Yes,I use a hip quiver, although I just hunt whitetails.

I started using a hipquiver in place of a bow quiver a long time ago.

I did a lot of still hunting years back on a farm that was really overpopulated with deer. I found my bowarm very sore and tired after stalking around holding that bow with a quiver full of arrows attached.

I switched to a hip quiver and never went back. Much less weight on the bowarm. I usually hunt from a treestand nowadays. I just strap the hipquiver to the side of the stand now. I like that the bow quiver and arrows aren't there to scratch against the branches of the tree to alert deer.

I'd imagine you have the same problem elk hunting.( the extra weight on the bow)


Now for what I don't like about it;

I do have problems carrying a treestand with a hip quiver.

Also have a problem kneeling or crawling with it on.

I can't sit on the ground without removing it from my hip.

There is alot of movement when I walk with it and tie the strap around my knee. The hip quiver really moves around if you walk too fast.

It is harder crossing a barbed wire fence


Just wanted to throw these things out there.

I still like a hipquiver though. Just don't like all that stuff hanging on my bow.
