RE: Quivers?
I am a bowquiver kinda guy. I've used backquivers, catquivers, & sidequivers, but prefer a bowquiver for 99% of my hunting. One season (maybe my 1st year hunting w/a longbow) I was intent on using a leather backquiver. Early one morning I made my way thru the predawn darkness waaay up on a ridge to a tree that still had my climber attached. I hunted awhile, & when I got ready to leave I bungee-corded the backquiver to the Summit Saber stand & headed out for the truck. When I finally got there & unloaded the stand from my back, I discovered that all my arrows were gone from the quiver! Man, I was tired, but took off back up that ridge. It took me a long time to re-trace my steps & locate all my arrows (good thing I like hunting w/brite fletching). That was close to 10 years ago & the last time I hunted w/that type of backquiver. The catquiver, on the other hand, is great for hunting in incliment conditions, & I still use it some about every year. I expect one will accompany me to the Canadian barren grounds next year, I hear it can get sorta nasty up there sometimes.
