You guys are good sports, putting up with my attempts to tease you about bow quivers and spray painting Hill bows (although I sense that Nate is a little worried about me possibly putting paint on the beautifully carmelized limbs on the Sunset Hill bow he made for me).
Don't get me wrong, I like back quivers, and use them for hunting small game all the time, but I have yet to figure out how to hunt big game with them in the kind of thick country that I hunt, while wearing a large pack (see photo below).
I always carry enough gear to be able to spend a night or two out in the bush away from camp if I have to, and it's hard to get a back quiver to ride correctly with a big pack on my back. The picture below kinda shows the problem.
Back quivers and backpacks just don't fit together well enough for quick drawing and shooting. Sure, I can put a back quiver over my pack, but it just doesn't ride where it's supposed to. Without a big backpack, no problem. WIth a big backpack, big problem.
Now, where'd I put that can of spray paint. . .
