How many arrows do you take?

[micahash1]

Ok... So in the fog of the hunt, how many of you have wacked a large game animal with that blunt?

My buddies usually do this at least once a year.  Mostly on cows a bull every once in a while. (Mooowww Cows that is )  You should see the looks they give you.

I will be the first to bite: Once and I dont know who was more suprised at the lack of arrow penetration me or the deer! Let's just say I now carry a judo tip in my pack and if a grouse is dumb enough to hang around until I remove the broadhead and put on the judo it deserves to die plus I wont bonk any more deer.

that would be a mind blower to see the arrow fly a bounce off..WHAT THE

This reminds of when i was a little kid and my dad jumps out of the truck after seeing a nice deer in a little clear cut grabs his BLR and closes the action THEN puts the clip in and dropped the hammer on an empty chamber that seemed almost as loud as a gun shot at that moment not quite the same but just as effective

my quiver holds six, i am backpacking this year so it seems like a little much but o well

Same as most- 4 broadheads, 1 judo.  Another 6-8 broadheads and shafts at camp.  Dumped the entire quiver off the bow on the side of a mountain in the dark.  Never did find it.  Expensive move...at $10 for the arrow and $13 for the Montec.  What an idiot.  So I carry at least another quiver full at camp, but 5 in the field.

By the way, has any body else tried to shoot those lousy noisy squirrels and have them be 9 ft away by the time your arrow gets there?  Amazing how fast the vermin are.  Quite humbling actually.  Made me realize my arrow must be REALLY slow

4 broadheads (slick tricks) and 1 judo

I'll carry five broadheads and one practice arrow. Five arrows fit in my quiver... I'll either use a piggy-backer to carry the practice arrow or add a solo stalker and move my number one into it and the practice arrow into the quiver. The arrow box with another half dozen broadhead-tipped arrows will be in the truck but it is several miles from camp and I don't visit it unless I need to replenish something.

Blunting cattle is flat wrong unless they are yours. Find some respect.

I know one man who used to carry a blunt but stopped doing so after, in the heat of the moment, he once grabbed it by mistake and bounced it off an elk's ribs.

By the way does everyone know that there is only one squirrel in the state, the Eastern Gray, that isn't protected by law?

[huntnnw]

Always have 5. I have gotten multiple shots off at 2 elk.

[Ghost1941]

Six, four broadheads and two field points.  Haven't archery hunted since I came to this state though...

[blackhorn]

1!  I can only afford the one arrow 

[Fullabull]

I take three hunting and one target with me on the hunt. My son and I use the same arrows so we have eighteen all together for the trip plus some others that we could switch to if needed. Only one time have I used all three arrows during a hunt and that was on the same bull. I missed clean over his back on the first but he didn't know what happened so the second one hit him clean in the chest but the light was going down so I couldn't see how good. He jumped and turned so I couldn't see the entry. I could tell he was getting week but he wasn't going down and he was next to a steep hill so I hit him again, he jumped about ten yards and dropped (before going down the hill)

If I miss with three shots, I need to check my bow!

Can't wait!!!!

My new quiver holds 5 so I'll also take 4 broadheads (montecs) and 1 field point for grouse or rabbit or whatever annoys me in the trees.  My old quiver held 4 and I never ran out of arrows...except my field point arrow got lost or broken several times.  I do remember times when beginning 20+ years ago emptying my quiver and still having an animal standing there looking at me.

[inmysights]

3 with montec 125s in the quiver. About 12 or so back at camp. Shot a broadhead at a grouse last year about 15 feet up a tree. Pinned the grouse there and spent about a half hour figuring out how to get the sumbeech down. And lost a broadhead in the process, not going that route again

[hoyt5199]

I usally take 5, just in case I see some coyotes with in bow range

[spikehunter]

I take NONE  just 3 backup quick-loads for my muzzy

[Fishsmoker]

I carry 7, 5 broadhead and 2 field points.
