points arrows, 3 broad heads, a razor blade, my K-bar, super glue, a spare bow string, extra cordage, a candle, lighter, magnesium striker, little bag of dryer lint ( if the weather is wet, some tallow for waterproofing the bow ) a flash light, and old castnet, a bit of fishing line and hook, a baggie of mixed nuts, and a water bottle.

Super glue is for bad cuts, razor and knife are for obvious cutting duties, spare string is just incase, I dont wanna have to go home because of a carelessly handled broad head. The candle and lint make great camp fire starters. I use the cast net to throw in the grass and catch locust and crickets for fish bait ( I fish by a river that feeds a nearby lake ) and often set out a line tied to a stick stuck deep in the bank. I came back to a fish more often than not ( usually a cat though sometimes a turtle ) and like to cook up the fish when I am done for the night. I usually sleep in my truck as its an hour back to my house from my spot. I like to be out for at least 2 nights, 3 if I can get time off work...

3 or 4 arrows with broad heads and a knife.  That's about it.  I only deer hunt and I do that on my property so I don't need much.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

I use a Hip Quiver - 4 broadheads + a Judo and My trusty Buck Personal on My belt. Always have a day pack on with all the esentials and the MOST important thing - a Stanley themous full of HOT-BLACK coffee  8). Bob

On a normal hunt my quiver 3 arrows, two broadheads and a blunt. My backpack has my rattle bag,grunt call, and a bottle of diluted vanilla extract, a bottle of homemade scent blocker, 1 can of skoal straight, two bottles of water and my knife. I hunt 175yards from my back deck so don't lug a lot around.

It is an attractant, it has brought several curious nannies in to me, checking out that sweet smell. Used it in Ohio a lot just brought the habit south when I came. Not good in the early season here as the yellow jackets like it more than the deer.

What's in your quiver?
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

You guys have some big quivers ???. Six broadheads and a pocket knife.

4 (or 5) broad heads and 2 blunts in a plains style quiver this year. Didn't get a chance to use any of them though. I'm still pretty new to this hunting thing and I'm solo so I've got a lot of self teaching to do yet.

Also a possibles bag over my other shoulder or sometime's I'll just stuff my pockets. Oh, and my trust worthy RAT 5.

I'm working out an idea of using a side quiver and giving it some MOLLE webbing so I can just strap stuff on.

2 Broadhead arrows and a field tip for a practice shot. I dont go "survival" hunting, I just walk out to a tree and climb up it for a few hours, then go back home.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Typically I carry 3 broadheads, 3 Field Points, extra string (that has been stretched and shot in), extra field points, string wax, hotmelt glue, and tapering tool for quick fixes. Apart from the quiver I carry my pocket knife and Hunting knife.

Nothing. I visualize an imaginary arrow and use the power of my mind to do the killing  >:D But I still need to take a quiver and bow, because otherwise I'd have nowhere to put my imaginary arrows, and nothing to shoot them out of. I cook my pasta in a similar manner.

...
...

But in all seriousness, I usually run with 3 arrows all with broadheads. We can't hunt anything with field points or blunts here, not even rabbits or squirrels  :(. I usually have my pack too which has my survival kit, a hyrdration pack, some snacks and whatever else I feel the need to bring along.
