2 or 3 broadheads, depends on what quiver I'm using that day, and I always carry a Judo tip.

Is this a day hunt?  Backpack hunts I usually only carry my five in the quiver but at base camp or the truck have a dozen with broagheads ready to go.

Day hunts usually just the 5 in my great northern.  Sometimes one is a "hammer" blunt other times all are broadheads.  I know a few guys that had big hunts ruined because a fall broke their quiver full and they didn't have backups at the truck...
Give me a bow a topo and two weeks, and I guarantee I kill two weeks!

4-6 w/one being a field point or small game head. I like to pick a leaf 15-20 yards from my stand to practice one shot for confidence sometimes.

On my upcoming moose hunt, the quiver will be full of broadheads (6)
60" Bear Super Kodiak 50@28 (56@31)

Close to home I have a Mini Kwikee that holds three. On trips while hunting always four with broadheads.  Extras in camp of course...

You can hop but you can't hide.
If it was not for rabbits I would never get a buck.

Most of the time I'll have 3-4 broadheads and 1-2 blunts. And since arrows are'nt cheap, I'll always take the same arrow that tagged a deer last year! (if it's in good shape!)

Three and one. That may change though to two and one soon enough.

I shot the neck off a grouse the other day and the 165grn. snuffer quickly became a blunt thanks to a rock behind the bird!

Duh!

Well, now I have a blunt with attitude...


Joshua, as surprised as the grouse was.
