Anyone use a hip quiver for hunting?

Been thinking about trying one of the hip quivers for hog hunting.  I am talking about the ones that attach to your belt and leg.  I've used them before but its been a while and it wasn't in Texas.

So I thought I'd ask and see what you all thought and if you had any recommendations on which ones worked well for you.

Thanks

so much for getting answers about a HIP quiver.   :D

I once had a hip quiver as described and, like others have mentioned, found that it wagged my arrows around like I was waving a flag. The only use I have for it now is to (rarely) wear it for carrying my arrows into my stand before daylight and then taking it off once I get in the stand. In other words, its just a freight hauler, because I could never be stealthy enough with it to attempt a stalk.

Now , however, I generally carry a back quiver, and usually use it primarily as a freight hauler, too. I am just too clumsy to do much spot and stalk hunting.

Here is a picture of the Absorkee Quiver, sorry I don't have any pictures of it in use on photobucket, can try to get some down loaded tomorrow.  As it is hanging here is very close to how it hangs off your belt.

 

Thanks,

I just bought this vista hip quiver and I really like it. I can not stand a bow quiver. [/url] [/IMG]

Define them as you choose    )  

The Absorkee by Tim @ Farr West is about as good as they get especially if it come with the sheath and knife "option"

Ever think on making your own? It can really be inexpensive. Tape a bunch of construction paper pieces together and start tracing out patterns. Actually make one out of paper, see how it hangs, modify it as much as you want. Then get some leather supplies from sponsers here or Tandy or wherever and do one up!

Here's one my 15 year old son helped me make a few years ago:

I still use an old Chuck Adams hip quiver from time to time.  It is still in good shape and works well.
