How many arrows?
 
Just curious how many arrows do you take with you when you go hunting?
Do you fill the quiver? or some or one? I personaly take three i figure thats all could possibly need

When I'm not far from home, five. (Three broadhead tipped and two Judo tipped for small game) When I'm on a trip (50+ miles away) I take the five in my quiver + 7 more (1 dozen) just in case. I like to be able to shoot a bit at camp and it's nice to have some extra arrows around to shoot with.

I carry 5 in my quiver and the other 7 in my bow case back at the truck.

Three. If it takes more than that in one sitting I figure I better go home and practice some more.

I always carry three in my quiver and seven more in my bow case. I usually have two for deer and one for small game.

I fill my quiver and head afield with 4 arrows tipped with razor sharp broadheads. You never know when you'll get a shot at a double or tripple (not legal in all states).

I fill my quiver. One never knows if or when he'll get in a firefight with the Comanches, and it makes sense to have a lot of ammo.;)

Actually, I've carried 3 broadheads and 3 blunts or Judo's in my hunting quiver for the past 40 years.

4, 3 w/broadheads and 1 to take a little frustration out on Mr. Squirrel

RE: How many arrows?
 
I notice alot of you like to fire one into the small game that come by.
I'm sometimes tempted but am afraid that will be the time i scare a deer away that is close by but havn't spoted yet.I'm not sure if small game is open season at the same time in my state?I'll have to check

RE: How many arrows?
 
For year's I carried 4...3 Broadheads and 1 judo...I had buddies who would carry up to 8 and I always just figured they were carrying extra weight.

2 Seasons ago I was sitting on stand and decided to take a shot at a squirrel with the judo. Miss........later I had a flock of Turkeys come in on me....first shot I missed...they stuck around and then I hit one at 20 yds right at the base of the neck with a Rocket Steelhead...he flopped on the spot...Let me tell you, I felt extremely naked sitting for 2 more hours in that stand with only 1 arrow.

My new quiver still only holds 4 arrows...but I now understand guys who take more.:)

I am the oddball, I take eight (seven hunting and one test/critter) and have six more in my case.

I fill the quickee quiver up with six.I used to have a four arrow quiver and took it on a hog hunt to Forida.I shot a crow out of a nearby tree that was stirring things up,I looked for the arrow and could not find it.Then later when hunting with dogs and chasing this big boar I ended up getting down toonly one arrow.You would understand what I mean if you ever hunted these mean nast critters[:-]If I ever hunt hogs again I'll definatly have a quiver of six on me not that it takes that many but things can get hot and heavy real quick.

RE: How many arrows?
 
My Kwikee Quiver holds six... I put two field points in the back and four broadheads up front. There's been days I've had turkeys all over me as well as deer coming in later when I used all four. Seems like when I have turkeys come in, I'm always able to kill two of them out of the flock. That only leaves me with two more to hunt with for the rest of the day.
