Can anyone answer me a question ?

[BOWHUNTER45]

This is a little off the chart but always seems to bother me  Maybe I am the only one that ever notices but it seems strange to me .. I have noticed a lot of photos of Bowhunters taking pictures of there trophies and not only on HW but FB and other places where the hunter is posing with there animal and their quiver has no arrows missing .. Is it to look good or what is the reason ?You would think if you killed something with an arrow there would be one missing  Someone fill me in

Maybe they find the arrow that was used to shoot the animal, and stick it back in the quiver.

After shooting the animal I always look for the arrow to see what kind of blood in on it.  That is if it hasn't dropped in you view.   Arrows are darn expensive too.

most have no blood on them ..maybe they clean them up for appearance purposes

  that's what I would think.

your right there. But if there is none missing then how are you looking ?

I haven't cleaned mine off until a couple days later.

I always clean re-quiver mine.

Mine stay with the trophy. The tag (so I remember the day and year) and the arrow go in the rack.

I always re-quiver.  All it takes is one fall, one slip and you are sewing yourself up with fishing line in the field.

Ok maybe it is the drugs I am taking for my knee but you said you seeing pictures of people with the animals with their quivers not missing any arrows.  What I have done is make the shot.  Deer slumps of and moves off into the thick stuff.  I waited 15-30 minutes go out of my stand/blind.  Looked for my arrow, if it was a pass through shot, to see if I have good blood.  Put it back in my quiver and go looking for the animal.  If I then took a picture I would have a full quiver of arrows.  Now if it wasn't a pass through then that is a very good question.

Think some are missing my point .. I am saying when your taking pictures in the field with your trophy why is there no arrows missing ..not when you get home and reload it .

I miss a lot so I always have arrows missing 

[h20hunter]

I see what you are saying. I try and find the arrow, never wipe it off, and requiver it. I don't reuse (not filling a ton of tags helps this) arrows once they have been shot into a critter.

I don't think anyone is talking about when they're at home. I would assume it's exactly as Russ is saying - before looking for the animal they go and collect their arrow, put it back in quiver, start the blood trail to trophy, take a pic with trophy and full quiver (assuming they only took the one shot). Bam, full quiver.
