I have and arrow master this year, but when I use a bow quiver I like one I can take off and put on with the arrows in it.  In the rain I put it on upside down when stand hunting.  I put a plastic bag over the feathers.  Better yet I just take it off and hang it on the tree with the bag.  For the arrow on the bow I try to tuck it under cover as much as possible.  I have even taken a zip lock and cut the bottom out to make a little tent to hold over the fletching.  When needed I just swap out an arrow.  This has worked well for me in the past.

I did the ziplock bags...very cheap and very effective for stand hunting. Lol I'm sure Washington never goes two days with out rain that must be tough.  Never really thought of the bucks going to their scrapes after a good rain...common sense eh I suppose...I will definetly try that if the opportunity arrises

Will vegitable oil keep a broadhead from rusting?  Is there a reason you should not use that?

move slow, use binos, its a perfect time to get out and sneak hunt. Shot this one in the rain a couple years ago.

Gray goose feathers for fletch and a lumenok for visibility and an Arrow Master quiver.  Most of the time I sit out rainy days. Several times I have lost deer overnite when I had to leave them only to have rain wash out all the sign. For me, unless I am on a guided or away from home hunt that limits my time afield I prefer to hunt after the rain stops.
