Default How many hunting arrows?

Hey all,
Just wondered how many arrows yall have designated for hunting?? Right now i have 10 that will be only for shooting deer. Im hoping thats enough for the season. I fletched all my arrows and shot them w/ broadheads to make sure my 10 hunting arrows will be accurate. Cant wait, only 2 weeks away!

Last year I had 6. I only carry 4 when I hunt. I inspect them after a shot and if they are OK, I re-use them.

This year I am still playing with some new arrows and weight tubes so I may only have 4 by opening day.

You should only need 1 but I carry a 5 broadhead arrows and 1 field tip arrow for the pesty varmits and an occasional turkey or coon.

How many deer are you planning to shoot?

I'll have two or three for hunting this year. I'm not planning on killing too many. I may load up for one spot because I do want to empty my quiver one morning 6 arrows - 6 deer. Got to love the over population areas.

I have 6 hunting arrows, but i only have 4 in my quiver when hunting, one of them is used for the racoons or whatever varments come wandering through.

I only carry 4 in my quiver as well. But I hunt in 3 different states as well as bear hunt. Im allowed 2 bucks in one state 3 in the other and 1 in the other. So i could potentially kill alot. I will reshoot an arrow, but you know how it goes, some get broken or damaged, i just want to have plenty. Im taking a trip to IL so i dont want to run out by then. Not to mention the unlimited antlerless deer i can take.

I bring 4 to the woods. 2 for deer 1 for coyote ect and I keep 1 as a marker arrow. If I shoot a deer I then shootit into a stump or tree where I last saw the deer. Things always look different on the ground.
